AbstractThe cost sensitivity analysis of a chemical process was carried out through a sequence of three stages, using three different software applications. In the first stage an alkylation process was optimized with GAMSÂŽ software, the objective function being the profit. This optimization was repeated for the values of five different costs in the frame of a factorial experiment. In the next stage, the objective function-costs dependence was quantified with an artificial neural network, obtain...

AbstractThe alkylation of light hydrocarbons leads to produce the high octane number gasoline blending components. The homogeneouscatalytic alkylation reaction is usually carried out at low temperature in the presence of H2SO4 and HF. The use of heterogeneouscatalysis for this reaction is a promising solution for the replacement of hazardous acids to environmentally friendly zeolitecatalyst. The alkylation reaction of isobutane with 1-butene was studied on selected zeolite catalysts. The objecti...
