A hybrid model integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks was developed to exploit both spatial feature extraction and temporal sequence learning capabilities. The synergy of CNN and LSTM enabled more accurate modelling of the complex, time-dependent behaviour of the EC process. Electrocoagulation (EC) was further optimized using a Box-Behnken design to evaluate the effects of six key variables-pH, initial NO₃<sup>-</sup> concentration, conductivity, voltage, current, and reaction time-on NO₃<sup>-</sup> removal efficiency. The resulting statistical model, supported by high coefficient values, demonstrated strong predictive capability for estimating NO₃<sup>-</sup> removal performance. Model performance was systematically enhanced through hyperparameter tuning using the Random Search algorithm, while the Early Stopping technique was employed to prevent overfitting. Several machine learning and deep learning models were constructed and comparatively evaluated based on established performance metrics, including MSE, RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and R<sup>2</sup>. The XGBoost model demonstrated superior predictive performance, yielding the lowest values for MSE (44.77), RMSE (6.69), and MAE (4.93). Furthermore, the high R<sup>2</sup> (0.96) and adjusted R<sup>2</sup> (0.94) values indicate that the model effectively captured a substantial proportion of the variance within the dataset. However, the CNN-LSTM hybrid model also showed excellent performance and was ultimately identified as the most effective deep learning approach due to its ability to capture spatiotemporal dynamics. Beyond predictive performance, the study also addressed energy consumption and operational cost analyses, contributing to a holistic evaluation of system sustainability. The average costs were calculated as $0.46/m<sup>3</sup> for Al, $0.55/m<sup>3</sup> for Fe, and $0.25/m<sup>3</sup> for the Al/Fe combination electrodes. Accordingly, an optimized system design was proposed to maximize NO₃<sup>-</sup> removal efficiency, minimize energy usage, and promote environmentally sustainable practices. In 5-fold cross-validation, XGBoost achieved the highest accuracy (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.932 ± 0.051), while CNN-LSTM showed comparable reliability but lower performance (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.886 ± 0.056).

Nowadays, the Hebei Plain is a large scale coastal plain in China, its groundwater Fe distribution and origins still remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the distribution of Fe in shallow and deep groundwater in different land uses in various sub-plains across the Hebei Plain, and to discuss origins for Fe-rich groundwater in various sub-plains. Results showed that Fe-rich groundwater mainly occurred in both of central and littoral sub-plains (CSP and LSP) in comparison with the piedmont sub-plain (PSP). Proportions of Fe-rich groundwater in shallow aquifers were 1.5–2 times that in deep aquifers in various sub-plains. In the PSP, Fe-rich shallow groundwater in rural areas and woods-grasslands were more than double that in other land use types, while Fe-rich deep groundwater occurred in agricultural lands but absent in other lands. In the CSP, proportions of Fe-rich shallow groundwater in different land use types were about 36 %–43 %, while Fe-rich deep groundwater occurred in both of woods-grasslands and agricultural lands but absent in rural areas. In the LSP, proportions of Fe-rich shallow groundwater in different land use types were about 38 %–50 %. Anaerobic NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> oxidation coupled to Fe(III) minerals reduction in Quaternary sediments was responsible for the occurrence of Fe-rich groundwater in shallow aquifers of CSP and LSP and in deep aquifers of the PSP, but one of driving mechanisms for the occurrence of Fe-rich groundwater in shallow aquifers of the PSP and in deep aquifers of the CSP. Dissolved-Fe(III) from the leaching of thickened vadose zones (or aquitards) because of the failing of groundwater table was likely another driving force for the occurrence of Fe-rich groundwater in shallow aquifers of the PSP and in deep aquifers of the CSP. On the other hand, NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> reducing accompanied with Fe(II) oxidizing and Fe(II) oxidation by oxygen were likely two mechanisms inhibiting the occurrence of Fe-rich shallow groundwater in the PSP. Besides, the former one also restrained the occurrence of Fe-rich deep groundwater in the PSP. Therefore, in the future, strengthening the input of external water for elevating the groundwater table to inhibit Fe-rich shallow groundwater in the PSP and Fe-rich deep groundwater in the CSP and controlling NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> input for restraining Fe-rich shallow and deep groundwaters in the PSP are recommended. Besides, we also recommend long-term monitoring of groundwater Fe in the Hebei Plain to enhance the groundwater resources management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of contaminant hydrology","volume":"276 ","pages":"Article 104748"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145268021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alongside these data-driven approaches, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied to statistically evaluate the operational parameters. Among the tested models, the GB model showed the best performance with R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9924, Mean Squared Error (MSE) = 0.0135, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) = 0.1164 and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) = 8.7418. Optimal operating conditions were identified to achieve NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> removal below permissible limits. The specific energy consumption under these conditions corresponds to operational costs of 0.46, 0.55, and 0.25 $/m<sup>3</sup> for Al, Fe, and Al/Fe combination electrodes, respectively. These results indicate that EC powered by photovoltaic energy (PV) can serve as a sustainable and decentralized solution for groundwater treatment in rural areas, offering both high removal efficiency and economically favourable operation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of contaminant hydrology","volume":"276 ","pages":"Article 104745"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145251580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
