Abstract
The transition to renewable energy sources, such as biogas, requires purification processes to separate methane from carbon dioxide, with adsorption-based methods being widely employed. Accurate simulations of these systems, governed by coupled PDEs, ODEs, and algebraic equations, critically depend on precise parameter determination. While traditional approaches often result in significant errors or complex procedures, optimization algorithms provide a more efficient and reliable means of parameter estimation, simplifying the process, improving simulation accuracy, and enhancing the understanding of these systems. This work introduces an Artificial Intelligence-based methodology for estimating the isotherm parameters of a mathematical phenomenological model for fixed-bed experiments. The separation of CO2 and CH4 is used as case study. This work develops an algorithm for parameter estimation for the system's mathematical model. The results show that the validated model has a close fit with experimental results.
