ResumoIn the present study, adsorption of methylene blue dye in residual agricultural biomass (orange bagasse) was modelled using o machine learning algorithm Random Forest (RF) and compared with the traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) approach. The Machine Learning was performed using Python, a free and open source programming language. The models were built and validated with a combination of 202 independent experiments aimed at separately predicting the final concentration of methylene blue (Cf), adsorption capacity (Q) and adsorbate percentage removal (R%), having as input variables: Temperature, pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, salinity, initial methylene blue concentration and rotation. The validation process of the models was carried out using the Coefficient of Determination (R2) and the Mean Squared Error (MSE). According to the obtained results, both RF and ANN models exhibited similar performances, as shown by their respective R2 values of 0.9739 and 0.9734 for Cf; 0.9932 and 0.9919, for Q; 0.9318 and 0.9257 for R%, as well as their respective MSE values of 0.0012 and 0.0016 for Cf; 0.0005 and 0.0007 for Q; 0.0015 and 0.0019 for R%. However, RF stood out due to its capacity to better capture data variation. Finally, it was possible to point out that both methods resulted in models able to satisfactorily predict all three response variables, thereby allowing less experimental effort.
