Description
Summary:This paper presents a methodology for determining the optimal parameters of a photocatalysis process for treating pharmaceutical wastewater. Three parameters are considered: pH value, catalyst dosages, and reaction time to boost the amoxicillin degradation efficiency (ADE). The proposed methodology contains two stages: fuzzy modelling and a parameter determination process using the marine predators algorithm (MPA). Firstly, based on the experimental dataset of ADE in terms of pH value, catalyst dosages, and reaction time, a robust fuzzy model is produced to model the photocatalysis/ozonation process. The target is reducing the root mean square error (RMSE) between the actual data and the experimental dataset. Using fuzzy, the RMSE decreased from 2.0248 using ANOVA to 0.3148 using fuzzy (decreased by 84%). Next, using the MPA, the optimal parameters of pH value, catalyst dosages, and reaction time corresponding to maximum ADE are determined. The suggested strategy boosted the ADE from 88.23% to a rate of 11.68% compared with the experimental and RSM approaches. Under this condition, the optimal solutions are 11, 384 mg/L, and 33.615 min, respectively, for pH, catalyst dosages, and reaction time.
