A Systematic Technique for Kinetic Parameter Estimation in Heterogeneous Solid Catalytic Reaction Networks with Applications
Abstract
Estimating kinetic parameters in heterogeneous solid catalytic reaction networks is known to being a diffi cult task. This
work aims at proposing a down-to-earth methodology to obtain kinetic parameters from numerical experiments. We present
three techniques: a multivariable linear regression model, a stochastic metamodeling, and an optimized Kriging metamodel
connected to a least-squares method. We consolidate the methodology in two diff erent applications. The fi rst one is a process
with few components in two reactions from where it was possible to acquire the reaction rate equations that fi tted literature
data. The second one is a complex industrial reaction network. The results showed that even if the candidate proposed reaction
rate equations do not fi t the experiments, it is possible to construct a mathematical metamodel that conforms to the behavior
of the components. Statistical tests showed that in both cases the proposed models successfully fi t the experimental data.
