Abstract
Due to increasingly stringent legal requirements and escalating environmental control costs, chemical industries have paid close attention to sustainable development without compromising their economic performance. Thus, chemical industries are in need of systematic tools to conduct sustainability assessments of their process/plant design. In order to avoid making costly retrofits at later stages, assessments during the preliminary design stage should be performed. In this paper, a systematic framework is presented for chemical processes at the preliminary design stage. Gross profit, Health Quotient Index (HQI), Inherent Safety Index (ISI) and the Waste Reduction (WAR) algorithm are used to assess the economic performance, health, safety and environmental impact of the process, respectively. The fuzzy optimization approach is used to analyse the trade-off among the four aspects simultaneously, as they often conflict with each other. Deviation between the solution obtained from mathematical optimization model and process simulator is determined to ensure the validity of the model. To demonstrate the proposed framework, a case study on 1, 4-butanediol production is presented.

Abstract
The health and environmental effects of chemical processes can be assessed during the initial stage of their production. In this paper, the Chemical Screening Tool for Exposure and Environmental Release (ChemSTEER) software was used to compare the health and environmental risks of spray pyrolysis and wet chemical techniques for the fabrication of nanostructured metal oxide on a semi-industrial scale with a capacity of 300 kg/day in Iran. The pollution sources identified in each production process were pairwise compared in Expert Choice software using indicators including respiratory damage, skin damage, and environmental damages including air, water, and soil pollution. The synthesis of nanostructured zinc oxide using the wet chemical technique (with 0.523 wt%) leads to lower health and environmental risks compared to when spray pyrolysis is used (with 0.477 wt%). The health and environmental risk assessment of nanomaterial production processes can help select safer processes, modify the operation conditions, and select or modify raw materials that can help eliminate the risks.
