Prediction of degree of crystallinity for the LTA zeolite using artificial neural networks

Abstract

Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicate/silicate crystalline materials with three-dimensional tetrahedral configuration. In this study, the degree of crystallinity of the synthesized Linde Type A (LTA) zeolite, which is the main indicator of its quality/purity is tried to be modeled. Effect of crystallization time, temperature, molar ratio of the synthesis gel on the relative crystallinity of the LTA zeolites is investigated using artificial neural networks. Our experimental observations and some data collected from literature have been used for adjusting the parameters of the proposed model and evaluating its performance. It has been observed that two-layer perceptron network with eight hidden neurons is the most accurate approach for the considered task. The designed model predicts the experimental datasets with a mean square error of 3.99 × 10 −6 , absolute average relative deviation of 8.69 %, and regression coefficient of 0.9596. The proposed model can decrease the required time and number of experiments to evaluate the extent of crystallinity of the LTA zeolites.

A universal methodology for reliable predicting the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide

“…Indeed, the optimization algorithm continuously updates the hyperparameters of the machine learning method to minimize the objective function or at least reduce it as much as possible. The training stage finishes when the maximum number of iterations is reached or the objective function converges to the prespecified value 57 .…”

Analyses of Adsorption Behavior of CO2, CH4, and N2 on Different Types of BETA Zeolites

“…An adsorption process includes one or more than one adsorbate which is fixed through physical or chemical bonds onto an adsorbent [43,44]. This process as an efficient and environmentally friendly technique has attracted much attention in the wastewater treatment process [45,46], and gas separation and purification [47][48][49][50], to remove impurities from water or gas.…”

Estimating the Relative Crystallinity of Biodegradable Polylactic Acid and Polyglycolide Polymer Composites by Machine Learning Methodologies

“…Generally, the application domain of polymers is directly related to their physicochemical properties, including their tensile strength, elasticity, glass transition temperature, solubility, and crystallinity [ 12 ]. Crystallization is among the most complicated and longest-standing challenges related to polymer [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], composite [ 16 ], and zeolite [ 17 ] research and development. The relative crystallinity of polymers shows the degree of alignment of polymeric chains to one another [ 18 ].…”
