Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and particularly to a method and device for converting and monitoring tobacco waste. Background Art
[0002] With the increase in tobacco production, tobacco waste is also increasing continuously. How to effectively convert the useful components in tobacco waste and monitor the pollution of tobacco waste has become an important issue. The traditional method for treating tobacco waste is mainly landfill. Cigarette butts in tobacco waste will release nicotine during the landfill process, polluting the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the nicotine in cigarette butts. Nicotine in cigarette butts has economic value and can be extracted and recycled. Traditional cigarette butt recycling relies on manual sorting, which is inefficient and has an adverse impact on the health of sorting personnel. Nicotine in cigarette butts will pollute the environment. When different types of cigarette butts are mixed for treatment, it is impossible to conduct targeted treatment according to the difference in nicotine content in different types of cigarette butts. In addition, using a single method to extract nicotine from cigarette butts has low efficiency. It is difficult for the traditional method to achieve a balance between environmental protection and economic benefits in cigarette butt treatment. Summary of the Invention

Calculate the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual cigarette butt recycling volumes, compare and analyze them, and obtain the trend and changes of cigarette butt recycling. By calculating the recycling volumes in different regions or different recycling points and drawing a geographical distribution map or heat map, determine the distribution of cigarette butt recycling points. According to the time attribute in the statistical data, judge the seasonal distribution of cigarette butt recycling. By calculating the cigarette butt recycling volumes in each season and comparing and analyzing them, obtain the differences and changes in cigarette butt recycling in different seasons. By counting the recycling volumes of different recycling methods and comparing and analyzing them, determine the contribution degree of different recycling methods to cigarette butt recycling. For example, in a cigarette butt recycling project, the statistical data shows that the recycling volume attribute is 1000 cigarette butts recycled per day. The weekly cigarette butt recycling volume can be calculated as 1000 * 7 = 7000 cigarette butts, the monthly recycling volume is 1000 * 30 = 30000 cigarette butts, and the annual recycling volume is 1000 * 365 = 365000 cigarette butts. To compare and analyze the trend and changes of cigarette butt recycling, the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual recycling volumes can be compared. According to the statistical data, the monthly cigarette butt recycling volumes in a certain city are as follows: the recycling volume in January is 1000 cigarette butts, the recycling volume in February is 1200 cigarette butts, the recycling volume in March is 900 cigarette butts, and the recycling volume in April is 1500 cigarette butts. It can be seen that the recycling volume in April is relatively high, which may be because the activities or publicity effects in this month are better, attracting more people to participate in recycling, while the recycling volume in March is relatively low, which may be due to seasonal changes or other factors resulting in a decrease in people's participation. In addition, a geographical distribution map or heat map can be drawn based on the recycling volumes in different regions or different recycling points to determine the distribution of cigarette butt recycling points. It is found that the recycling points in a certain city are concentrated in the downtown area and less in the suburbs, which can provide guidance for relevant departments to increase the layout of recycling points. According to the time attribute in the statistical data, the seasonal situation of cigarette butt recycling can be judged. Calculate the cigarette butt recycling volumes in each season and compare and analyze them. It is found that the cigarette butt recycling volume in summer is relatively high, while the recycling volume in winter is relatively low, which may be related to the increase in people's outdoor activities and the warming of the weather. By counting the recycling volumes of different recycling methods, the contribution degree of different recycling methods to cigarette butt recycling can be determined. Calculate that the recycling volume of the recycling bin is 500 cigarette butts, while the recycling volume of community activities is 300 cigarette butts, which means that the recycling bin has a higher contribution degree to cigarette butt recycling.
[0110] Step S102: Automatically identify the cigarette butts based on the image data of the cigarettes, and automatically separate the cigarette butts from other parts of the cigarettes. In some specific application scenarios, the following can be achieved:
[0111] Analyze the possible cigarette butt regions in the image based on the pixel distribution and density of the cigarette image data, providing possible cigarette butt candidate regions for subsequent processing. Within the determined possible cigarette butt candidate regions, adjust the image brightness and contrast according to the illumination intensity and angle in the image. Obtain the color contrast between the cigarette butts and other parts of the cigarettes, and perform image binarization based on the threshold segmentation method to make the cigarette butts have an obvious difference from the background. Use the Sobel operator to process the binarized image to obtain the edge information of the cigarette butts. Based on the edge information, extract the unique texture and surface features of the cigarette butts to provide a basis for cigarette butt recognition. According to the connectivity between the cigarette butts and other parts of the cigarettes, use image connected region analysis to further clarify the position of the cigarette butts. Analyze the spatial relationship and distance between the cigarette butts and other parts of the cigarettes, and filter out objects that are similar in shape to the cigarette butts but are not cigarette butts. Compare the candidate regions with the known cigarette butt features, and use template matching to confirm the final position of the cigarette butts, completing the separation of the cigarette butts from other parts of the cigarettes. For example, through the analysis of the pixel distribution and density of the cigarette image data, it is obtained that there is a possible cigarette butt candidate region in the image, and the pixel distribution in this region is relatively concentrated and the pixel density is high. Within this candidate region, by analyzing the illumination intensity and angle in the image, the image brightness and contrast are adjusted to obtain an image with obvious cigarette butt features. Next, obtain the color contrast between the cigarette butts and other parts of the cigarettes. Through calculation, the contrast between the color of the cigarette butts and the background is obtained as 8. Based on this contrast value, the image can be binarized using the threshold segmentation method to make the cigarette butts have an obvious difference from the background. After obtaining the binarized image, use the Sobel operator to process the image to obtain the edge information of the cigarette butts. Through the edge information, the unique texture and surface features of the cigarette butts can be extracted to provide a basis for cigarette butt recognition. Next, use image connected region analysis to further determine the position of the cigarette butts according to the connectivity between the cigarette butts and other parts of the cigarettes. The analysis results show that the cigarette butts are connected to other parts of the cigarettes and are near the candidate region. After further analyzing the spatial relationship and distance between the cigarette butts and other parts of the cigarettes, objects that are similar to the cigarette butts but are not cigarette butts are filtered out. Through template matching technology, the candidate region is compared with the known cigarette butt features, and the template matching result shows that the candidate region highly matches the cigarette butt features, confirming the final position of the cigarette butts.
[0112] Step S103: Judge the brands of each cigarette butt and the corresponding cigarette types, including flue-cured tobacco and blended cigarettes, based on the identified images of the cigarette butts. In some specific application scenarios, the following can be achieved:
[0113] Preprocess the input cigarette butt image, including image denoising, grayscale conversion, and edge detection. Through image segmentation and HOG feature extraction, separate the logo, trademark, or text information on the cigarette butt from the background and extract its features. Compare the extracted logo, trademark, or text information with a database of known brands, using HOG feature extraction to determine the brand to which the cigarette butt belongs. Based on the cigarette shape, logo, or text information on the cigarette butt, through HOG feature extraction and the K-mean algorithm, judge the type of cigarette, whether it is flue-cured tobacco or blended cigarette. Through HOG feature extraction, extract the color, length, and texture attribute information of the cigarette butt, and use this as a basis for further judging the characteristics and properties of the cigarette butt. Based on the recognized cigarette butt image, determine the brand to which the cigarette butt belongs and the type of cigarette, and simultaneously obtain the relevant attribute information of the cigarette butt. For example, preprocess a cigarette butt image and extract its feature information. Use Gaussian blur to denoise the image to obtain a denoised image, perform grayscale conversion on the denoised image to convert it into a grayscale image, use the Canny operator to perform edge detection on the grayscale image, and perform image segmentation on the edge image to separate the logo, trademark, or text information on the cigarette butt from the background. Then, use the HOG feature extraction algorithm to extract features from the logo area to obtain a feature with a 128-dimensional feature vector. Next, compare the extracted features with a database of known brands to find the brand that is most similar. A brand is found in the database that is most similar to the extracted features. Use HOG feature extraction and the K-means algorithm to judge the type of the cigarette butt. Extract the shape features of the cigarette butt and use the K-means algorithm to divide it into two categories, including flue-cured tobacco and blended cigarettes. Then, use the HOG feature extraction algorithm to extract the color, length, and texture attribute information of the cigarette butt to obtain a feature with a 256-dimensional feature vector. Finally, based on the recognized cigarette butt image and the classification judgment performed, determine the brand to which the cigarette butt belongs and the type of cigarette, and obtain the relevant attribute information of the cigarette butt. According to the above steps, after processing and feature extraction of a cigarette butt image, the following results are obtained: The extracted logo features are most similar to a certain brand in the known brand database, and this brand is Brand A. Based on the shape features of the cigarette butt and the K-means algorithm, it is judged that the cigarette butt belongs to flue-cured tobacco. The extracted color feature of the cigarette butt is red, the length feature is 10 cm, and the texture feature is delicate. Therefore, based on the recognized cigarette butt image, it can be judged that the cigarette butt belongs to Brand A's flue-cured tobacco and has the attribute of red color, 10 cm length, and delicate texture.
[0114] Step S104, calculate the nicotine recovery content and efficiency for each type of cigarette butt according to the type of cigarette butt and the nicotine content therein. In some specific application scenarios, the following can be achieved:
[0115] The collected cigarette butts are sampled and tested by type to form a comparison table of cigarette butt types and their nicotine content. Through the instruction manual of the nicotine extraction equipment, the specific processing efficiency parameters are obtained. Analyze the equipment efficiency under different environmental conditions and determine the optimal recovery environmental conditions. According to the error range of the nicotine content measurement tool GC-FID, correct the actually recovered nicotine content. Analyze the collected sample data to determine the average nicotine recovery amount for each type of cigarette butt, and provide optimization suggestions for nicotine recovery work. For example, the collected cigarette butts are divided into three types, A, B, and C. These cigarette butts are sampled and tested, and the processing efficiency parameters are obtained according to the instruction manual of the nicotine extraction equipment. 100 cigarette butts are randomly selected for testing, and the following results are obtained: for type A, 40 cigarette butts with an average nicotine content of 5 mg; for type B, 30 cigarette butts with an average nicotine content of 3 mg; for type C, 30 cigarette butts with an average nicotine content of 2 mg. According to the instruction manual of the nicotine extraction equipment, the processing efficiency parameter is 80%, that is, the equipment can recover 80% of the nicotine from the cigarette butts. Then, according to the specific environmental conditions including temperature and humidity, evaluate the equipment efficiency. In an environment with a temperature of 25 °C and a humidity of 50%, the equipment efficiency is 75%. In an environment with a temperature of 30 °C and a humidity of 60%, the equipment efficiency is 85%. According to the error range of the nicotine content measurement tool GC-FID, the error is ±0.5 mg, that is, the maximum allowable difference between the actual measurement value and the true value is 0.5 mg. Based on the above data, the average nicotine recovery amount for each type of cigarette butt can be calculated as follows: the average nicotine recovery amount for type A = 40 * 5 * 80% * 75% = 12 mg, the average nicotine recovery amount for type B = 30 * 3 * 80% * 75% = 4 mg, the average nicotine recovery amount for type C = 30 * 2 * 80% * 85% = 8 mg. According to the above analysis results, the following optimization suggestions can be obtained: for type A cigarette butts, with a relatively high nicotine recovery amount, more attention and investment can be given in the recovery work. For type B and C cigarette butts, with a relatively low nicotine recovery amount, it can be considered to optimize the recovery equipment or improve the recovery environmental conditions to improve the recovery efficiency.
[0116] Step S105, according to the cigarette butt brand and type, replace different nicotine extraction methods to obtain the most efficient nicotine extraction method. As Figure 3 shown, it can be achieved as follows:
[0117] Obtain a database of brands and types based on the diversity identification of cigarette butts' brands and types. Use the K-means algorithm to group the brands and types. Based on the nicotine concentration data of different brand cigarette butts, determine which brands or types of cigarette butts have nicotine above the preset concentration. Based on the structural difference data of the cigarette butt material composition, as well as the brand and type of the cigarette butt, screen out the nicotine extraction methods. Based on the correlation data between the cigarette butt material composition and the extraction efficiency, determine the best nicotine extraction method. Adjust the extraction conditions for the determined nicotine extraction method, including the extraction solvent, extraction time, and extraction temperature, to ensure maximum extraction efficiency. Through the economic evaluation of the nicotine extraction method, determine the most economically viable extraction method. Based on the standardized evaluation of the nicotine concentration of cigarette butt brands and types, correct and improve the data. For example, there are cigarette butts of brand A and brand B. The composition of brand A is 40% nicotine, 30% nicotine, and 30% other components, while the composition of brand B is 50% nicotine, 20% nicotine, and 30% other components. By understanding the composition of each cigarette butt, the applicability of the extraction method can be determined. Secondly, different nicotine extraction methods are adopted according to different cigarette butt brands and types. For brand A, choose the direct chemical treatment method. Use ethanol as the solvent, mix the cigarette butts with ethanol, and through appropriate reaction conditions, such as temperature and time, to extract nicotine. For brand B, the biological degradation followed by chemical treatment method can be selected. First, use enzymes or microorganisms to degrade the cigarette butts, decompose the organic matter into a more easily treatable form, and then use chemical methods to extract nicotine. For a special cigarette butt brand C with a relatively hard structure and not easily soluble, use the physical pulverization followed by chemical treatment method. First, break the cigarette butts into small particles through physical pulverization, and then use chemical methods to extract nicotine. This method requires additional equipment and energy, using a special crusher to pulverize the cigarette butts. When choosing the extraction method, the costs of different treatment methods also need to be considered. For the direct chemical treatment method, the costs of ethanol and other chemical reagents, as well as the energy consumption during the reaction process, need to be considered. For the biological degradation followed by chemical treatment method, the costs of biological degradation technology and chemical reagents need to be considered. For the physical pulverization followed by chemical treatment method, the investment in the crusher and the energy consumption need to be considered. Finally, by evaluating the economic benefits of various treatment methods, considering the nicotine extraction benefits, the value of by-products, and the possible environmental and sustainability impacts, select the most cost-effective method.
[0118] Evaluate the costs of each nicotine extraction method and the economic benefits after extraction, and determine the nicotine extraction method with the best economic benefits.
[0119] Specifically, according to the treatment methods for nicotine extraction from cigarette butts, there are the following three different treatment methods: direct chemical extraction, chemical extraction after biodegradation, and chemical extraction after physical pulverization. Evaluate the economic benefits of these methods, including extraction efficiency, cost, processing time, risk, and safety factors. For example, the extraction efficiency of the direct chemical extraction method is 5 mg per gram of cigarette butt, the chemical reagent cost is 2 yuan per gram, and the extraction time is 2 hours. The extraction efficiency of the chemical extraction method after biodegradation is 7 mg per gram of cigarette butt, and the cost of chemical reagents and biological enzymes is 3 yuan per gram, and the extraction time is 2 hours. The extraction efficiency of the chemical extraction method after physical pulverization is 8 mg per gram of cigarette butt, and the cost of chemical reagents and crusher is 3 yuan per gram, and the extraction time is 3 hours. In addition, risk and safety factors need to be considered. The direct chemical extraction method may face the risk of chemical leakage, while the chemical extraction method after biodegradation may have less impact on the environment. Finally, processing cost and safety need to be considered. According to the by-products or waste that may be generated during the biodegradation or physical pulverization process, the processing cost and safety can be evaluated. The chemical extraction method after biodegradation may produce some hazardous wastes that need to be properly treated, while the chemical extraction method after physical pulverization may produce less waste, and the processing cost and safety are relatively high. By comprehensively evaluating the economic benefits of various methods, including extraction efficiency, cost, processing time, risk, and safety factors, the nicotine extraction method with the best economic benefits can be determined. According to the evaluation results, the chemical extraction method after biodegradation may perform better in terms of extraction efficiency and cost, but there may be certain problems in terms of processing time and safety. According to the treatment methods for nicotine extraction from cigarette butts, there are the following three different treatment methods: direct chemical extraction, chemical extraction after biodegradation, and chemical extraction after physical pulverization. Evaluate the economic benefits of these methods, including extraction efficiency, cost, processing time, risk, and safety factors. For example, the extraction efficiency of the direct chemical extraction method is 5 mg per gram of cigarette butt, the chemical reagent cost is 2 yuan per gram, and the extraction time is 2 hours. The extraction efficiency of the chemical extraction method after biodegradation is 7 mg per gram of cigarette butt, and the cost of chemical reagents and biological enzymes is 3 yuan per gram, and the extraction time is 2 hours. The extraction efficiency of the chemical extraction method after physical pulverization is 8 mg per gram of cigarette butt, and the cost of chemical reagents and crusher is 3 yuan per gram, and the extraction time is 3 hours. In addition, risk and safety factors need to be considered. The direct chemical extraction method may face the risk of chemical leakage, while the chemical extraction method after biodegradation may have less impact on the environment. Finally, processing cost and safety need to be considered. According to the by-products or waste that may be generated during the biodegradation or physical pulverization process, the processing cost and safety can be evaluated. The chemical extraction method after biodegradation may produce some hazardous wastes that need to be properly treated, while the chemical extraction method after physical pulverization may produce less waste, and the processing cost and safety are relatively high.By comprehensively evaluating the economic benefits of various methods, including extraction efficiency, cost, processing time, risk, and safety factors, the nicotine extraction method with the best economic benefits can be determined. According to the evaluation results, the chemical extraction method after biodegradation may perform well in terms of extraction efficiency and cost, but there may be certain problems in terms of processing time and safety.
[0120] Step S106, obtain an index for comprehensive evaluation through the cigarette butt recycling efficiency and nicotine extraction efficiency, and determine whether there are any links where the cost is greater than the benefit or the environment is polluted. In some specific application scenarios, the following can be achieved:
[0121] Specifically, based on the concentration distribution of various chemical components in cigarette butt recycling and treatment, PCA was performed on the components of cigarette butts, and the key components were found to be nicotine, tar, and heavy metals. Among them, the nicotine concentration accounted for 60% of the total components, the tar concentration accounted for 30% of the total components, and the heavy metal concentration accounted for 10% of the total components. To determine the appropriate nicotine extraction method, two different extraction methods, Method A and Method B, were compared. It was found that the extraction efficiency of Method A was 80%, and the extraction efficiency of Method B was 60%. Based on the analysis results of extraction efficiency and stability, Method A was decided to be the appropriate nicotine extraction method. In the environmental impact analysis, it was observed that cigarette butt recycling and treatment had a long-term impact on the microbial population distribution. According to the experimental data, it was found that the number of microbial populations decreased by 30% after recycling and treatment. Based on this result, the extraction process was adjusted to adopt a more environmentally friendly treatment method to reduce the impact on the ecosystem. Three different treatment schemes, Scheme A, Scheme B, and Scheme C, were compared. It was found that Scheme A had the lowest environmental toxicity, so Scheme A was selected as the appropriate waste treatment scheme. Two different supply chain cost models, Model A and Model B, were compared. It was found that the cost of Model A was more closely related to the recycling efficiency, so Model A was selected as the appropriate supply chain cost model. A linear regression model was established based on the experimental data, and it was found that there was a positive correlation between the physical structure of cigarette butts and the extraction efficiency. For every 1% increase in the physical structure parameter, the extraction efficiency would increase by 5%. If the purity of nicotine after extraction was low or the applicability of downstream applications was poor, the extraction parameters were adjusted to increase the extraction time and temperature to improve the purity and applicability of nicotine. According to the experimental data, it was found that 10% of impurities might be introduced during the extraction process. Based on this result, screening and filtering measures were taken to reduce the content of impurities. If the greenhouse gas emissions during the recycling and extraction process exceeded the standard, according to the prediction results of the linear regression algorithm, the energy consumption and the use of emission sources in the process were reduced to lower the greenhouse gas emissions. The decision tree algorithm was used to optimize the recycling process of nicotine in cigarette butts, removing or optimizing the links where the cost was greater than the benefit or the environment was polluted. Specifically, based on the concentration distribution of various chemical components in cigarette butt recycling and treatment, PCA was performed on the components of cigarette butts, and the key components were found to be nicotine, tar, and heavy metals.

According to the experimental data, it was found that the number of microbial populations decreased by 30% after recycling and treatment.Based on this result, the extraction process was adjusted, and more environmentally friendly treatment methods were adopted to reduce the impact on the ecosystem. Three different treatment options were compared: Option A, Option B, and Option C. It was found that Option A had the lowest environmental toxicity, so Option A was selected as the appropriate waste treatment option. Two different supply chain cost models, Model A and Model B, were compared. It was found that the cost of Model A was more closely related to the recycling efficiency, so Model A was selected as the appropriate supply chain cost model. A linear regression model was established based on the experimental data, and it was found that there was a positive correlation between the physical structure of cigarette butts and the extraction efficiency. For every 1% increase in the physical structure parameter, the extraction efficiency would increase by 5%.

Based on this result, screening and filtering measures were taken to reduce the content of impurities. If the greenhouse gas emissions generated during the recycling and extraction processes exceeded the standard, according to the prediction results of the linear regression algorithm, the energy consumption and the use of emission sources in the process were reduced to lower the greenhouse gas emissions. The decision tree algorithm was used to optimize the recycling process of nicotine in cigarette butts by removing or optimizing the links where the cost was greater than the benefit or the environment was polluted.
[0122] Obtain data related to cigarette butt recycling to establish a decision tree algorithm and optimize the cigarette butt recycling process.
[0123] Specifically, relevant data on cigarette butt recycling are obtained, including nicotine extraction methods, ecosystem impacts, waste treatment methods, nicotine extraction purity, introduction of external impurities, and greenhouse gas emissions. According to the attributes of nicotine extraction methods, the dataset is divided into different extraction methods, such as water extraction and solvent extraction. For the dataset of each extraction method, the information gain of the ecosystem impact attribute is calculated, and the attribute with the largest information gain is selected as the splitting attribute. The ID3 algorithm can be used to calculate the information gain. According to the splitting results of the ecosystem impact attribute, the information gains of the waste treatment method, nicotine extraction purity, introduction of external impurities, and greenhouse gas emission attributes are calculated respectively, and the attribute with the largest information gain is selected as the splitting attribute. The splitting results of each attribute are recursively processed until all attributes are split or a predetermined stopping condition is reached, including reaching the maximum depth and the purity of the split dataset being high enough. According to the final decision tree model, predictions and decisions are made on the nicotine recycling in new cigarette butts. According to the attribute values of the new data, judgments are gradually made according to the conditions of the decision tree, and finally the process of cigarette butt recycling is determined.

According to the attribute values of the new data, judgments are gradually made according to the conditions of the decision tree, and finally the process of cigarette butt recycling is determined.
[0124] Step S107, when the nicotine extraction cost of a cigarette brand is greater than the revenue or there is environmental pollution, the cigarette butt recycling of the brand is excluded. In some specific application scenarios, the following can be achieved:
[0125] By evaluating the cost of nicotine extraction from a certain brand of cigarette butts, the resources and labor costs required in the collection, processing, and extraction processes are obtained. Evaluate the economic benefits brought by nicotine extraction, including sales revenue and profits, and judge the benefits of nicotine extraction. Evaluate the possible environmental pollution caused during the nicotine extraction process from this brand of cigarette butts, such as the discharge of wastewater, waste gas, and waste, and determine the environmental pollution during the nicotine extraction process. By evaluating the cost, economic benefits, and environmental pollution of nicotine extraction, if the cost of nicotine extraction from this brand of cigarette butts is greater than the benefits or there is environmental pollution, it is judged that the recycling of this brand of cigarette butts should be excluded; otherwise, continue with the recycling of this brand of cigarette butts. For example, the cost of extracting nicotine from Brand A cigarette butts is $200 per kilogram and $10 per hour per worker. In a month, workers work 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. Each worker can process 1,000 cigarette butts per hour. Each worker works 8 hours a day, so each worker can process 8,000 cigarette butts per day and 160,000 cigarette butts per month. The average weight of each cigarette butt is 2 grams, so each worker can process 32,000 grams of cigarette butts per month, which is 32 kilograms. Therefore, the labor cost of each worker per month is $1,600. At the same time, the resource cost of each worker per month is $6,400. So, the total cost of each worker per month is $8,000. The nicotine extracted per kilogram can be sold for $500, and each cigarette butt can extract an average of 1 gram of nicotine. Then the value of nicotine in each cigarette butt is 50 cents. The value of nicotine that each worker can extract per month is $16,000. The cigarette butts processed by each worker per day will produce 1 liter of wastewater, and the treatment cost per liter of wastewater is $1. The wastewater treatment cost of each worker per month is $20. Based on the above evaluation, the net income of each worker per month is $7,980. In summary, if the cost of nicotine extraction from this brand of cigarette butts per worker per month is greater than the benefits or there is environmental pollution, such as the cost per worker per month exceeding $8,000 or the wastewater treatment cost exceeding $20, then the recycling of this brand of cigarette butts should be excluded. Otherwise, the recycling of this brand of cigarette butts can continue.
[0126] Step S108, establish a model to analyze the nicotine content and cost consumption of cigarette butts after being processed in different links, and predict the best recycling process. As Figure 4 shown, the following can be achieved:
[0127] Obtain the material data of cigarette butts based on their characteristics, including size, shape, and material properties. Use different extraction methods, including solvent extraction and supercritical fluid extraction, to obtain the nicotine extraction efficiency under different extraction methods. Set different extraction conditions, including temperature, pressure, and time parameters, to obtain the nicotine extraction efficiency data and the time required for each processing step. Determine the initial nicotine content of cigarette butts before passing through different processing steps through sampling detection. Through each processing step, including biodegradation, dissolution, filtration, and concentration, obtain the change in nicotine content in cigarette butts and the time required for each processing step. Evaluate the equipment, material, and energy costs required for each processing step to determine the processing cost. Integrate the benefits of time and cost to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of each processing step. Establish a cigarette butt nicotine recovery model, obtain cigarette butt characteristic data, different extraction methods, extraction conditions, initial nicotine content, and processing step attributes, and predict the nicotine content after processing, the expected processing cost, and the optimal recovery process. For example, the solvent extraction method was selected to extract nicotine from cigarette butts. Ethyl acetate was selected as the solvent, the temperature was set at 40°C, the pressure was 1 atm, and the extraction time was 1 hour. Based on the characteristics of the cigarette butts, the size of the cigarette butts was measured to be 2 cm × 5 cm, the shape was cylindrical, and the material was paper. First, determine the initial nicotine content of the cigarette butts before passing through different processing steps through sampling detection. 100 of the recovered cigarette butts were sampled and the nicotine content was measured in the laboratory. On average, each cigarette butt was found to contain 1 mg of nicotine. The initial nicotine content was obtained as 1 mg / cigarette butt. Then, a solvent extraction experiment was conducted. 100 cigarette butts were placed in the solvent for extraction. After 1 hour of extraction, the nicotine content in the solution was measured to be 0.8 mg. Therefore, the nicotine extraction efficiency was 0.8 mg / 1 mg × 100% = 80%. Next, consider the equipment, material, and energy costs required for each processing step. Solvent extraction requires the use of a glass bottle as the extraction container, ethyl acetate as the solvent, and a heater to provide the required temperature. The total cost of equipment, materials, and energy is $100. It is also necessary to record the time required for each processing step. Solvent extraction requires 10 minutes to prepare and load the sample, 1 hour of extraction time, and 10 minutes to separate and collect the solution. Therefore, the total processing time is 80 minutes. Considering the benefits of time and cost comprehensively, the cost-effectiveness of solvent extraction can be evaluated. The cost per hour of work is $20, and the cost of solvent extraction can be calculated as follows: processing cost = time cost + equipment, material, and energy costs = (80 minutes / 60 minutes / hour) × $20 / hour + $100 = $333. Based on the cigarette butt characteristic data, extraction method, extraction conditions, initial nicotine content, and processing step attributes, a cigarette butt nicotine recovery model can be established to predict the nicotine content under different processing processes, the expected processing cost, and determine the optimal recovery process.
[0128] Construct a cigarette butt nicotine recovery model and determine the nicotine recovery process based on the nicotine content of cigarette butts.
[0129] Specifically, according to the cigarette butt characteristic data, such as cigarette butt size, weight, and material, correlation analysis is used to determine the impact on nicotine recovery. Data from 100 cigarette butt samples were collected and cleaned and normalized. Next, a regression model was established to predict the nicotine recovery rate. A linear regression model was selected, where the nicotine recovery rate was used as the target variable, and the cigarette butt size, weight, and material were used as feature variables. The data were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set. The training set contained 70 samples, and the validation set contained 30 samples. The regression model was trained using the training set, and the R-squared value of the regression model was used to evaluate the model performance. The R-squared value of the model was 85, indicating that the model could explain 85% of the variability in the nicotine recovery rate. According to the model evaluation results, the model could be optimized. Feature selection methods were used to determine the features most relevant to the nicotine recovery rate. After feature selection, only the cigarette butt size and weight were retained as feature variables, and the model parameters were adjusted. According to the optimized model, the cigarette butt characteristic data could be used to predict the nicotine content in the cigarette butt. There was a new cigarette butt sample with a size of 3 cm and a weight of 5 g. According to the model, the predicted nicotine recovery rate of this cigarette butt was 70%. According to the predicted nicotine content results, the recovery process and treatment method could be combined to predict the cost after treatment. The recovery process required 1000 liters of solvent, and the energy consumption of the recovery equipment was 500 kWh. Based on these data, the cost after treatment was calculated to be $5000. According to the predicted nicotine content and the predicted treatment cost results, the cost-benefit ratio between the recovery cost and the nicotine content was calculated, and the process with the highest benefit ratio was selected to achieve efficient nicotine recovery. According to the cigarette butt characteristic data, such as cigarette butt size, weight, and material, correlation analysis is used to determine the impact on nicotine recovery. Data from 100 cigarette butt samples were collected and cleaned and normalized. Next, a regression model was established to predict the nicotine recovery rate. A linear regression model was selected, where the nicotine recovery rate was used as the target variable, and the cigarette butt size, weight, and material were used as feature variables. The data were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set. The training set contained 70 samples, and the validation set contained 30 samples. The regression model was trained using the training set, and the R-squared value of the regression model was used to evaluate the model performance. The R-squared value of the model was 85, indicating that the model could explain 85% of the variability in the nicotine recovery rate. According to the model evaluation results, the model could be optimized. Feature selection methods were used to determine the features most relevant to the nicotine recovery rate. After feature selection, only the cigarette butt size and weight were retained as feature variables, and the model parameters were adjusted. According to the optimized model, the cigarette butt characteristic data could be used to predict the nicotine content in the cigarette butt. There was a new cigarette butt sample with a size of 3 cm and a weight of 5 g. According to the model, the predicted nicotine recovery rate of this cigarette butt was 70%. According to the predicted nicotine content results, the recovery process and treatment method could be combined to predict the cost after treatment.The recycling process consumes 1000 liters of solvent, and the energy consumption of the recycling equipment is 500 kWh. Based on these data, the processed cost can be calculated to be $5000. According to the prediction of nicotine content and the prediction result of processing cost, calculate the cost-benefit ratio between the recycling cost and nicotine content, and select the process with the highest benefit ratio to achieve efficient nicotine recycling.
[0130] In summary, the present invention discloses a method for tobacco waste conversion and monitoring. Through the processing of cigarette image data, automatic identification and separation of cigarette butts are realized. Further, by identifying the cigarette butt images, the brand of each cigarette butt and the corresponding cigarette type are determined. According to the type of cigarette butt and nicotine content, calculate the nicotine recovery content and efficiency of various cigarette butts, and select the most efficient nicotine extraction method. Considering the cigarette butt recycling efficiency and nicotine extraction efficiency comprehensively, conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether there are links where the cost is greater than the benefit or the environment is polluted. When the nicotine extraction cost of certain cigarette brands is greater than the benefit or there is environmental pollution, exclude the recycling of cigarette butts of these brands. Finally, establish a model to analyze the nicotine content and cost consumed after the treatment of cigarette butts in different links, in order to predict the best recycling process to achieve the whole-process analysis and optimal treatment of cigarette recycling.
