Methods for controlling heavy metals in environmental soils based on artificial neural networks.

The problem of heavy metal pollution in soil has become a global environmental problem, and it is very important to predict and manage the heavy metals in the environmental soil in a timely manner. The changes in heavy metal content in soil have characteristics such as nonlinearity and large delay, making it difficult to predict heavy metals in soil using traditional methods. Traditional prediction methods are complex and cumbersome, which can lead to longer treatment time and easy secondary pollution. This article analyzed the Back Propagation neural network (BPNN) in artificial neural networks (ANN) and applied it to the prediction of heavy metals in environmental soils. BPNN has good nonlinear function approximation ability, so it can be well applied to complex problems such as soil heavy metal prediction. The methods of treating soil heavy metals include physical repair method, chemical repair method, microbial repair method, plant repair method, plant microbial combined repair method and so on. The use of BPNN can predict heavy metals in environmental soils through adaptive dynamic learning. However, the training time of the BPNN is relatively long and the convergence speed is relatively slow. Therefore, additional momentum terms were added to adjust the weights and thresholds of the network to improve the BPNN. In the experiment, the prediction performance of the improved BPNN was compared before and after the improvement. This article took 50 monitoring data of heavy metals in the same soil in a certain region in 2021 as sample data and predicted the content of heavy metals in the soil using improved and improved BPNN. Due to time constraints, this article only conducted experimental analysis on heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. In the first experiment, when the soil sample data was 50, the prediction accuracy of the BPNN for cadmium before and after improvement was 75.95% and 89.56%, respectively. In the second experiment, when the soil sample data was 50, the prediction accuracy of the BPNN for cadmium before and after improvement was 77.99% and 89.85%, respectively. The improved BPNN has good prediction accuracy and can effectively predict the status of heavy metals in soil. The analysis in this article can provide scientific basis for the comprehensive prevention and control of heavy metals in regional soil, and also provide reference for the development of pollution-free agriculture and ensuring food safety.
