S. L. Pandharipande, Y. D. Urunkar, Ankit Singh . Comparative Study of Topology of ANN Models for Adsorption of Colouring Agents from Aqueous Solutions using Adsorbents Synthesized from Agricultural Waste Material. International Journal of Computer Applications. 45, 11 ( May 2012), 45-48. DOI=10.5120/6828-9467
The ability of some solids to remove colour from solutions containing dyes has been known for over a century. Activated carbon has been quite successful for removal of impurities from exhaust gas and waste water streams. The highly porous nature of the carbon provides a large surface area for contaminants to get deposited. Artificial neural network is a black box modeling tool & is applied for several chemical engineering operations. In the present work ANN models 1,2 & 3 having different topologies have been developed for correlating input parameters like name of adsorbate, name of adsorbent, initial concentration of solute in aqueous solution & quantity of adsorbent with output parameters such as % adsorption & equilibrium concentration of solute in adsorbent. The novel feature of present work is selection of suitable ANN model based on topology.
