A hybrid artificial neural network and particle swarm optimization for prediction of removal of hazardous dye brilliant green from aqueous solution using zinc sulfide nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon

Potential of Ripe Plantain Fruit Peels as an Ecofriendly Catalyst for Biodiesel Synthesis: Optimization by Artificial Neural Network Integrated with Genetic Algorithm

“…While Sarve et al [21] employed ANN in the ultrasound-assisted transesterification using barium hydroxide as a heterogeneous catalyst, sesame oil and methanol. In order to maximize or minimize the response of an objective function, models generated using ANN are usually coupled with an optimization tool such as genetic algorithm, GA [20,22], particle swarm Sustainability 2018, 10, 707 3 of 15 optimization, PSO [23], rotation inherit optimization, RIO [24], to achieve this by optimizing the operating input variables involved.…”

Highly efficient simultaneous ultrasonic assisted adsorption of brilliant green and eosin B onto ZnS nanoparticles loaded activated carbon: Artificial neural network modeling and central composite design optimization

“…Wide application of dyes in versatile industries and/or medicinal or food activities increase [1][2][3] problems such as toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenic, teratogenic problems and hazards for some microorganisms [4,5].…”

“…Modeling the adsorption process has been undertaken by various methods including multiple linear regression (MLR), partial least squares (PLS), principal component regression (PCR), support vector regression (SVR), adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural networks (ANNs). Among these methods, the ANN extensively was used for modeling complex nonlinear systems and solving problems in various areas [3,8,[20][21][22][23][24].…”

Recent achievements in the microbial synthesis of semiconductor metal sulfide nanoparticles

“…These applications may be in manufacturing photocatalysis, display screens, sensors, lasers, IR optical devices and fast optical switching [45,48,59]. Zinc sulfide nanocrystals have also been used to eradicate heavy metals and dyes through photocatalytic degradation of water contaminants [8,60].…”
