Machine learning has proven effective for predicting properties of pure compounds from molecular structures, but mixtures, in particular oil fractions, are rarely dealt with. At best, the bulk estimated based on compound properties, linear mixing rules, and a reconstructed composition feedstock. As detailed such mixtures is well determined often approximated by lumps, accuracy can be improved. In this work, we demonstrate naphtha case study our property estimation method. First, PIONA...

Chemical engineers heavily rely on precise knowledge of physicochemical properties to model chemical processes. Despite the growing popularity deep learning, it is only rarely applied for property prediction due data scarcity and limited accuracy compounds in industrially-relevant areas space. Herein, we present a geometric learning framework predicting gas- liquid-phase based novel quantum datasets comprising 124,000 molecules. Our findings reveal that necessity quantum-chemical information...

Computer-aided synthesis has received much attention in recent years. It is a challenging topic itself, due to the high dimensionality of chemical and reaction space. becomes even more when aim suggest syntheses that can be performed continuous flow. Though flow offers many potential benefits, not all reactions are suited operated continuously. In this work, three machine learning models have been developed provide an assessment whether given may benefit from operation, what likelihood...

Accurate thermochemistry estimation of polycyclic molecules is crucial for kinetic modeling chemical processes that use renewable and alternative feedstocks. In model generators, molecular properties are estimated rapidly with group additivity, but this method known to have limitations structures. This issue has been resolved in our work by combining a geometry-based representation deep neural network trained on ab initio data. Each molecule transformed into probabilistic vector from its...
