摘要

Glycerol tri-isovalerate presents promising performance as new PVC plasticizer. To establish the conditions under which it must be produced on an industrial scale, a model of the process was developed and adjusted using experimental results and parametric identification with Fisher%26apos;s maximum likelihood method. Tests were designed to study the influence of temperature, pressure, molar ratio and catalyst concentration on conversion. Also, a multiobjective optimization of the production conditions, in Pareto%26apos;s sense, was performed using an evolutionary algorithm. Furthermore, a decision aid tool based on two different functions was utilized with the technique MACBETH to select the conditions for scale-up.
