Abstract
Machine Learning (ML) models, especially, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are widely used in chemical processes modeling and also have been used for vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) determination. Despite, a comprehensive review for this topic was never written. In this review article we intend to present to the interested reader a review regarding the technical details of ANN modeling of VLE for binary mixtures, such as: direct or indirect VLE estimation, ANN type, inputs and outputs, training algorithm, activation functions, objective function, target mixtures, number of mixtures, data division, best structure found and main results. Based on the compilation of results obtained from selected articles, an evolution of research in the application of ML for modeling VLE of binary mixtures was provided. Within this context, we could show that most of the studies considered mixtures with one component remaining fixed, containing 8–10 mixtures on average. Also, that the best results were obtained by using linear activation function in the output layer and one hidden layer. Finally, with the analysis of the technical details, this work also presented the limitations in the field and opportunities for future research.
期刊介绍:
ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
