In this study, each of the catalysts was evaluated under many different conditions and the best BD yield was almost exclusively obtained at 400 °C and 0.09 of 𝑃 !"#$ /𝑃 %& ; hence the yield at this condition set was adopted to compute the fitness of each catalyst. A generational change was implemented by applying genetic operators such as crossover, mutation, random, and elitism. In the crossover, genotype values were randomly inherited from either of two selected parents, while the mutation was performed on one selected parent by changing the total loading between 1-100% with a 10% probability or by swapping the percentages of 2 randomly selected elements.
