Abstract Slurry polymerization processes using Zeigler–Natta catalysts are most widely used for the production of polyethylene due to their several advantages over other processes. Optimal operating conditions are required to obtain the maximum productivity of the polymer at minimal cost while ensuring operational safety in the slurry phase ethylene polymerization reactors. The main focus of this multi-objective optimization study is to obtain the optimal operating conditions corresponding to the maximization of productivity and yield at a minimal operating cost. The tuned reactor model has been optimized. The single objective optimization (SOO) and multi-objective optimization (MOO) problems are solved using non-dominating sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). A complete range of Pareto optimal solutions are obtained to obtain the maximum productivity and polymer yield at different input costs.

Vinyl Propionate

At present, the polymer industry has gained increasing importance due to the versatility of its properties, as well as the impact they have on the environment. The present investigation provides the determination of optimal operating conditions for the polymerization of styrene and vinyl propionate in a Batch reactor, as well as the copolymerization of styrene with propionate monomers by the process of emulsion via free radicals, allowing to observe the variations with respect to Reaction yields and molecular weights. Another important factor is the activation of the initiator so that the polymerization process begins within each of the micelles. Likewise, it was found that, in the copolymerizations, there are considerable variations with respect to reaction yields and molecular weights as the concentrations are modified. In addition, it was found that there are higher yields in styrene polymerizations per solution than emulsion.

Quinone Profile

The population dynamics of microbes in the biological wastewater treatment processes such as a submerged biofilter was investigated to obtain basic information to determine the optimal operating conditions. The effects of coexistence of biodegradable substances such as glucose and peptone on the acclimation of microbes in the biofilm to hard chemicals such as acrylonitrile (AN), which is poorly biodegradable and a volatile substance, was investigated on the basis of the respiratory quinone profile. Kinetic study of the removal of AN in the course of acclimation of microbes was investigated using a laboratory-scale submerged biofilter as well. It was ascertained that the acclimation of the microbes to AN was accelerated by coexistence of biodegradable substances, and the microbial phase after acclimation differed from those with the coexistence of glucose and peptone. The quinone profiles in the acclimation showed that Brevibacterium sp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, of which the predominant quinone of the respiratory chain is menaquinone-8(H2) and ubiquinone-9, respectively, multiplied selectively in the acclimation course without and with the coexistence of glucose and peptone, respectively. It was also made clear that there were few kinds and number of protozoa and metazoa in the biofilter treating the wastewater containing AN.
