BACKGROUND: The use of insufficiently treated wastewater or Faecal sludge in agriculture raises concerns because of the pathogen content. Helminth eggs (HE) are one of the most crucial pathogens for ensuring public health and safety. Widely used disi...
Anaerobic biodegradation rates (half-lives) of organic chemicals are pivotal for environmental risk assessment and remediation. Traditional experimental evaluation, constrained by prolonged, oxygen-free conditions, struggles to keep pace with emergin...
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is essential in biological treatment, yet its specific roles remain incompletely understood. This study introduces a machine learning (ML) framework to interpret DOM biodegradability in the anaerobic digestion (AD) of s...
Bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are complex, high-molecular-weight polymer mixtures that play a critical role in pore clogging, foulants adhesion, and fouling layer formation during membrane filtration, owing to their adhesive properti...
Biogas yield in anaerobic digestion (AD) involves continuous and complex biological reactions. The traditional linear models failed to quantitatively assess the interactive effects of these factors on AD performance. To further explore the internal r...
Based on operational data collected over 1.5 years from four full-scale dry anaerobic digesters used for kitchen food waste treatment, this study adopted eight typical machine learning algorithms to distinguish the best biogas prediction model and to...
Anaerobic digestion (AD), which relies on a complex microbial consortium for efficient biogas generation, is a promising avenue for renewable energy production and organic waste treatment. However, understanding and optimising AD processes are challe...
This study explores the application of various machine learning (ML) models for the real-time prediction of the FOS/TAC ratio in microbial electrolysis cell anaerobic digestion (MEC-AD) systems using data collected during a 160-day trial treating bre...
Microplastics (MPs) present significant challenges for anaerobic digestion (AD) processes used in energy recovery from contaminated organic waste. Given that optimal AD conditions vary widely across studies when MPs are present, a robust predictive m...
Nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) neural network models were used to forecast the time-series profiles of anaerobic digestion-elutriated phase treatment (ADEPT). Experimental data from the operation of the pilot plant and lab-scale reactor we...
