Abstract
Artificial neural network was used to predict the synergetic effect of LIX 984N and D2EHPA on separation of iron from zinc solution The aim was to predict iron and zinc extraction as a function of pH temperature and various organic compositions Optimum number of hidden layers and nodes in each layer were determined A multilayer network with two hidden layers 4951 was applied to predict zinc and iron extraction Effect of pH temperature extractant composition and interaction of them on extraction percent was also investigated using 3D plots The modeling results showed that there is an excellent agreement between the experimental data and the predicted values
