Removal of Phenols from Wastewater with Encapsulated Horseradish Peroxidase in Calcium Alginate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Horseradish peroxidase was encapsulated in calcium alginate for the purpose of phenol removal. Upon immobilization, pH profile of enzyme activity changes as it shows higher value at basic and acidic solution. Investigation into time course of phenol removal for both encapsulated and free enzyme showed that encapsulated enzyme had nearly similar efficiency in comparison with the same concentration of free enzyme; however the capsules were reusable up to four cycles without any changes in their retention activity.

Removal of Phenols with Encapsulated Horseradish Peroxidase in Calcium Alginate
Horseradish peroxidase was encapsulated in calcium alginate for the purpose of phenol removal. Considering enzyme encapsulation efficiency, retention activity and enzyme leakage of the capsules, the best gelation condition was found to be 1 % w/v of sodium alginate solution and 5.5 % w/v of calcium chloride hexahydrate. Upon immobilization, pH profile of enzyme activity changes as it shows ...

The development and application of an immobilized horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on calcium alginate gel beads are reported for the successful and effective decolorization textile industrial effluent. The optimal condition for the immobilization of HRP on calcium alginate gel beads which leads to a specific activity of 15 U/g calcium alginate was identified. Upon immobilization, considering enzym...

In the light of the increasing burden of pollutants in major rivers and stringent environmental legislation, adaptation to eco-friendly treatment approaches is desperately required to decontaminate industrial effluents before its discharge to rivers and other fresh water-bodies. In present study, we have designed a simple and efficient method for removal of phenols from effluent wastewater usin...
متن کاملSimultaneous photocatalytic and microbial degradation of dye-containing wastewater by a novel g-C3N4-P25/photosynthetic bacteria composite
Azo dyes are very resistant to light-induced fading and biodegradation. Existing advanced oxidative pre-treatment methods based on the generation of non-selective radicals cannot efficiently remove these dyes from wastewater streams, and post-treatment oxidative dye removal is problematic because it may leave many byproducts with unknown toxicity profiles in the outgoing water, or cause expensi...
