The study demonstrated that immobilized laccase on CTS/HNT beads can achieve efficient dye removal and has good reusability. Different parameters and mediators have significant effects on laccase activity and dye removal efficiency.
In this study, the laccase obtained from Trametes versicolor was immobilized onto the chitosan(CTS)/halloysite (HNT) beads. In the immobilization step, the effects of chitosan (1-3% w/v), halloysite (0-2% w/v), glutaraldehyde (0.5-1.5% v/v) and enzyme concentrations (1-3%) on loading and immobilization efficiency were investigated. SEM, FT-IR, XRD, TGA and XPS analyses were performed to examine the structure of beads. In addition, the effects of parameters such as pH (4-10), temperature (25-55 degrees C), storage life on the activity of free and immobilized laccase were also investigated. The activities of free and immobilized laccase preserved 23% and 56% of its initial activity at the end of 59 days of storage. The effects of mediators such as 2.2-azino-bis(3ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HBT), 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-1piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) and violuric acid (VLA) on the dye removal efficiency were investigated. Reusability of the CTS/HNT/Lac in the presence of HBT and VLA mediators, which enable the highest dye removal, was tested. After 15 cycles, 42% and 54% dye removal were achieved with the CTS/HNT/Lac in the medium containing HBT and VLA, and 42% and 49% of the activity is preserved, respectively. This study showed that CTS/ HNT/Lac can be used repeatedly for Remazol Red RR dye removal.
