Decolorization of pulp mill effluents with immobilized lignin and manganese peroxidase from Phanerochaete chryosporium

A high efficiency for the immobilization of lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase (both produced by Phanerochaete chryosporium) was demonstrated using Amberlite IRA-400 resin. Almost total enzymatic activity retention occurred in less than 30 minutes. Decolorization of Kraft E1 effluent was hig...

Description
Summary:A high efficiency for the immobilization of lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase (both produced by Phanerochaete chryosporium) was demonstrated using Amberlite IRA-400 resin. Almost total enzymatic activity retention occurred in less than 30 minutes. Decolorization of Kraft E1 effluent was higher than 50 per cent in a reaction time of 3 h without significant colour adsorption by the resin support, although colour adsorption from other effluents was demonstrated.
