“…Considering the characteristics of the molecular composition of petroleum and the current level of analysis, accurate quantitative analysis of the molecular composition of petroleum is still unattainable [8,9]. Therefore, the key to achieving molecular management in oil refining is molecular reconstruction, a method or model to predict petroleum fraction distribution at molecular-level through optimization, with the goal that the representative compositions have the same macroscopic properties as the original oil [4,10,11]. In order to improve the efficiency of molecular reconstruction, fast physical property prediction methods are indispensable, of which quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) is one of the most typical [12].…”

In the context of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, molecular management has become a focus of the petrochemical industry. The key to achieving molecular management is molecular reconstruction, which relies on rapid and accurate calculation of oil properties. Focusing on naphtha, we proposed a novel property prediction model construction procedure (MDs-NP) employing molecular dynamics simulations for property collections and gamma distribution from real analytical data for calculating mole fractions of simulation mixtures. We calculated 348 sets of mixture properties data in the range of 273K to 300K by molecular dynamics simulations. Molecular feature extraction was based on molecular descriptors. In addition to descriptors based on open-source toolkits (RDKit and Mordred), we designed 12 naphtha knowledge (NK) descriptors with a focus on naphtha. Three machine learning algorithms (support vector regression, extreme gradient boosting and artificial neural network) were applied and compared to establish models for the prediction of the density and viscosity of naphtha. Mordred and NK descriptors + support vector regression algorithm achieved the best performance for density. The selected RDKFp and NK descriptors + artificial neural network algorithm achieved the best performance for viscosity. Using ablation studies, T, P_w and CC(C)C are three effective descriptors in NK that can improve the performance of the property prediction models. MDs–NP has the potential to be extended to more properties as well as more-complex petroleum systems. The models from MDs–NP can be used for rapid molecular reconstruction to facilitate construction of data-driven models and intelligent transformation of petrochemical processes.
