| Summary: | The present study aimed to assess the efficiency of the water hyacinth (
Eichhornia crassipes
(Mart.) Solms) plant for the reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants from glass industry effluent (GIE) as batch mode phytoremediation experiments. For this, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) methods were adopted to evidence the optimization and prediction performances of

for total Kjeldahl’s nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (TP) removal. The control parameters, i.e., GIE concentration (0, 50, and 100%) and plant density (1, 3, and 5 numbers) were used to optimize the best reduction conditions of TKN and TP. A quadratic model of RSM and feed-forward backpropagation algorithm-based logistic model (input layer: 2 neurons, hidden layer: 10 neurons, and output layer: 1 neuron) of ANN showed good fitness results for experimental optimization. Optimization results showed that maximum reduction of TKN (93.86%) and TP (87.43%) was achieved by using 60% of GIE concentration and nearly five plants. However, coefficient of determination (R

) values showed that ANN models (TKN: 0.9980; TP: 0.9899) were superior in terms of prediction performance as compared to RSM (TKN: 0.9888; TP: 0.9868). Therefore, the findings of this study concluded that
