Zusammenfassung:An artificial neural network (ANN) hybrid structure was proposed that, unlike the standard ANN structure optimization, allows the fit of several adsorption curves simultaneously by indirectly minimizing the real output error. To model a case study of 3-aminophenol adsorption phenomena onto avocado seed activated carbon, a hybrid ANN was applied to fit the parameters of the Langmuir and Sips isotherm models. Network weights and biases were optimized with two different methods: particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA), due to their good convergence in large-scale problems. In addition, the data were also fitted with the Levenberg-Marquardt feedforward optimization method to compare the performance between a standard ANN model and the hybrid model proposed. Results showed that the ANN-isotherm hybrid models with both PSO and GA were able to accurately fit the experimental equilibrium adsorption capacity data using the Sips isotherm model, obtaining Pearson’s correlation coefficient ( R ) of the order of 0.9999 and mean squared error ( MSE ) around 0.5, very similar to the performance of standard ANN using Levenberg-Marquardt optimization. On the other hand, the results with Langmuir isotherm models were quite inferior in the ANN-isotherm hybrid models with both PSO and GA, with R and MSE of around 0.944 and 4.04 × 10 2 , respectively. The proposed ANN-isotherm hybrid structure was successfully applied to estimate the parameters of adsorption isotherms, reducing the computational demand and the exhausting task of estimating the parameters of each adsorption curve individually.
