This discussion offers a systematic approach to predict the adsorption characteristics of a pharmaceutical pollutant, ibuprofen through artificial neural network. The artificial neural network is inspired by biological nervous system. Artificial neural networks are being extensively used for predicting the rate of adsorption of an adsorbent in solid-liquid adsorption system. Adsorption is a versatile method for the treatment of waste water bearing various pollutants. In case of batch adsorption study, the most significant output of an adsorption process, the adsorption capacity can be...
