Abstract:
Hghly stable, reusable, and multi-functional biocatalytic microparticles with Laccase (Lac) enzyme (Lac/particles) were synthesized for bisphenol A (BPA) removal from aqueous solution. The Lac/particles were prepared by encapsulating Lac enzymes into poly ethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel via the UV assisted emulsion polymerization method followed by cross linking with glutaraldehyde (GA). The obtained Lac/particles were spherical and micron sized (137⁻535 μm), presenting high enzyme entrapment efficiency of 100%, high activity recovery of 18.9%, and great stability at various pHs (3⁻7) than the free Lac. The Lac/particles could adsorb the BPA into the catalytic particles in a short time, promoting contact between BPA and enzyme, and further enzymatically degrade them without the shaking process and independent surrounding buffer solution. The Lac/particles could be reused for another round BPA adsorption and biotranformation by maintaining over 90% of BPA removal efficiency after seven times reuse. The synergistic effects of adsorption and biocatalytical reaction of Lac/particles have significant values in high efficient and cost-effective BPA removal.
