Hybridization apparatus for a new chemical composition of the dredging sludge: Case of the Bouhanifia dam

Abstract

To overcome the deficit in natural resources and meet the ever-increasing demand in the field of construction, waste recovery channels represent significant interests in a sustainable development perspective. The valorization of the dredged silt at the Bouhanifia dam, located in the north-west of Algeria, for its use in the brick-making technology is the way we have followed. In the context of decision support in order to have an adequate chemical analysis of a clay used in the manufacture of red brick, the use of the Electre III multi-criteria method, developed in hybridization with the Genetic Algorithm, is recommended, which makes it possible to establish a ranking of the different parameters, within a set of potential actions constituting a range of possible solutions for the choice of the best chemical composition of the mud from the dredging of the Bouhanifia dam.
