Application of AI in Modeling of Real System in Chemistry

Abstract

In recent years, discharge of synthetic dye waste from different industries leading to aquatic and environmental pollution is a serious global problem of great concern. Hence, the removal of dye prediction plays an important role in wastewater management and conservation of nature. Artificial intelligence methods are popular owing due to its ease of use and high level of accuracy. This chapter proposes a detailed review of artificial intelligence-based removal dye prediction methods particularly multiple linear regression (MLR), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and least squares-support vector machine (LS-SVM). Furthermore, this chapter will focus on ensemble prediction models (EPMs) used for removal dye prediction. EPMs improve the prediction accuracy by integrating several prediction models. The principles, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of these artificial intelligence-based methods are explained in this chapter. Furthermore, future directions of the research on artificial intelligence-based removal dye prediction methods are discussed. process [49], Fenton process [50], and adsorption [51] by applying ANNs. M. Ahmadi and Kh. Naderi applied general regression neural network (GRNN) to predict the removal of methylene blue (MB) and Basic Yellow 28 (BY28) from aqueous solution. Their findings indicated that a well-designed GRNN is able to predict the removal of azo dye based on sonication time, initial dye concentration, and adsorbent mass. Ahmadi and J. Pooralhossini used backpropagation neural network (BPNN) to predict the decolorization of sunset yellow (SY) and disulfine blue (DB) [52]. The obtained results show that the BPNN model outperforms the classical statistical model in terms of R 2 , RMSE, MAE, and AAD for both dyes. Ahmadi and team used BPNN to predict the efficiency of two carcinogenic dye (methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG)) adsorption onto Mn@ CuS/ZnS nanocomposite-loaded activated carbon (Mn@ CuS/ZnS-NC-AC) as a novel adsorbent to identify the model parameters in order to improve the prediction performance [35]. Ahmadi and Dastkhoon used neural network to predict Safranin-O (SO) and indigo car-mine (IC) adsorption onto Ni:FeO(OH)-NWs-AC. In this work, the influence of process variables (initial dye concentration, adsorbent mass, and sonication time) on the removal of both dyes was investigated by central composite rotatable design (CCRD) of RSM, multilayer per-ceptron (MLP) neural network, and Doolittle factorization algorithm (DFA).
