Abstract
The performance of a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system is characterized by SO2 removal efficiency () and reagent conversion (). Achieving a near-perfect reaction environment has been of concern in dry FGD (DFGD) due to the low reactivity compared to the wet and semi-dry units. This study will appraise output responses using modeling by response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) approaches. The impacts of input parameters like hydration time, hydration temperature, diatomite to hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2), sulfation temperature and inlet gas concentration will be studied using a randomized central composite design (CCD). ANN fitting tool mapped the CCD metadata using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm activated by the hyperbolic tangent (tansig) function. The hidden cells ranged from 7 to 10 to ascertain the effect node architecture on modeling accuracy. Validation of each procedure was assessed using root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE) and R-Squared studies. The outcomes presented a more accurate 5-10-2 ANN model in the mapping of the DFGD from R2 data of = 0.993 and = 0.9986 with a mapping deviation from the RMSE values of = 0.48465; = 0.44971 and MSE results of = 0.23488; = 0.20229.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
