Comparative analysis of RSM, ANN, and ANFIS models showed mean square error (MSE) as 5.29809, 1.49937, and 0.24164 for adsorption of COD and MSE of 0.11726, 0.10241, and 0.08747 for prediction of TOC adsorption, respectively. The study showed that ANFIS outperformed the ANN and RSM in terms of fast convergence, minimum MSE, and sum of square error for prediction of adsorption data. The adsorption parameters were optimized using ANFIS-surface plots, ANN-GA hybrid, RSM-GA hybrid, and RSM optimization tool in design expert (DE) software. Maximum COD (88.9) and TOC (98.8) removal were predicted at pH of 7, a dosage of 300 mg/L, and contact time of 60 mins using ANFIS-surface plots. The optimization approaches showed the performance in the following order: ANFIS-surface plots>ANN-GA>RSM-GA>RSM. © 2022 Areej Alhothali et al. date: 2022 publisher: Hindawi Limited official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85129963871&doi=10.1155%2f2022%2f7874826&partnerID=40&md5=5c6cd10cb90c144d2a5f8a9fe125bd52 id_number: 10.1155/2022/7874826 full_text_status: none publication: Adsorption Science and Technology volume: 2022 refereed: TRUE issn: 02636174 citation: Alhothali, A. and Khurshid, H. and Mustafa, M.R.U. and Moria, K.M. and Rashid, U. and Bamasag, O.O.
