Abstract: Formic acid is one of the major pollutants present in pharmaceutical wastewater. The sonophotocatalytic degradation of formic acid present in pharmaceutical wastewater is analyzed in this review and mathematical model is produced for the same. The mathematical model is generated by regression analysis using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to analyze & predict degradation of formic acid. This modeling and prediction helps to reduce experimental work to analyze the degradation behavior of formic acid. Modeling can also tackle insufficient data. Both ANN & SVM produced good models with negligible MSE. SVM model gave more consistent & reliable prediction compared to ANN model.
