Modelling a rotating biological contactor treating heavy metal contaminated wastewater using artificial neural network

The performance of a continuously operated laboratory-scale rotating biological contactor (RBC) was assessed for the removal of heavy metals viz. Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) from synthetic wastewater using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The RBC was inoculated with Sulfate Reducing Bacteria consort...
