CISTERNAS, L. A.; GUERRERO, Ch. J.  y  MELO, J. A.. Synthesis of chemically induced separation sequences using fuzzy heuristic based system. Lat. Am. appl. res. [online]. 2002, vol.32, n.2, pp. 177-182. ISSN 0327-0793.

Chemical induced separation is used in a number of instances to accomplish difficult separations; however, there is a lack of information in the literature. In the present work, a fuzzy heuristic system for separation sequence synthesis using chemical induced separation is constructed. The construction of the present rule based system is based on the previous work of Huang and Fan (1990) in which knowledge-based system has been applied to physically induced separation sequence synthesis. Although the methodology proposed here, involves the use of declarative and procedural knowledge the emphasis is done on selection and sequence of chemical induced separation. A simple example is included to illustrate the procedure.
