Abstract
The rising heavy metal (HM) pollution in coastal aquifers in rapidly urbanizing areas such as Dammam leads to significant risks to public health and environmental sustainability, challenging compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, World Health Organization (WHO) standards, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to clean water and life on land. This study developed the predictive-based monitoring of HM concentrations, including cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and mercury (Hg) in the coastal aquifers of Dammam, influenced by industrial, agricultural, and urban activities. For this purpose, dynamic system identification and machine learning (ML) models integrated with three ensemble techniques, namely, simple averaging (SAE), weighted averaging (WAE), and neuro-ensemble (N-ESB), were employed to enhance the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of environmental monitoring systems. The experimental data were calibrated and validated in addition to k-fold cross-validation to ensure the predictive skills of the models. The methodology integrates extensive data collection across varied land uses in Dammam and accurate model calibration and validation phases to develop highly accurate predictive models. The findings proved that the N-ESB and Hammerstein-Wiener (HW) models surpassed other models in predicting the concentrations of all HM. For Cd, the N-ESB model achieved a root mean square error (RMSE = 0.0010 mg/kg). Similarly, Cr demonstrated superior performance (RMSE = 0.0179 mg/kg). Further numerical results indicated that the HW algorithm proved the most effective for Hg, with RMSE = 0.0000 mg/kg. The quantitative comparison suggested that the N-ESB model's consistently high performance and low error rates make it an optimal choice for real-time, precise monitoring and management of HM pollution in coastal aquifers. The outcomes of this research highlighted the importance of integrating advanced predictive modeling techniques in environmental science, providing significant and practical implications for policymaking and ecological management.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:7937-7957. [PMID: 38405476 PMCID: PMC10882694 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
In the context of global climate change, significant attention is being directed toward renewable energy and the pivotal role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. These innovations involve secure CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers through structural and capillary processes, with the interfacial tension (IFT) of the CO2-brine system influencing the storage capacity of formations. In this study, an extensive data set of 2811 experimental data points was compiled to model the IFT of impure and pure CO2-brine systems. Three white-box machine learning (ML) methods, namely, genetic programming (GP), gene expression programming (GEP), and group method of data handling (GMDH) were employed to establish accurate mathematical correlations. Notably, the study utilized two distinct modeling approaches: one focused on impurity compositions and the other incorporating a pseudocritical temperature variable (Tcm) offering a versatile predictive tool suitable for various gas mixtures. Among the correlation methods explored, GMDH, employing five inputs, exhibited exceptional accuracy and reliability across all metrics. Its mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values for testing, training, and complete data sets stood at 7.63, 7.31, and 7.38%, respectively. In the case of six-input models, the GEP correlation displayed the highest precision, with MAPE values of 9.30, 8.06, and 8.31% for the testing, training, and total data sets, respectively. The sensitivity and trend analyses revealed that pressure exerted the most significant impact on the IFT of CO2-brine, showcasing an adverse effect. Moreover, an impurity possessing a critical temperature below that of CO2 resulted in an elevated IFT. Consequently, this relationship leads to higher impurity concentrations aligning with lower Tcm values and subsequently elevated IFT. Also, monovalent and divalent cation molalities exhibited a growing influence on the IFT, with divalent cations exerting approximately double the influence of monovalent cations. Finally, the Leverage approach confirmed both the reliability of the experimental data and the robust statistical validity of the best correlations established in this study.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132430. [PMID: 37659239 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
Soil electrokinetic remediation is an emerging and efficient in-situ remediation technology for reducing environmental risks. Promoting the dissolution and migration of Cr in soil under the electric field is crucial to decrease soil toxicity and ecological influences. However, it is difficult to establish strong relationships between soil treatment and impact factors and to quantify their contributions. Machine learning can help establish pollutant migration models, but it is challenging to derive predictive formulas to improve remediation efficiency, describe the predictive model construction process, and reflect the importance of the predictors for better regulation. Therefore, this paper established a predictive model for the electrokinetic remediation of Cr-contaminated soil using genetic programming (GP) after determining the characteristic parameters which influenced the remediation effect, described the model's adaptive optimization process through the algorithm's function, and identified the sensitivity factors affecting the Cr removal effect. Results showed that the Cr(VI) and total Cr concentrations predicted by GP were in satisfactory agreement with the experimental values, 92% of the training data and 90% of the validation data achieved errors within 1%, and could fully reflect the target ions' content variation in different soil layers. By substituting the above prediction formulas into Sobol sensitivity analysis, it was determined that conductivity, pH, current, and moisture content dramatically affected the Cr content variation in distinguished regions. For overall contaminated area, the system current and soil pH were the most sensitive factors for Cr(VI) and total Cr contents. Remediation efforts throughout the contaminated area should focus on the role of current versus soil pH. GP and sensitivity analysis can provide decision support and operational guidance for in-situ soil electrokinetic treatment by establishing a remediation effect prediction model, expediting the development and innovation of electrokinetic technology.

Abstract
Chromium (Cr) exists in aqueous solution as trivalent (Cr3+) and hexavalent (Cr6+) forms. Cr3+ is an essential trace element while Cr6+ is a dangerous and carcinogenic element, which is of great concern globally due to its extensive applications in various industrial processes such as textiles, manufacturing of inks, dyes, paints, and pigments, electroplating, stainless steel, leather, tanning, and wood preservation, among others. Cr3+ in wastewater can be transformed into Cr6+ when it enters the environment. Therefore, research on Cr remediation from water has attracted much attention recently. A number of methods such as adsorption, electrochemical treatment, physico-chemical methods, biological removal, and membrane filtration have been devised for efficient Cr removal from water. This review comprehensively demonstrated the Cr removal technologies in the literature to date. The advantages and disadvantages of Cr removal methods were also described. Future research directions are suggested and provide the application of adsorbents for Cr removal from waters.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) in soil and water bodies greatly threaten human health. The wide separation of HMs urges the necessity to develop an expert system for HMs prediction and detection. In the current perspective, several propositions are discussed to design an innovative intelligence system for HMs prediction and detection in soil and water bodies. The intelligence system incorporates the Edge Cloud Server (ECS) data center, an innovative deep learning predictive model and the Federated Learning (FL) technology. The ECS data center is based on satellite sensing sources under human expertise ruling and HMs in-situ measurement. The FL system comprises a machine learning (ML) technique that trains an algorithm across multiple decentralized edge servers holding local data samples without exchanging them or breaching data privacy. The expected outcomes of the intelligence system are to quantify the soil and water bodies' HMs, develop new modified HMs pollution contamination indices and provide decision-makers and environmental experts with an appropriate vision of soil, surface water, and crop health.

Abstract
A defect-free, loose, and strong layer consisting of zirconium (Zr) nanoparticles (NPs) has been successfully established on a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ultrafiltration substrate by an in-situ formation process. The resulting organic–inorganic nanofiltration (NF) membrane, NF-PANZr, has been accurately characterized not only with regard to its properties but also its structure by the atomic force microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. A sophisticated computing model consisting of the Runge–Kutta method followed by Richardson extrapolation was applied in this investigation to solve the extended Nernst–Planck equations, which govern the solute particles’ transport across the active layer of NF-PANZr. A smart, adaptive step-size routine is chosen for this simple and robust method, also known as RK4 (fourth-order Runge–Kutta). The NF-PANZr membrane was less performant toward monovalent ions, and its rejection rate for multivalent ions reached 99.3%. The water flux of the NF-PANZr membrane was as high as 58 L · m−2 · h−1. Richardson’s extrapolation was then used to get a better approximation of Cl− and Mg2+ rejection, the relative errors were, respectively, 0.09% and 0.01% for Cl− and Mg2+. While waiting for the rise and expansion of machine learning in the prediction of rejection performance, we strongly recommend the development of better NF models and further validation of existing ones.

Abstract
The objective of the present work was to investigate the efficacy of indigenously developed polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based ultrafiltration (UF) membrane for chromium ions removal from potable water. The hydrolyzed PAN membranes effectively rejected chromium anions in the feed ranging from 250 ppb to 400 ppm and a rejection of ≥90% was achieved for pH ≥ 7 at low chromate concentration (≤25 ppm) in feed. The rejection mechanism of chromium ions was strongly dependent on Donnan exclusion principle, while size exclusion principle for UF did not play a major role on ions rejection. Feed pH played a vital role in changing porosity of membrane, which influenced the retention behavior of chromate ions. Cross-flow velocity, pressure did not play significant role for ions rejection at low feed concentration. However, at higher feed concentration (≥400 ppm), concentration polarization became important and it reduced the chromate rejection to 32% at low cross flow and high pressure. Donnan steric-partitioning pore and dielectric exclusion model (DSPM-DE) was applied to evaluate the chromate ions transport through PAN UF membrane as a function of flux by using optimized model parameters and the simulated data matched well with experimental results.
