Saline wastewater treatment by bioelectrochemical process (BEC) based on Al-electrocoagulation and halophilic bacteria: optimization using ANN with new approach.

Environmental technology
In the present study, a bioelectrochemical reactor (BEC) was utilized to treat two types of real saline produced water (PW). BEC was designed based on the combination of electrocoagulation (EC) process with halophilic microorganisms, and it was asses...

Improving predictions and understanding of primary and ultimate biodegradation rates with machine learning models.

The Science of the total environment
This study aimed to develop machine learning based quantitative structure biodegradability relationship (QSBR) models for predicting primary and ultimate biodegradation rates of organic chemicals, which are essential parameters for environmental risk...

Anaerobic condition induces a viable but nonculturable state of the PCB-degrading Bacteria Rhodococcus biphenylivorans TG9.

The Science of the total environment
Significant microbial removal of highly chlorinated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) requires the cooperation of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. During the sequencing process of anaerobic dechlorination and aerobic degradation of PCBs, aerobic degrad...

Microbial Decolorization of Triazo Dye, Direct Blue 71: An Optimization Approach Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

BioMed research international
The release of wastewater from textile dyeing industrial sectors is a huge concern with regard to pollution as the treatment of these waters is truly a challenging process. Hence, this study investigates the triazo bond Direct Blue 71 (DB71) dye deco...

Gas-phase trichloroethylene removal by Rhodococcus opacus using an airlift bioreactor and its modeling by artificial neural network.

Chemosphere
This study evaluated the biological removal of trichloroethylene (TCE) by Rhodococcus opacus using airlift bioreactor under continuous operation mode. The effect of inlet TCE concentration in the range 0.12-2.34 g m on TCE removal has studied for 55 ...

Effects of corn straw on dissipation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and potential application of backpropagation artificial neural network prediction model for PAHs bioremediation.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
In order to provide a viable option for remediation of PAHs-contaminated soils, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effect of corn straw amendment (1%, 2%, 4% or 6%, w/w) on dissipation of aged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ...
