This article presents the results for the optimization of the geraniol isomerization process with the use of alum - the dodecahydrate mineral of aluminum-potassium sulfate as a catalyst. For this purpose, the Entropy / VIKOR optimization method was used. Three parameters were subjected to the process: process temperature, catalyst concentration, and reaction time. To determine the most favorable process parameters, the VIKOR method was used with the determination of weights based on entropy. The VIKOR method was used only as a numerical tool that was used to calculate the most important parameters of the process. The selected optimal parameters allowed to gain a high conversion of geraniol and selectivity of the transformation to individual reaction products. |
