Abstract

This work employed a hybrid approach combining experiments, numerical simulation, and genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the non-dispersive solvent extraction (NDSX) process of H2O2. A numerical simulation model with high accuracy was developed. The relative error between the simulation results and experimental data was controlled within 2.2 %. The results indicated the velocity of lumen side and temperature are the key factors affecting the extraction efficiency. The non-dominated sorting GA-II algorithm coupled with the numerical simulation was used to optimize the NDSX process. The Pareto optimal design of the NDSX process can be achieved within the water outlet concentration range of 13.44 to 550.2 kg m-3. Intensification factors of NDSX versus extraction towers are evaluated to be 17.9 and 13.2. In summary, this work provides a design framework for NDSX of H2O2, which is expected to simultaneously promote the mass transfer efficiency and safety of the H2O2 separation process.
