To carry out the multi-objective optimization for two objectives such as conversion and ethylene selectivity, the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was used. The Pareto optimum set was obtained successfully and finally the effect of the decision variable was discussed.     UR - https://www.ijche.com/article_15181.html L1 - https://www.ijche.com/article_15181_6ed29b915b295dc3d690842e753085fe.pdf ER -
