ANN-assisted comprehensive screening of silica gel-alunite composite sorbent system for efficient adsorption of toxic nickel ions: Batch and continuous mode water treatment applications.

Chemosphere
Through batch and fixed-bed column operations, nickel ions were extracted from a contaminated aqueous media by adsorption onto silica gel-immobilized alunite (Sg@Aln). A three-layer backward-propagating network with an ideal pattern of 5-10-1 and 4-1...

Design optimization and predictive modeling for TSS in mega surface WWTPs: A machine learning approach.

Journal of environmental management
Surface wastewater originates from various sources, including domestic, commercial, and industrial activities, and contains a mix of organic and inorganic wastes along with suspended and dissolved solids that require effective treatment. This study p...

Predicting biomass conversion and COD removal in wastewater treatment by phototrophic bacteria with interpretable machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) excel in wastewater treatment by removing pollutants and generating biomass but are challenging to optimize due to complex operational and environmental interactions. Neural Ordinary Differential Equations, Elastic Net, ...

Attention-based deep learning models for predicting anomalous shock of wastewater treatment plants.

Water research
Quickly grasping the time-consuming water quality indicators (WQIs) such as total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) of influent is an essential prerequisite for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to prompt respond to sudden shock loads. Soft d...

An exploration of RSM, ANN, and ANFIS models for methylene blue dye adsorption using Oryza sativa straw biomass: a comparative approach.

Scientific reports
This study focused on simulating the adsorption-based separation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye utilising Oryza sativa straw biomass (OSSB). Three distinct modelling approaches were employed: artificial neural networks (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inferen...

Multi-modal learning-based algae phyla identification using image and particle modalities.

Water research
Algal blooms in freshwater, which are exacerbated by urbanization and climate change, pose significant challenges in the water treatment process. These blooms affect water quality and treatment efficiency. Effective identification of algal proliferat...

Predicting few disinfection byproducts in the water distribution systems using machine learning models.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Concerns regarding disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water persist, with measurements in water treatment plants (WTPs) being relatively easier than those in water distribution systems (WDSs) due to accessibility challenges, especially during...

Application of supervised learning models for enhanced lead (II) removal from wastewater via modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs).

Journal of environmental science and health. Part A, Toxic/hazardous substances & environmental engineering
Heavy metal ions are acknowledged to impact the environment and human health adversely. CNCs are effective materials for removing heavy metal ions in industrial applications and process innovations since they can be used in static and dynamic adsorpt...

Deep eutectic solvent-modified polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan thin film membrane for dye adsorption: Machine learning modeling, experimental, and density functional theory calculations.

International journal of biological macromolecules
The polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) thin film membrane was modified using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) to enhance its adsorption capability and mechanical strength for the removal of brilliant green (BG) dye. Batch adsorption experiments, machin...

Efficient and stable extraction of nano-sized plastic particles enabled by bio-inspired magnetic "robots" in water.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
In this research, a rationally-designed strategy was employed to address the crucial issue of removing nano-plastics (NPs) from aquatic environments, which was based on fabricating sea urchin-like structures of FeO magnetic robots (MagRobots). Throug...
