Effect of Caustic Addition in Epoxy Polymerization Process: A Single and Multi‐Objective Evolutionary Approach

Summary: An epoxy polymerization process is studied insemi-batch mode. Caustic has a very critical inﬂuence onepoxy polymerization process, which is modeled as a set ofhighly nonlinear coupled ODE’s (ordinary differential equa-tions).Owingtothehighlycomplicated,nonlineardomainofanalysis,‘‘DifferentialEvolution(DE)’’and‘‘GeneticAlgo-rithm(GA)’’areusedasoptimizationtoolstoidentifytheM n -PDI Pareto set and study the best operating strategy withrespecttoNaOHaddition.Themomentofvariousoligomericcomponents during the semi-batch polymerization is alsopresentedforabetterunderstandingoftheprocess.Thisstudydemonstrates the potential of evolutionary optimizationalgorithm to identify various operating philosophies of asemi-batch epoxy reactor for a targeted product quality.Pareto plot for epoxy polymerization process with inter-mediate NaOH additionvarying from 0.0 to 1.0 kmol m 3 .
