The Fuzzy Experimental Multiobjective Optimization of the Electrochemical Reduction Process of Maleic Acid to Succinic Acid

Abstract

The fuzzy experimental multiobjective optimization (FEMO) of the electrochemical reduction of maleic acid (I) to succinic acid is presented. As partial criteria the yield of succinic acid (II) were taken and the amount of wastes obtained. The objective function was presented in the form the ideal points. The values of weights of the partial criteria form the ideal points. The values of weights and ideal points were presented in a fuzzy form. As polyoptimal such a solution was assumed for which the yield of succinic acid (II) was 87% and the amount of wastes was 0.14 kg H2SO4/kg product.
