Modelling the Effects of Nanomaterial Addition on the Permeability of the Compacted Clay Soil Using Machine Learning-Based Flow Resistance Analysis

Abstract

Impermeable base layers that are made of materials with low permeability, such as clay soil, are necessary to prevent leachate in landfills from harming the environment. However, over time, the permeability of the clay soil changes. Therefore, to reduce and minimize the risk, the permeability-related characteristics of the base layers must be improved. Thus, this study aims to serve this purpose by experimentally investigating the effects of nanomaterial addition (aluminum oxide, iron oxide) into kaolin samples. The obtained samples are prepared by applying standard compaction, and the permeability of the soil sample is experimentally investigated by passing leachate from the reactors, in which these samples are placed. Therefore, Flow Resistance (FR) analysis is conducted and the obtained results show that the Al additives are more successful than the Fe additive in reducing leachate permeability. Besides, the concentration values of some polluting parameters (Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), and Total Phosphorus (TP)) at the inlet and outlet of the reactors are analyzed. Three different models (Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Machine (SVM)) are applied to the data obtained from the experimental study. The results have shown that polluting parameters produce high FR regression similarity rates (>75%), TKN, TP, and COD features are highly correlated with the FR value (>60%) and the most successful method is found to be the SVM model.

“…The applicability of this study is restricted to specific forms of soil. Ozcoban et al [38] developed a model that can predict nitrate deficiency in soil using a machine learning approach. Arciniegas-Ortega et al [39] used logistic regression to generate an index based on the land-use order.…”

Prediction of Soil Shear Strength Parameters Using Combined Data and Different Machine Learning Models

“…Although the traditional empirical formula can be used to build the correlation model, the adjustment coefficient of the formula is difficult to determine [15,21], which dramatically reduces its prediction accuracy. In recent years, owing to the universal application of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches [22][23][24][25], machine learning (ML) has attracted increasing interest among soil scientists, and as a method for predicting soil properties [26][27][28]. ML is an interdisciplinary subfield of AI that promotes low-cost computing through algorithmic learning [29].…”
