Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process to Structure the Selection of Techniques for Antibiotic Bacterial Dregs

Abstract:

Antibiotic bacterial dregs with the characteristics of large amount, difficult disposal, potential impacts for the environment, need to be treated or disposed by safe methods. In the present paper, the resource utilization of antibiotic bacterial residues and their treatment and disposal methods have been summarized and reviewed. Based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the reasonable and safe ways to treat antibiotic bacterial dregs have been chosen and compared. The results indicated that the first considered way to treat antibiotic bacterial residues was the compost technology and its weight was 0.2517. Additionally, followed by the anaerobic denitrification, the weight was 0.2215. The result of the study can be used as references for future planning or selection of antibiotic bacterial dregs treatments.
