Abstract
A systematic procedure is presented for synthesizing chemical complexes in which toxicology aspects are incorporated in addition to the economic considerations Based on previous, work by Grossmann and Santibanez,it is proposed that the problem be formulated as a bicriterion mixed-integer programming problem, in which the two basic objectives that are considered are the maximization of the net present value and the minimization of toxicity in the overall system. The use of two different types of toxicity indices is explored, and solution strategies based on the theory of multicriterion optimization are developed, The application of the strategies is presented through a simple example.Keywords
