Bisphenol A (BPA) has been identified as one of the endocrine disrupting chemicals. However, the issue that BPA widely exists in various environments has puzzled people for decades. To develop highly efficient, easy separation, recyclable and reusable materials for BPA degradation in water, laccase-loaded magnetic nanoflowers (MNFs) were prepared by attaching amino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles onto the laccase-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers. Characterization results showed that MNFs were spherical, porous and hierarchical structure with an average diameter of 15 mu m to which magnetic nanoparticles was successfully attached through electrostatic force. MNFs exhibited excellent catalytic activity on BPA degradation under room temperature in the presence of ABTS. Under optimized conditions, MNFs reached 100% BPA degradation for only 5 min. In addition, it still retained over 92% of its initial activity after 60 days of storage at 4 degrees C, indicating that its thermal and storage stabilities have been improved. When the MNFs was recycled and reused 5 cycles, only 5% decrease in degradation efficiency of BPA was observed. These results suggest that MNFs possess great efficiency and reusability in the treatment of aqueous solution containing BPA and is a novel promising material. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
