Abstract
The forward osmosis (FO) process is currently being studied more despite other energy-consuming processes. In addition, several works show the performance of FO membranes as its major challenges, the study of the rejection of different molecules, energy consumption, and modelling of different objectives related to this process. The main purpose of our study was to evaluate the impact of the FO membranes characteristics on the rejection of organic molecules (neutral) by modelling of the latter. However, the current work deals with the application of Support Vector Machines (SVM) for predicting the rejection of organic molecules (53) by the FO membranes. In addition, the SVM model was compared with two other models: Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The coefficient of correlation (R) for the testing data was applied to display the best SVM model. The SVM model generated with Radial Basis Function (RBF) as the kernel function showed the best R value equal to 0.8526. MLR and ANN models had R values of 0.7630 and 0.8723, respectively.
