This study innovatively employed regression-based machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the separation performance of proteins with varying molecular weights from synthetic phosphate-laden wastewater using commercially available membranes with different pore sizes. The chosen ML tools are bi-layered neural network (BNN), linear regression (LR), least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), and Gaussian process regression (GPR). Correlation was employed to select the most pertinent variables for constructing an effective model combination while safeguarding against data leakage within the frugal dataset. Among the ML tools, the BNN and GPR algorithms demonstrated effective predictive capabilities for protein rejection. The collaborative integration of all input variable combinations resulted in superior predictive accuracy (R²=0.99) for protein rejection, showcasing minimal error rates for both the BNN and GPR algorithms. Interpretable SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis indicated that the molecular weight cutoff (MWCO), protein molecular weight (PMw), and isoelectric point (IEP) were the most influential factors affecting protein separation performance, with mean SHAP values of approximately 25, 12, and 15, respectively. The ML tools revealed that the input variables of MWCO, PMw, and IEP exerted a more substantial impact compared to hydro-dynamic variables. This study provides insights into advancing the development of ML tools tailored to sparse datasets, particularly for accurately predicting protein separation from phosphate-laden wastewater.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100251,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Chemical Engineering","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144279928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These emissions arise from leaks and regular venting that occurs throughout O&amp;G operations. Mitigating these emissions from the operations of the studied industry has advantages for air quality and health. There are several policy options that are considered as solutions available to mitigate the emissions of methane from O&amp;G operations. Choosing the appropriate policy option is a complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem that needs to use an intelligent and robust decision support system (DSS) to employ a smart and resilient model to decrease uncertainty in the decision-making process. The proposed DSS of this work incorporates the Delphi method and Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) integration method (DEAMEIM) and Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (MARCOS) model under the quartic fuzzy set (QFS). Moreover, a hybrid criteria system, which involves 19 criteria has been used to evaluate policy options for methane emissions reduction. The criteria are selected according to the integration of 1) sustainability pillars and 2) health, safety, and environmental (HSE) aspects. The results of evaluations exhibit that the Regulation of methane leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs, is the most suitable scenario for methane emissions reduction from the operations.

Characterisation results indicated that both BS-nZVI and CS-nZVI were coated with FeS_x, with BS-nZVI additionally covered by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secreted by the SRB. Both BS-nZVI and CS-nZVI exhibited significantly higher Cr(VI) removal efficiencies compared to nZVI, with values of 18.91 mg/g and 18.80 mg/g, respectively, versus 0.095 mg/g for nZVI. These improvements are attributed to the enhanced electron transfer properties of FeS_x. In cyclic “sulfidation-Cr(VI) removal” experiments, biogenic sulfidation was found to be more effective than chemical sulfidation in enhancing and reactivating the Cr(VI) removal capacity of nZVI. The EPS associated with S-nZVI provided additional binding sites for co-precipitation of Cr(III)-Fe(III) during Cr(VI) removal, resulting in the formation of a loosely structured Cr(III)-Fe(III)-EPS co-precipitate. This co-precipitate mitigated the hindering caused by dense Cr(III)-Fe(III) passivation layers on electron transfer during Cr(VI) removal and cyclic sulfidation, in contrast to CS-nZVI.

Optimization of several experimental parameters, such as the initial concentration of AMX, the nature of the photocatalyst, the catalyst dose and the initial pH of the solution, was carried out to maximize photocatalytic performance. XRD revealed the presence of the wurtzite phase for ZnO, while TiO₂ showed the rutile and anatase phases, finely dispersed in the ZnO matrix. FT-IR analysis confirmed the presence of the characteristic ZnO and TiO₂ bands, and UV-vis DRS analysis also confirmed significant energy absorption in the UV-vis range. In addition, evaluation of photocatalytic efficiency under different experimental conditions showed that alkaline conditions were more conducive to degradation due to the significantly higher hydroxyl ion content. Under optimal experimental conditions (AMX concentration of 40 mg/L, pH of approx. 10, catalyst dose of 100 mg/L and Zn²⁺/Ti⁴⁺=4 molar ratio), the ZnO-TiO₂ heterojunction reached 94% after 210 minutes of exposure to UV-vis irradiation, guaranteeing an optimum balance between light penetration and photocatalytic activity. In addition, the photocatalyst demonstrated high regeneration capacity and photostability, maintaining high regeneration capacity after five cycles.

A significant reduction in CMC values of the PIL was observed with increasing concentrations (mM) of the tosyl derivative. The findings of the interfacial parameters indicated that when the concentration of tosyl derivative increased, the values of A_min, π_CMC, and pC₂₀ enhanced while the values of γ_CMC, Γ_max, and CPP undergo reduction.
