abstract

kinetic modeling is an important issue, whose objective is the accurate determination of the rates of various reactions taking place in a reacting system. this issue is a pivotal element in the process design and development particularly for novel processes which are based on reactions taking place between various types of species. the fischer tropsch (ft) reactions have been used as the kinetic modeling bench mark. general kinetic models for ft, water-gas-shift (wgs) and overall rates based on langmuir-hinshelwood-hougen-watson (lhhw) type have been considered and their optimum parameters have been obtained by genetic algorithms. the study shows the obtained model outperforms the other alternative models both in generality and accuracy. due to flexibility and generality of genetic algorithms, it seems that ga is a useful technique with lots of potentials in determination of optimum kinetic model corresponding to a set of complex reactions.

Modeling and Optimization of Fixed-Bed Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Using Genetic Algorithm

  In this paper, modeling and optimization of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is considered in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor using an industrial Fe-Cu-K catalyst. A one dimensional pseudo-homogenous plug flow model without axial dispersion is developed for converting syngas to heavy hydrocarbons. The effects of temperature, pressure, H2 to CO ratio in feed stream, and CO molar flow on the mass flow r...

Application of Genetic Algorithm in Kinetic Modeling and Reaction Mechanism Studies

This study is focused on the development of a systematic computational approach which implements Genetic Algorithm (GA) to find the optimal rigorous kinetic models.A general Kinetic model for hydrogenolysis of dibenzothiophene (DBT) based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood type has been obtained from open literature. This model consists of eight continuous parameters(e.g., Arrhenus  and Van't...

Kinetic Study of Fischer Tropsch Synthesis over co Precipitated Iron-Cerium Catalyst

The kinetic of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over a co-precipitated Fe-Ce catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed micro reactor. Experimental conditions were varied as follow: reaction pressure 1-15bar, H¬¬¬2/CO feed ratio of 1-3 and space velocity of 3600-5400 h-1 at the temperature range of 270-310°C. 4 models according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) type rate equation were der...

A Neuro-Fuzzy Algorithm for Modeling of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis over a Bimetallic Co/Ni/Al2O3 Catalyst

An alumina supported Co/Ni catalyst was prepared by sol-gel procedure to study the catalytic behavior during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a fixed-bed reactor. The effect of CO conversion (10-50%) on hydrocarbon product distribution (CH4, C5+ and C2-C4 olefin selectivities) was studied. Selectivity for CH4 decreased, while those of C5+<...
