Magnetic laccase nanoflowers (MNFs-Lac) were successfully prepared through encapsulating Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles into the interior of laccase nanoflowers by grafting N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid (PMIDA) as an interconnecting bridge between the magnetic nanoparticles and copper ions. The characterizations by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that MNFs-Lac were spherical, porous and flower-like crystals with diameters of similar to 10 mu m, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles were encapsulated in the interior of MNFs-Lac evenly. The enzymatic activity and reusability of MNFs-Lac were evaluated based on the degradation efficiency for malachite green (MG). The degradation parameters, concerning initial MG concentration, dosage of MNFs-Lac, reaction temperature, pH value and reaction time, were optimized through single-factor experiments. Under the optimal conditions, 25 mg center dot L-1 MG can be degraded almost completely by 1.5 g center dot L-1 MNFs-Lac within 15 min. When the MNFs-Lac were reused for 18 times, the degradation efficiency of MG was still as high as 90%. These results suggested that the modified preparation method improved greatly the reusability of MNFs-Lac, which made them more suitable to degrade MG in a water environment.
