| description |
In recent decades, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) have become
the most used method for empirical modelling and optimization of process parameters in Chemical
Engineering. This paper reports a comparative study between RSM and ANN data analysis methods for
process parameter optimization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesis. AgNPs yield was modelled as a
function of four independent variables, i.e. AgNO3 concentration, initial pH of aqueous AgNO3, reducing
agent (tri-sodium citrate) concentration and reaction time. The Design of Experiments via Face Centred
Central Composite Design (FCCCD) was conducted using Design Expert® (Version 7.0) and quantitation of
‘yield’ was captured as the estimated area under the curve of UV-vis spectral scan of the product from 350 to
420 nm with Area* as the unit. As accorded by the software, with four parameters and three levels plus
triplicate centre points, 27 experimental runs were conducted. Using both RSM and ANN to analyse the data
for optimization and generalization ability, the predicted AgNPs yield were found to be in good agreement
with the experimental results. Coefficient of Determination values (R2
) for ANN and RSM were 0.9967 and
0.9584 respectively, implies that both developed models have good fitting with the experimental data. But in
comparing the two models through the R2
and Absolute Average Deviation (AAD), ANN (R2
=0.9967,
AAD=2.63 %) shows more superior values to the RSM (R2
=0.9584, AAD=5.91%), thus ANN produced better
fitted models in predicting AgNPs yield production. In addition to comparing their modelling, sensitivity
analysis and optimization ability, response surface plot were also constructed to evaluate the influences and
interactions of input variables between the two models. |
