Process optimization and enhancement of pesticide adsorption by porous adsorbents by regression analysis and parametric modelling

ABSTRACT: In the present study, the adsorptive removal of organophosphate diazinon pesticide using porous pumice adsorbent was experimentally investigated in a batch system, modelled and optimized upon response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA), fitted to isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic models. The quantification of adsorbent elements was determined using EDX. XRD analysis was utilized to study the crystalline properties of adsorbent. The FT-IR spectra were taken from adsorbent before and after adsorption to study the presence and changes in functional groups. The constituted composition of the adsorbent was determined by XRF. Also, the ionic strength and adsorbent reusability were explored. The influences of operational parameters like pH, initial pesticide concentration, adsorbent dosage and contact time were investigated systematically. ANN-GA and RSM techniques were used to identify the optimal process variables that result in the highest removal. Based on the RSM approach, the optimization conditions for maximum removal efficiency is obtained at pH = 3, adsorbent dosage = 4 g/L, contact time = 30 min, and initial pesticide concentration = 6.2 mg/L. To accurately identify the parameters of nonlinear isotherm and kinetic models, a hybrid evolutionary differential evolution optimization (DEO) is applied. Results indicated that the equilibrium adsorption data were best fitted with Langmuir and Temkin isotherms and kinetic data were well described by pseudo-first and second-order kinetic models. The thermodynamic parameters such as entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs energy were evaluated to study the effect of temperature on pesticide adsorption.

Project description:Full quantification of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) requires an arterial input function (AIF) for measurement of certain targets, or using particular radiotracers, or for the quantification of specific outcome measures. The AIF represents the measurement of radiotracer concentrations in the arterial blood plasma over the course of the PET examination. Measurement of the AIF is prone to error as it is a composite measure created from the combination of multiple measurements of different samples with different equipment, each of which can be sources of measurement error. Moreover, its measurement requires a high degree of temporal granularity for early time points, which necessitates a compromise between quality and quantity of recorded samples. For these reasons, it is often desirable to fit models to this data in order to improve its quality before using it for quantification of radiotracer binding in the tissue. The raw observations of radioactivity in arterial blood and plasma samples are derived from radioactive decay, which is measured as a number of recorded counts. Count data have several specific properties, including the fact that they cannot be negative as well as a particular mean-variance relationship. Poisson regression is the most principled modelling strategy for working with count data, as it both incorporates and exploits these properties. However, no previous studies to our knowledge have taken this approach, despite the advantages of greater efficiency and accuracy which result from using the appropriate distributional assumptions. Here, we implement a Poisson regression modelling approach for the AIF as proof-of-concept of its application. We applied both parametric and non-parametric models for the input function curve. We show that a negative binomial distribution is a more appropriate error distribution for handling overdispersion. Furthermore, we extend this approach to a hierarchical non-parametric model which is shown to be highly resilient to missing data. We thus demonstrate that Poisson regression is both feasible and effective when applied to AIF data, and propose that this is a promising strategy for modelling blood count data for PET in future.
