Identification of Kinetics of Direct Esterification Reactions for PET Synthesis Based on a Genetic Algorithm
Kim JY, Kim HY, Yeo YK
In this study we propose a method to identify the kinetics of direction esterification reactions for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) based on a genetic algorithm. The reaction rate parameters could be identified successfully by using a genetic algorithm and plant data. The effects of key operating variables (temperature, pressure, monomer feed ratio and residence time) on the reactor performance were also investigated. It was observed that the reactor performance strongly depends on the degree of dissolution of the solid terephthalic acid (TPA) in the reaction mixtures.
Keywords: Direct Esterification; Polymerization Reactor Modeling; Reaction Rate Parameters; Genetic Algorithm
