An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  Online training of neuroline...

A multimodel controller design procedure combined with gain scheduling methods is evaluated for a highly nonlinear chemical process. The controller synthesis method is based on a mixed H2/H∞ problem to achieve good quadratic performance and robustness for a multimodel plant description. The performance obtained with the optimal multimodel controller, gain scheduled controllers and conventional ...

This paper addresses the issue of controlling nonlinear processes by the use of the nonlinear model predictive control formulation. To handle the nonlinearities, a neuro-fuzzy process model is suggested as a means to model processes with strong nonlinearities depending on the operating region. In this paper the neurofuzzy approach is used for the modelling and control of a strongly nonlinear pH...

This paper describes the modelling and control of a pH neutralization process using a Local Linear Model Tree (LOLIMOT) and an adaptive neuro–fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The Direct and Inverse model building using LOLIMOT and ANFIS structures is described and compared. The direct and inverse models of the pH system are identified based on experimental data for the LOLIMOT and ANFIS structur...

The present paper investigates the rheological properties of silated hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (Si-HPMC) biohydrogel used for biomaterials and tissue engineering applications. The general property of this modified cellulose ether is the occurrence of self-hardening due to silanol condensation subsequent to a decrease in pH (from 12.4 to nearly 7.4). The behavior of unsterilized and sterilize...

The decolourization ofmelanoidins was studied with a batch electrocoagulation (EC) process using aluminium electrodes. The effects of conductivity (K = 500-3000 microS/cm), initial pHi (4.2-8.2), current density (j = 2.5-7.5 A/m2), initial melanoidin concentration (C0 = 100-800 mg/L) and operating time (tEC = 0-60 min) were investigated on the decolourization efficiency. The results obtained fr...

During purification of monoclonal antibodies, viral inactivation/removal step is a mandatory to comply with the regulatory guidelines which commonly performs at low pH about 3.5 and further neutralizes it 7.0. Neutralization antibodies results formation high turbidity troublesome for processing such as filtration other chromatography processes eventually leads filter clogging increases column b...

Soil pH declined from 5.9 to 5.0 in 8 years beneath plantations of Eucalyptus saligna (Sm.) in Hawaii. In stands of Albizia falcataria, (L.) Fosberg, the soil pH change was more dramatic, declining from 5.9 to 4.6. We measured several components of soil acidity beneath four mixtures of the two tree species to gain insight on the processes responsible for the decline in soil pH. These components...

This paper proposes a hybrid model to identify the on-line pH characteristic of a neutralization plant. The hybrid model is the combination between neuro-fuzzy identification technique and first principle model. The neuro-fuzzy identification technique used training dataset to map the neutralization response curve in full ranges. The first principle model is based on material balances and chemi...

Generally, trace precious metals remaining in wastewaters generated from the refining process of precious metals are not recovered, due to a relatively high processing cost as well as various technical problems. Recovery of precious metals from wastewaters is very important for the conservation of resources and the protection of environment. However, wastewaters containing a large amount of amm...
