Recognizing the state of aerobic granular sludge over its life-cycle in a continuous-flow membrane bioreactor with an artificial intelligence approach.

Journal of environmental management
The continuous-flow aerobic granular sludge-membrane bioreactor (AGS-MBR) system represents an efficient and sustainable technology for wastewater treatment. AGS, a spherical or ellipsoidal granular sludge formed through microbial self-aggregation un...

Chitosan-based adsorbents for remediation of toxic dyes from wastewater: A review on adsorption mechanism, reusability, machine learning based modeling and future perspectives.

International journal of biological macromolecules
The disposal of recalcitrant dyes in aquatic environments from various industrial sectors is a threat to both the plant and animal kingdom. The presence of dyes in various water bodies undermines the availability of uncontaminated drinking water and ...

Predicting Membrane Fouling of Submerged Membrane Bioreactor Wastewater Treatment Plants Using Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Membrane fouling remains a significant challenge in the operation of membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Plant operators rely heavily on observations of filtration performance from noisy sensor data to assess membrane fouling conditions and lab-based protoc...

Prediction of total phosphorus removal in hybrid constructed wetlands: a machine learning approach for rice mill wastewater treatment.

Water environment research : a research publication of the Water Environment Federation
Efficient prediction of pollutant concentrations in constructed wetlands is critical for optimizing treatment performance, yet existing methodologies often fail to account for the influence of meteorological conditions and flow rate variations in rea...

Comparative analysis of supervised learning models for effluent quality prediction in wastewater treatment plants.

PloS one
Effluent quality prediction is critical for optimizing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operations, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting environmental sustainability. This study evaluates the performance of five supervised learning models-A...

Validation of wastewater data using artificial intelligence tools and the evaluation of their performance regarding annotator agreement.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
