Application of Neural Network in Optimization of Chemical Process

Artificial neural network (ANN) has been widely used due to its strong nonlinear mapping ability, fault tolerance and self-learning ability. This article summarizes the development history of artificial neural networks, introduces three common neural network types, BP neural network, RBF neural network and convolutional neural network, and focuses on the practical application in chemical process optimization, especially the results achieved in multi-objective control optimization and process parameter improvement.
