Accurate prediction for electro-oxidation regeneration of chromium- containing waste acid based on artificial neural network by SHI Yaqi, MENG Guangyuan, CHEN Peng, ZHANG Xinwan, FU Tao, YANG Zhengwu, ZHANG Liansheng, ZHANG Lehua

“…Finally, the average relative error between predicted value and experimental value was 0.14%, which indicated that the model had good generalization ability. The artificial neural network model overcame the difficulty of predicting electrochemical processes due to multi-parameter, nonlinearity and time variability, and could realize the prediction of Cr(Ⅵ) regeneration under complex mapping conditions, which was of great significance for the optimization and control of electrochemical processes.…”

Evaluating the effects of Melastoma malabathricum and Dicranopteris linearis as amendments for acid sulfate soil by Syazwan Sulaiman, Kathereen Liew

“…Additionally, both plant materials consistently enhanced soil exchangeable K across all addition rates by up to an order of magnitude compared with dolomite (end value 52.87 – 174.53 mg kg−1 vs. 17.49 – 25.79 mg kg−1). Despite the generally less favourable results compared to dolomite, this study provides valuable insights into the limited body of information on the role of plant materials in altering the properties of acid sulfate soil.…”
