Research on Ethanol Coupling to Prepare C4 Olefins Based on BP Neural Network and Cluster Analysis

Abstract

Ethanol, as a clean energy source, is an ideal raw material for the preparation of C4 olefins, but there are few studies on the preparation of C4 olefins by the coupling of ethanol. This research is based on the data from Question B of the 2021 Chinese Contemporary Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling. The researchers firstly perform data interpolation and visualization processing on the original data. Secondly, based on the two-dimensional visualization analysis, we cluster the different catalyst combinations; divide the influencing factors into temperature, Co/SiO2 and HAP loading ratio, Co loading, and ethanol concentration; and construct a quaternary linear regression equation that affects ethanol conversion rate and C4 olefin selectivity. Finally, according to the three-dimensional spatial visualization analysis and using the BP neural network model training data, we obtain that under the conditions of using loading method I, catalyst combination type 200 mg 0.5 wt% Co/SiO2-200 mg HAP-ethanol concentration 0.9 ml/min and temperature 450°C, the yield of C4 olefins can reach the maximum. This study provides new research ideas and methods for the preparation of C4 olefins from ethanol.

Intelligent Application of Raw Material Supply Chain Planning System Based on Genetic Algorithm

“…Coding Design. This model will use three layers of coding: (i) the selection of the least supplier in layer 1 (the 118 suppliers solved in the 5.2 model) will be coded from 0 to 1, with 0 when the supplier is not selected and 1 when the supplier is selected; (ii) the most economical ordering scheme for layer 2, which is integer coded for the supplier's supply, and each floating point number represents the supplier's supply during the week [32]; and (iii) the layer 3 loss is minimal, that is, the forwarder's choice is 0-1 coded, when a supplier chooses, 0 if the forwarder is not selected, 1 when the forwarder is selected [33].…”

Prediction and Risk Assessment of Extreme Weather Events Based on Gumbel Copula Function

“…In wavelet neural networks, the choice of the number of hidden layer units is also critical. The number of hidden units is too small, and the entire network cannot be well [30].…”

Analysis of Digital Life Effect of Residents’ Trust Based on Multivariate Discrete Choice Model

“…Thus, the impact of digital life on the trust of rural residents is not significant. Due to the development of the Internet and the digital economy, urban residents can obtain more benefits from digital life, and their social capital will be improved, which will naturally bestow a positive effect on trust [28][29][30][31].…”
