PID parameter tables for control of time delayed systems for minimized ITAE and IAE criterions
In this publication, parameter sets for PID controllers are presented, which can be used to control systems with time-delayed stable step responses. These parameter sets minimize the quality criteria in the time domain, IAE, ITAE and ISE. They also take into account the controller output limitation, which is relevant in practice. The parameter sets are scalable with the time constant and the static gain of the system. Therefore they can be used to control all systems with a time delay behavior.

Circular Plastics Technologies
While plastics offer undeniable benefits, their exponential growth in production has raised concerns about resource depletion and pollution. Efforts to address the end-of-life challenges of plastics have been hindered by low recycling rates and inadequate waste management systems. Only a fraction of plastic waste is recycled globally, with a significant portion ending up in landfills or polluting natural environments. The persistence of plastic waste, coupled with its widespread contamination of oceans, freshwater systems, and terrestrial habitats, underscores the urgent need for solutions to mitigate its environmental impact. In response to these challenges, emerging circular plastics technologies, particularly chemical recycling, offer promising avenues for transforming plastic waste into valuable resources. Chemical recycling methods, including pyrolysis, depolymerization, and open-loop recycling, present opportunities to break down plastics into fuels, chemicals, and monomers, thus closing the loop on plastic production and consumption. This book provides an overview of emerging chemical recycling technologies, focusing on advancements in pyrolysis, depolymerization, and open-loop recycling processes. Highlighting notable technological innovations and industry efforts to commercialize these methods, the book serves as a guide to understanding the potential of chemical recycling in addressing the plastic waste crisis.
