Abstract

In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is designed to model an extraction process that uses a supercritical fluid as solvent. Two approaches are used in the ANN training, which they differ in the strategy that was used to complement the experimental data that were collected during extraction procedures of useful compositions for the pharmaceutical industry. While the first methodology involves the interpolation of the data during an operation of extraction, the second one uses pseudo experiments generated from the real data and of the incorporation of qualitative characteristics of the process.
