乙苯催化脱氢制苯乙烯生产过程的机理建模及优化

By the principles of kinetics and conservation of energy, we solve the related differential equations and develop a first principle model for the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene in an adiabatic radial flow reactor. This model can be used to predict the features of the dehydrogenation system. The constraints to the practical process are formulated for simulating and online optimizing the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene using a constraint multivariable complex algorithm. Simulation results show that the obtained model can reveal the reactions in operation, and thus it is applicable to the implementation of advanced control and optimization.
