Abstract
The aim of this study is to simulate the transport of degraded nitrate by nanoFe/Cu particles in the length of a packed sand column A metamodeling approach based on the adaptive neurofuzzy inference system ANFIS method and a finite volume modeling of the 1D advection–dispersion–reaction equation ADRE have been used for simulation of this system A mixed order kinetic reaction model Monodtype kinetics has been used for sink/source term in ADRE In the ANFIS modeling three scenarios have been designed to determine the model’s optimum set of input–output variables The comparison results show that in spite of capability of the ANFIS as a powerful tool for dataoriented modeling the physicalbased model for advection–dispersion–reaction phenomena is more efficient in nitrate transport simulation in the presence of nanoFe/Cu particles
