In this study, the novel CuFe2O4-Graphene Quantum Dots (CuFe2O4/ GQDs) Magnetic Nano-Particles (MNPs) was prepared to amplify color signal as peroxidase mimetic using one-step hydrothermal method with electrostatic adsorption. Further combined with well-designed microfluidic chip containing enzyme inhibition reaction, color reaction and UV spectrophotometric detection areas, a colorimetric biosensor was developed based on CuFe2O4/GQDs for Chlorpyrifos determination. Experimental results of the biosensor displayed a linear range from 3.2 × 10–8 M to 6 × 10–7 M with a correlation coefficient of 0.99258 under the optimized conditions, and the Limit of Detection (LOD) of 1.07 × 10–8 M based on S/N = 3 and the sensitivity of 855.26 (absorbance) per 1 mM. Great advantages have been exhibted in the Microfluidic colorimetric biosensor due to the small volume, and high precision for determination of low concentrations of organophosphorus pesticides, largely simplifying the tedious operation and lowing LOD, which is great benefit to the further development of low-cost, portable and high-precision biosensors.","PeriodicalId":17101,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Residuals Science & Technology","volume":"135 1","pages":"255-269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79517832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Back-propagation (BP) neural network has been widely adopted in water demand forecasting in recent years. But BP performs unsatisfactorily in terms of training time and global searching ability, so in this paper we improve BP by two heuristic algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), respectively. The testing and verification of the three algorithms (BP, GA+BP, PSO+BP) have been conducted on real-life water demand forecasting of Beijing city. The obtained results demonstrate that, in spite of the execution time consumed, both GA+BP and PSO+BP performed with higher accuracy and less errors than BP. The obtained results also illustrate that PSO+BP slightly outperformed GA+BP in terms of forecasting accuracy.","PeriodicalId":17101,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Residuals Science & Technology","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78160700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, the active enzymes that remove organics were extracted from the three strains and tested for the optimal activity of tannery effluent under different temperatures, pHs, concentrations, and incubation times. The results demonstrated that all three strains (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus fusiformis) are able to remove organics in the tannery effluent. The active enzyme of Bacillus subtilis is an intracellular enzyme, whereas the active enzymes for Bacillus cereus and Bacillus spindle are extracellular enzymes. At pH 7, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus can, respectively, remove 37.79% and 35.34% of the organic waste in tannery water at 40°C. Bacillus fusiformis can remove up to 49.60% of the organic waste when the incubation time is extended to 8 h. The enzyme concentration is fixed at 2 × 10–4g for all conditions.
