“…Mathematical modeling makes it possible to study the properties of objects on mathematical models, predict optimal schemes and operating modes of commercial plants, and develop automated control systems for technological processes. Mathematical modeling also allows the scaling up of the process and optimizing critical parameters at the design stage of a semi-commercial plant under non-isothermal conditions in the reactor [27].…”

The presented work is devoted to isocyanate synthesis by the thermal decomposition of carbamates model. The work describes the existing isocyanate-obtaining processes and the main problems in the study of isocyanate synthesis by the thermal decomposition of carbamates, which can be solved using mathematical and computer models. Experiments with carbamates of various structures were carried out. After processing the experimental data, the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor for isocyanate synthesis by the thermal decomposition of carbamates were determined. Then, a mathematical model of the reactor for the thermal decomposition of carbamates using the COMSOL Multiphysics software was developed. For this model, computational experiments under different conditions were carried out. It was shown that the calculation results correspond to the experimental ones, so the suggested model can be used in the design of the equipment for isocyanate synthesis by the thermal decomposition of carbamates.

“…The superstructure is optimized for minimum required energy and then, economic evaluation of the options is used to select the most profitable process. Other authors (Hosseini and Shah, 2009;Corsano, Iribarren, Montagna, Aguirre, & González Suárez, 2006) have also addressed the problem of ethanol production through mathematical programming formulations.…”

“…The treatment of this residue consists of processing it for producing yeast for cattle feeding. In a previous article Corsano et al (2006), presented a mathematical model for the optimal synthesis, design and operation of an ethanol plant considering the environmental impact caused by the process waste disposals. They analyzed several plant designs and operation scenarios for different disposal policies.…”

In this paper, a heuristic method is presented for the simultaneous solution of the synthesis and design problems of batch plants. A detailed nonlinear program (NLP) model is developed that considers a superstructure to represent all the configuration options for the plants. Usually, similar works in this area assume as a hard constraint the use of single-product campaigns. In this work, mixed campaigns are introduced to pose problems where this is a significant condition. Specific scheduling constraints are formulated, and a resolution strategy is presented to solve the problem. This formulation is valid for multiproduct batch plants and a special type of multipurpose plants where products follow different production paths sharing some but not all the stages. The approach is implemented for a Torula yeast, brandy, and bakery yeast production plant. To assess the method, different mixed campaigns are modeled. Economical and synthesis, design, and operational results are also reported.
