Machine learning prediction of CO₂ solubility in deep eutectic solvent-MDEA mixtures
摘要
This study introduces machine learning (ML) models to predict CO₂ solubility in mixtures of a deep eutectic solvent (tetrabutylammonium bromide: ethylene glycol, 1:4 molar ratio) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA). To ensure robust extrapolation capabilities and prevent potential data leakage, a rigorous grouped validation strategy, known as “Leave-One-Composition-Out,” was implemented, replacing conventional random data splitting. Four ML algorithms, Gradient Boosting (GBoost), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), AdaBoost-SVR, and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), were evaluated using temperature, pressure, and MDEA weight% as input features. Results revealed that the GPR model outperformed all others across all statistical metrics, achieving an
