A Multilayer Perceptron Feedforward Neural Network and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Optimizing Biogas Production
Published on 2025-02-19 by Arief Abdurrakhman, Lilik Sutiarso, Makhmudun Ainuri, Mirwan Ushada, Md Parvez Islam @MDPI
Abstract: Efficient biogas production significantly impacts greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon sequestration by reducing emissions and enhancing carbon storage. Nonetheless, the consistency and optimization of biogas production are hindered by fluctuations in key input variables, namely, pH, moisture content, organic loading rate (OLR), and temperature, which significantly impact the quality of agricultural waste biomass and biogas production. Any fluctuations in these variables can affect biogas p[...]
Our summary: Optimization of biogas production using machine learning techniques for agricultural waste biomass inputs. Maximum biogas production achieved with optimized pH, humidity, OLR, and temperature values. Accurate prediction of biogas production using MLP and PSO algorithms.

Enhancement of Bio-H2 Purification Performance in a Multi-Stage Desulfurization Process Using Mining Waste and LaNi5
Published on 2025-02-19 by Shuto Kitayama, Mayu Hamazaki, Shoichi Kumon, Kimitaka Sato, Kiyoshi Dowaki @MDPI
Abstract: The fuel-cell (FC) power system, utilizing biohydrogen from biomass resources, is a promising alternative to fossil fuels. However, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in bio-syngas can severely degrade FC performance and increase environmental impact, necessitating impurity removal. This study investigates a multi-stage desulfurization process using neutralized sediment (NS) and a metal hydride (LaNi5) as H2S adsorbents. NS, a mining waste material, can potentially reduce environmental impact when repurpose[...]

High-Resolution Reconstruction of Total Organic Carbon Content in Lake Sediments Using Hyperspectral Imaging
Published on 2025-02-19 by Xuening Lin, Xin Zhou, Hongfei Zhao, Guangcheng Zhang, Yiyan Chen, Shiwei Jiang, Tao Zhan, Luyao Tu @MDPI
Abstract: The total organic carbon (TOC) content in lake sediments is an effective archive indicating past climate changes. However, the resolution of the TOC record has generally been limited by factors such as subsampling intervals, hampering further comprehension of past climate change. Recently, hyperspectral imaging technology has been increasingly employed to scan lake sediment cores, presenting new opportunities to reconstruct high-resolution sequences, but the reconstruction of long-term high-reso[...]
