Original Abstract

The era of continuous advancement in science and technology leads to an increase in global pollution in the aquatic environment. Due to the presence of emerging contaminants, water bodies pose a serious threat toward human beings as well as other aquatic animals. Among all the contaminants, there is a significant amount of fluoride reported in many literature studies. In this work, activated carbon was synthesized from saw dust. Saw dust was a low-cost material obtained as a by-product of the various woodworking operations. In this investigation, we have developed a comparative study on Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Logic System (IT2FLS) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) by which we can predict the removal of fluoride. Here, Absorbent dose, Contact time, and temperature are the input parameters in an imprecise data set. The comparative batch study was conducted for determining the influence of process parameters on adsorption. A comparative study on the adsorption model and the adsorption kinetics was also done. The mechanism of fluoridation adsorption is further analysed from a thermodynamics point of view. For economic feasibility, the regeneration study was conducted with one of the samples where it showed the reduction in de-fluoridation efficiency by 28.39% in five cycles. Our objective is to apply different soft computing tools, IT2FLS and RSM approach, to predict the removal of fluoride from the wastewater treatment process. The prediction capability of both methods was compared based on the coefficient of determination R2. The R2 value for IT2FLS was 0.993 and for RSM was 0.98. It can be concluded from the result that the IT2FLS has a more prominent prediction result than RSM.
