Machine learning exploration of the direct and indirect roles of Fe impregnation on Cr(VI) removal by engineered biochar

Xinzhe Zhu et al.

Summary: Data mining and machine learning have been applied to study the effects of microscopic material properties of Fe-BC on Cr(VI) removal in water, revealing that direct impacts of impregnated iron on Cr(VI) removal may be limited, while altering biochar properties indirectly affects the removal process. The study's machine learning models consider surface functionalities of BC and Fe-BC to offer more accurate predictions for Cr(VI) removal, providing important insights for the design of engineered biochar for environmental remediation.

A machine learning framework to improve effluent quality control in wastewater treatment plants

Dong Wang et al.

Summary: This paper presents a novel ML-based framework designed to improve effluent quality control in WWTPs by clarifying the relationships between operational variables and effluent parameters. The study shows that influent temperature has a significant impact on TSSe and PO4(e), but in different ways; PO4(e) strongly depends on the TSS concentration in aeration basins, and the impact of TSS in aeration basins on effluent parameters increases with the distances of the basin from the merging outlet; Returning excessive amounts of sludge through the second return sludge pipe should be avoided due to its adverse impact on effluent quality.
