Excessive soil copper (Cu) availability leads to plant growth retardation and leaf chlorosis, and the contamination of Cu
in the food chain would be detrimental to human and animal health. The most important path for Cu accumulation in plants is
uptake from soils. It is therefore important to understand the availability of soil Cu and its controlling factors to modify
Cu availability and prevent excessive Cu from entering the food chain. The present study proposed a general regression neural
network (GRNN) to simulate the availability index of soil Cu (available heavy mental concentrations/total heavy metal concentrations),
based on the influencing factors of total Cu concentration, pH, organic matter (OM), available phosphorus (AP), and readily
available potassium (RAK). Results showed that total Cu concentration, combined with OM and AP, achieved the lowest RMSE value
(0.0524) for the modeled value of the availability index of soil Cu. The simulated results by GRNN and the ground truth values
had better agreement (R
2 = 0.7760) than that by a linear model (R
2 = 0.6464) for 23 test samples. Moreover, GRNN obtained lower averaged relative errors than linear model. This demonstrated
that GRNN could be used to simulate the availability index of soil heavy metals and gained better results than linear model. 相似文献

Heavy metal distribution in soil and plant in municipal solid waste compost amended plots 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
F. Ayari M.Sc. H. Hamdi Ph.D. N. Jedidi Ph.D. N. Gharbi Ph.D. R. Kossai Ph.D. 《International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology》2010,7(3):465-472
A field study was carried out to evaluate long-term heavy metal accumulation in the top 20 cm of a Tunisian clayey loam soil amended for four consecutive years with municipal solid waste compost at three levels (0, 40 and 80 t/ha/y). Heavy metals uptake and translocation within wheat plants grown on these soils were also investigated. Compared to untreated soils, compost-amended soils showed significant increases in the content of all measured metals: cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc in the last three years, especially for plots amended with municipal solid waste compost at 80 t/ha/y. Wheat plants grown on compost-amended soils showed a general increase in metal uptake and translocation, especially for chromium and nickel. This heavy metal uptake was about three folds greater in plots amended at 80 t/ha/y as compared to plots amended at 40 t/ha/y. At the end of the experimental period, the diluting effect resulting from enhanced growth rates of wheat plants due to successive compost applications resulted in lower concentrations in the plants (grain part) grown on treated plots. On the other hand, chromium and nickel were less mobile in the aerial part of wheat plants and were accumulated essentially in root tissues. Plant/soil transfer coefficients for compost-amended treatments were higher than threshold range reported in the literature, indicating that there was an important load/transfer of metal ions from soils to wheat plants. 相似文献

The swelling pressure of soil depends upon various soil parameters such as mineralogy, clay content, Atterberg’s limits, dry
density, moisture content, initial degree of saturation, etc. along with structural and environmental factors. It is very
difficult to model and analyze swelling pressure effectively taking all the above aspects into consideration. Various statistical/empirical
methods have been attempted to predict the swelling pressure based on index properties of soil. In this paper, the computational
intelligence techniques artificial neural network and support vector machine have been used to develop models based on the
set of available experimental results to predict swelling pressure from the inputs; natural moisture content, dry density,
liquid limit, plasticity index, and clay fraction. The generalization of the model to new set of data other than the training
set of data is discussed which is required for successful application of a model. A detailed study of the relative performance
of the computational intelligence techniques has been carried out based on different statistical performance criteria. 相似文献

A back propagation artificial neural network approach is applied to three common challenges in engineering geology: (1) characterization
of subsurface geometry/position of the slip (or failure surface) of active landslides, (2) assessment of slope displacements
based on ground water elevation and climate, and (3) assessment of groundwater elevations based on climate data. Series of
neural network models are trained, validated, and applied to a landslide study along Lake Michigan and cases from the literature.
The subsurface characterization results are also compared to a limit equilibrium circular failure surface search with specific
adopted boundary conditions. It is determined that the neural network models predict slip surfaces better than the limit equilibrium
slip surface search using the most conservative criteria. Displacements and groundwater elevations are also predicted fairly
well, in real time. The models’ ability to predict displacements and groundwater elevations provides a foundational framework
for building future warning systems with additional inputs. 相似文献

This research proposes the use of artificial neural network to predict the allowable bearing capacity and elastic settlement of shallow foundation on granular soils in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Data obtained from existing soil reports of 600 boreholes were used to train and validate the model. Three parameters (footing width, effective unit weight, and SPT blow count) are considered to have the most significant impact on the magnitude of allowable bearing capacity and elastic settlement of shallow foundations, and thus were used as the model inputs. Throughout the study, depth of footing was limited to 1.5 m below existing ground level and water table depth taken at the level of the footing. Performance comparison of the developed models (in terms of coefficient of determination, root mean square error, and mean absolute error) revealed that the developed artificial neural network models could be effectively used for predicting the allowable bearing capacity and elastic settlement. As such, the developed models can be used at the preliminary stage of estimating the allowable bearing capacity and settlements of shallow foundations on granular soils, instead of the conventional methods. 相似文献

Modeling of a permeate flux of cross-flow membrane filtration of colloidal suspensions: A wavelet network approach 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Although traditional artificial neural networks have been an attractive topic in modeling membrane filtration, lower efficiency by trial-and-error constructing and random initializing methods often accompanies neural networks. To improve traditional neural networks, the present research used the wavelet network, a special feedforward neural network with a single hidden layer supported by the wavelet theory. Prediction performance and efficiency of the proposed network were examined with a published experimental dataset of cross-flow membrane filtration. The dataset was divided into two parts: 62 samples for training data and 329 samples for testing data. Various combinations of transmembrane pressure, filtration time, ionic strength and zeta potential were used as inputs of the wavelet network so as to predict the permeate flux. Through the orthogonal least square alogorithm, an initial network with 12 hidden neurons was obtained which offered a normalized square root of mean square of 0.103 for the training data. The initial network led to a wavelet network model after training procedures with fast convergence within 30 epochs. Futher the wavelet network model accurately depicted the positive effects of either transmembrane pressure or zeta potential on permeate flux. The wavelet network also offered accurate predictions for the testing data, 96.4 % of which deviated the measured data within the ± 10 % relative error range. Moreover, comparisons indicated the wavelet network model produced better predictability than the back-forward backpropagation neural network and the multiple regression models. Thus the wavelet network approach could be employed successfully in modeling dynamic permeate flux in cross-flow membrane filtration. 相似文献

Complexation-microfiltration process for removal of heavy metal ions such as lead, cadmium and zinc from water had been investigated. Two soluble derivates of cellulose was selected as complexing agents. The dependence of the removal efficiency from the operating parameters (pH value, pressure, concentration of metal ion, concentration of complexing agent and type of counter ion) was established. Two approaches of preparation of input data and two different artificial neural network architectures, general regression neural network and back-propagation neural network have been used for modeling of experimental data. The extrapolation ability of selected architectures, i.e., the prediction of rejection coefficient with inputs beyond the calibration range of original model, was also determined. The predictions were successful, and after evaluation of performances, the models that were developed gave relatively good results of mean absolute percentage error from 4 to 14% and R-squared from 0.717 to 0.852 for general regression neural network and from 0.897 to 0.955 for back-propagation neural network. 相似文献

Accumulation of heavy metals in soil and uptake by plant species with phytoremediation potential 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13

Contamination of heavy metals represents one of the most pressing threats to water and soil resources, as well as human health.
Phytoremediation can be potentially used to remediate metal contaminated sites. In this study, concentrations of copper, zinc,
iron, and magnesium accumulated by native plant species were determined in field conditions of Hame Kasi iron and copper mine
in the central part of Iran in Hamadan province. The results showed that metal accumulation by plants differed among species
and tissue bodies. Species grown in substrata with elevated metals contained significantly higher metals in plants. Metals
accumulated by plants were mostly distributed in root tissues, suggesting that an exclusion strategy for metal tolerance exists
widely amongst them. The mentioned species could accumulate relatively higher metal concentrations far above the toxic concentration
in the plant shoots. With high translocation factor, metal concentration ratio of plant shoots to roots indicates internal
detoxification metal tolerance mechanism; thus, they have potential for phytoextraction. The factors affecting metal accumulation
by plant species including metal concentrations, pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient status in substrata were measured.
Mostly, concentrations of zinc and copper in both aboveground and underground tissues of the plants were significantly, positively
related to their total in substrata, while iron, zinc, and copper were negatively correlated to soil phosphorus. 相似文献

The hypothesis that freshwater tidal wetlands act as sinks for heavy metals was tested using sewage sludge applied biweekly from March to October 1981 at low treatment (25 g m?2 wk?1) and high treatment (100 g m?1) levels. No differences in aboveground macrophyte standing crop were found except in June when high and low treatment sites had significantly higher (p=0.05) standing crops than control sites. Except for chromium, metal standing stocks in the vegetation on treatment sites did not increase as a result of sludge application. The March litter had significantly higher (p=0.05) concentrations of chromium, copper, lead, and nickel at all sites than the October vegetation, but only high and low treatment litter chromium levels were significantly higher (p=0.05) than control litter. When sludge application terminated in October, the top 5 cm of soil at the high and low treatment sites had retained, respectively, 47 and 43% of the cadmium, 53 and 28% of the chromium, 52 and 0% of the copper, 51 and 0% of the zinc, 31 and 0% of the lead, and 0 and 0% of the nickel applied; only cadmium (15 and 46%, respectively) and chromium (12 and 28%, respectively) were still retained the following March. Thus, freshwater tidal wetlands can retain significant quantities of heavy metals associated with sewage sludge. The vegetation and litter play minor roles while the soil plays a major role in heavy metal retention. 相似文献

In the blasting operation, risk of facing with undesirable environmental phenomena such as ground vibration, air blast, and flyrock is very high. Blasting pattern should properly be designed to achieve better fragmentation to guarantee the successfulness of the process. A good fragmentation means that the explosive energy has been applied in a right direction. However, many studies indicate that only 20–30 % of the available energy is actually utilized for rock fragmentation. Involvement of various effective parameters has made the problem complicated, advocating application of new approaches such as artificial intelligence-based techniques. In this paper, artificial neural network (ANN) method is used to predict rock fragmentation in the blasting operation of the Sungun copper mine, Iran. The predictive model is developed using eight and three input and output parameters, respectively. Trying various types of the networks, it was found that a trained model with back-propagation algorithm having architecture 8-15-8-3 is the optimum network. Also, performance comparison of the ANN modeling with that of the statistical method was confirmed robustness of the neural networks to predict rock fragmentation in the blasting operation. Finally, sensitivity analysis showed that the most influential parameters on fragmentation are powder factor, burden, and bench height. 相似文献

The generation of electricity has been identified as one of the main pollutant activities, and some studies have established an increment of heavy metals in soil in the areas surrounding these plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the soil concentrations of heavy metals in the zone surrounding a thermoelectric power in Mexico. Thirty-two top soil samples (0–5 cm) were collected; additionally, four depth profiles (1 m) were investigated. Median concentrations for chromium, vanadium, nickel, mercury, and cadmium were 47, 47, 73, 0.02, and 0.01 mg/kg, respectively. Higher Cr, Ni, and V concentrations were observed in the soil depth profiles located closer to the plant in comparison with the concentrations found in the soil depth profile located further away from the plant; these results may indicate a possible accumulation of these metals. The geoaccumulation index results indicated that most of the sites were in the classifications of unpolluted and unpolluted to moderately polluted (classes 1 and 2). The statistical results showed that downwind of the plant in relation to the prevailing winds, there was a strong correlation between soil concentrations of chromium, copper, nickel, and vanadium. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of fuel oil at the thermoelectric plant contributed to the accumulation of vanadium and nickel in the soil of the surrounding areas, as well as chromium and copper. 相似文献

The main objective in production blasting is to achieve a proper fragmentation. In this paper, rock fragmentation the Sarcheshmeh
copper mine has been predicted by developing a model using artificial neural network. To construct the model, parameters such
as burden to spacing ratio, hole-diameter, stemming, total charge-per-delay and point load index have been considered as input
parameters. A model with architecture 9-8-5-1 trained by back propagation method was found to be optimum. To compare performance
of the neural network, statistical method was also applied. Determination coefficient (R
2) and root mean square error were calculated for both the models, which show absolute superiority of neural network over traditional
statistical method. 相似文献
