Simulation and multi-objective optimization of the dimethyl carbonate production process.

ABSTRACT: Greenhouse gases such as CO₂ are considered effective materials in global warming due to their high absorptivity. So, lowering atmospheric CO₂ is one of the most practical strategies. Utilizing carbon dioxide in chemical processes is an applicable method. In this study, Aspen HYSYS 10 was used to investigate how carbon dioxide can be added to the process of dimethyl carbonate production, and the affective parameters of the process, including temperature, residence time, feed ratio, and recycle ratio, were evaluated. It was observed that the production of DMC grew as temperature rose. The simulation results also revealed that a maximum conversion of roughly 8% was attained in the MeOH/EC. Additionally, boosting the recycle ratio is detrimental, and the impact of temper
