Application of machine learning in ultrasonic pretreatment of sewage sludge: prediction and optimization

In this research, typical industrial scenarios were analyzed optimized by machine learning algorithms, which fills the gap of massive data and industrial requirements in ultrasonic sludge treatment. Principal component analysis showed that the ultrasonic density and ultrasonic time were positively correlated with soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP). Within five machine learning models, the best model for SCOD prediction was XG-boost (R
