However, insufficient data sets and an incomplete prediction mechanism remain obstacles toward the precise prediction of MP treatability by a hydroxyl radical (HO<sup>•</sup>), especially when <i>k</i> values approach the diffusion-controlled limit. Herein, we propose a novel graph neural network (GNN) model integrating self-supervised pretraining on a large unlabeled data set (∼10 million) to predict the <i>k</i><sub>HO</sub> values on MPs. Our model outperforms the common-seen and literature-established ML models on both whole data sets and diffusion-controlled limit data sets. Benefiting from the pretraining process, we demonstrate that <i>k</i>-value-related chemistry wisdom contained in the pretrained data set is fully exploited, and the learned knowledge can be transferred among data sets. In comparison with molecular fingerprints, we identify that molecular graphs (MGs) cover more structural information beyond substituents, facilitating a <i>k</i>-value prediction near the diffusion-controlled limit. In particular, we observe that mechanistic pathways of HO<sup>•</sup>-initiated reactions could be automatically classified and mapped out on the penultimate layer of our model. The phenomenon shows that the GNN model can be trained to excavate mechanistic knowledge by analyzing the kinetic parameters. These findings not only well interpret the robust model performance but also extrapolate the <i>k</i>-value prediction model to mechanistic elucidation, leading to better decision making in water treatment.","PeriodicalId":7008,"journal":{"name":"ACS ES&T engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256046","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}

Meanwhile, sluggish electron transfer and energy loss during transmembrane diffusion restrict the production of biohydrogen (BioH<sub>2</sub>). Herein, iron oxide, nickel oxide, and Ni/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> bimetallic nanocomposites were prepared through the coprecipitation method to investigate their potential effect on the dark fermentative hydrogen production (DFHP) system. The results showed that BioH<sub>2</sub> production could be enhanced by using nickel and iron oxide composites in DFHP, surpassing the performance of individual iron oxide or nickel oxide and their physical mixture. Specifically, Ni/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-5% added to the feed at 150 mg/L increased the BioH<sub>2</sub> yields by 51.24% compared to that in its controlled experiment. The microbial community analysis confirmed a significant change in compositional proportions of the microbiome structure of DFHP in response to Ni/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-5 wt %. The Enterobacter species proportions increased from 32.0% to 39.0%, along with some unclassified genera of microbial communities, from 34.0% to 42.0%, by supplementation of the nanomaterials. Enterobacter species are versatile facultative hydrogen producers and can use various organic wastes as the sole carbon source. The results suggested that the supplemented Ni/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-5% induced the glycolytic efficacy and Fe and Ni availability, thereby increasing the hydrogenase activities. This study provided novel insights into integrating Ni/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> into the DFHP system and depicted its potential as an excellent catalyst to increase BioH<sub>2</sub> production. The distinctive microbial communities, unidentified hydrogen-producing bacteria, and increased BioH<sub>2</sub> yield due to the presence of Ni/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> in the DFHP system suggest unique and substantial advantages for the sustainable use of bimetallic nanomaterials in fermentation technology.","PeriodicalId":7008,"journal":{"name":"ACS ES&T engineering","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256044","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}

Here, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based biocarrier was applied to control membrane fouling and facilitate attached biofilm growth. At an HRT of 16 h, which corresponds to 3.75 L/m<sup>2</sup> h of permeate flux, transmembrane pressure was maintained as 0.15 bar. As the HRT decreased 12 h, the SCOD removal efficiency dropped 42% quickly while bulk volatile suspended solid (VSS) concentration increased 1300 mg/L. However, when the HRT was further reduced to 8 h, the SCOD removal stabilized at 81% gradually with reducing the bulk VSS to 300 mg/L. During the entire operational period, the biogas produced by AFMBR under the fluidization of multichanneled media consisted of 50% methane. The methane yield was 0.13 L of CH<sub>4</sub>/day at an HRT of 8 h. A 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid analysis of the microbial community demonstrated that the relative abundance of Methanosaeta grown on the PVDF media increased as the HRT decreased.

Traditional kinetic models, such as the modified Gompertz (MG) model, are widely utilized but often lack the precision and adaptability needed for optimal process design and operational efficiency. This highlights a crucial gap in the development of more accurate and flexible predictive tools. To address this gap, advanced machine learning techniques, specifically, artificial neural networks (ANN), have been explored. This study developed and evaluated three ANN models: ANN, deep feed forward backpropagation (DFFBP), and deep cascade forward backpropagation network (DCFBP). The DCFBP model demonstrated superior predictive accuracy with a high coefficient of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.9946) and a lower mean absolute error (MAE = 0.34). Key input parameters, including the ratios of volatile solids to total solids (VS/TS) and the ratio of soluble chemical oxygen demand to total chemical oxygen demand (SCOD/TCOD), were integrated to enhance the prediction precision. These findings highlight the potential of ANN models to improve biogas yield predictions, offering significant benefits for the optimization and design of AD processes.","PeriodicalId":7008,"journal":{"name":"ACS ES&T engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256052","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}
