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...

Machine learning-based prediction of non-aeration linear alkylbenzene sulfonate mineralization in an oxygenic microalgal-bacteria biofilm.

Bioresource technology
Microalgal-bacteria biofilm shows great potential in low-cost greywater treatment. Accurately predicting treated greywater quality is of great significance for water reuse. In this work, machine learning models were developed for simulating and predi...

How small is big enough? Big data-driven machine learning predictions for a full-scale wastewater treatment plant.

Water research
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) generate vast amounts of water quality, operational, and biological data. The potential of these big data, particularly through machine learning (ML), to improve WWTP management is increasingly recognized. However,...

Enhanced iodinated disinfection byproducts formation in iodide/iodate-containing water undergoing UV-chloramine sequential disinfection: Machine learning-aided identification of reaction mechanisms.

Water research
Restricted to the complex nature of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in various aquatic environments, the mechanisms of enhanced iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) formation in water containing both I and IO (designated as I/IO in this study) d...

Predicting the adsorption of ammonia nitrogen by biochar in water bodies using machine learning strategies: Model optimization and analysis of key characteristic variables.

Environmental research
Biochar adsorption technology has been widely used to remove ammonia nitrogen from water bodies. However, existing methods for predicting adsorption efficiency often lack sufficient accuracy and practical usability. This study evaluated eight machine...
