THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 954:176426. [PMID: 39326754 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 09/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
The synthetic azo dyes are widely used in the textile industries for their excellent dyeing properties. They may be classified into many classes based on their structure and application, including direct, reactive, dispersive, acidic, basic, and others. The continuous discharge of wastewater from a large number of textile industries without prior treatment poses detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Azo dyes and their degradation products are extremely poisonous for their carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic nature. Moreover, exposure to synthetic azo dyes can cause genetic changes, skin inflammation, hypersensitivity responses, and skin irritations in persons, which may ultimately result in other profound issues including the deterioration of water quality. This review discusses these dyes in details along with their detrimental effects on aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna including human beings. Azo dyes degrade the water bodies by increasing biochemical and chemical oxygen demand. Therefore, dye-containing wastewater should be effectively treated using eco-friendly and cost-effective technologies to avoid negative impact on the environment. This article extensively reviews on physical, chemical and biological treatment with their benefits and challenges. Biological-based treatment with higher hydraulic retention time (HRT) is economical, consumes less energy, produces less sludge and environmentally friendly. Whereas the physical and chemical methods with less hydraulic retention time is costly, produces large sludge, requires high dissolved oxygen and ecologically inefficient. Since, biological treatment is more advantageous over physical and chemical methods, researchers are concentrating on bioremediation for eliminating harmful azo dye pollutants from nature. This article provides a thorough analysis of the state-of-the-art biological treatment technologies with their developments and effectiveness in the removal of azo dyes. The mechanism by which genes encoding azoreductase enzymes (azoG, and azoK) enable the natural degradation of azo dyes by bacteria and convert them into less harmful compounds is also extensively examined. Therefore, this review also focuses on the use of genetically modified microorganisms and nano-technological approaches for bioremediation of azo dyes.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 279:116450. [PMID: 38768540 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the decolorization ability and detoxification effect of LAC-4 laccase on various types of single and mixed dyes, and lay a good foundation for better application of laccase in the efficient treatment of dye pollutants. The reaction system of the LAC-4 decolorizing single dyes (azo, anthraquinone, triphenylmethane, and indigo dyes, 17 dyes in total) were established. To explore the decolorization effect of the dye mixture by LAC-4, two dyes of the same type or different types were mixed at the same concentration (100 mg/L) in the reaction system containing 0.5 U laccase, and time-course decolorization were performed on the dye mixture. The combined dye mixtures consisted of azo + azo, azo + anthraquinone, azo + indigo, azo + triphenylmethane, indigo + triphenylmethane, and triphenylmethane + triphenylmethane. The results obtained in this study were as follows. Under optimal conditions of 30 °C and pH 5.0, LAC-4 (0.5 U) can efficiently decolorize four different types of dyes. The 24-hour decolorization efficiencies of LAC-4 for 800 mg/L Orange G and Acid Orange 7 (azo), Remazol Brilliant Blue R (anthraquinone), Bromophenol Blue and Methyl Green (triphenylmethane), and Indigo Carmine (indigo) were 75.94%, 93.30%, 96.56%, 99.94%, 96.37%, and 37.23%, respectively. LAC-4 could also efficiently decolorize mixed dyes with different structures. LAC-4 can achieve a decolorization efficiency of over 80% for various dye mixtures such as Orange G + Indigo Carmine (100 mg/L+100 mg/L), Reactive Orange 16 + Methyl Green (100 mg/L+100 mg/L), and Remazol Brilliant Blue R + Methyl Green (100 mg/L+100 mg/L). During the decolorization process of the mixed dyes by laccase, four different interaction relationships were observed between the dyes. Decolorization efficiencies and rates of the dyes that were difficult to be degraded by laccase could be greatly improved when mixed with other dyes. Degradable dyes could greatly enhance the ability of LAC-4 to decolorize extremely difficult-to-degrade dyes. It was also found that the decolorization efficiencies of the two dyes significantly increased after mixing. The possible mechanisms underlying the different interaction relationships were further discussed. Free, but not immobilized, LAC-4 showed a strong continuous batch decolorization ability for single dyes, two-dye mixtures, and four-dye mixtures with different structures. LAC-4 exhibited high stability, sustainable degradability, and good reusability in the continuous batch decolorization. The LAC-4-catalyzed decolorization markedly reduced or fully abolished the toxic effects of single dyes (azo, anthraquinone, and indigo dye) and mix dyes (nine dye mixtures containing four structural types of dyes) on plants. Our findings indicated that LAC-4 laccase had significant potential for use in bioremediation due to its efficient degradation and detoxification of single and mixed dyes with different structural types.

Abstract
In this study, composite adsorbents consisting of a mixture of chitosan (CTS), boron nitride (h-BN) and halloysite (HNT) were used for the adsorption of Acid Violet 90 (AV90) dye in a batch system. Adsorbents CTS, CTS/HNT, CTS/h-BN and CTS/h-BN/HNT beads were prepared by simple dropping method and dried in a freeze dryer. The beads were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and zeta potential analysis. The effects of pH (2-8) and dye concentration (50-250 mg/L) on AV90 adsorption properties of beads were investigated. In addition, Langmuir, Freunlich, Temkin and Henry adsorption isotherm models were used to examine the dye adsorption mechanism. It was observed that the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were in good agreement with the experimental data. In the dye concentration range studied, the qm values of CTS, CTS/h-BN1, CTS/h-BN3, CTS/HNT/h-BN1, CTS/HNT/h-BN3, CTS/HNT obtained from the Langmuir isotherm model was 27.62, 17.80, 10.11, 8.71, 32.57, 19.96 mg/g, respectively. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models were used to examine the adsorption kinetics of adsorbents. As a result, it is thought that the use of this study in the field of dye adsorption can be an innovative and important study.

Abstract
Enzymes with industrial significance are typically used in biological processes. However, instability, high sensitivity, and impractical recovery are the major drawbacks of enzymes in practical applications. In recent years, the immobilization technology has attracted wide attention to overcoming these restrictions and improving the efficiency of enzyme applications. Chitosan (CS) is a unique functional substance with biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and antibacterial properties. Chitosan composites are anticipated to be widely used in the near future for a variety of purposes, including as supports for enzyme immobilization, because of their advantages. Therefor this review explores the effects of the chitosan's structure, molecular weight, degree of deacetylation on the enzyme immobilized, effect of key factors, and the enzymes immobilized on chitosan based composites for numerous applications, including the fields of biosensor, biomedical science, food industry, environmental protection, and industrial production. Moreover, this study carefully investigates the advantages and disadvantages of using these composites as well as their potential in the future.

Eco-friendly TEMPO/laccase/O 2 biocatalytic system for degradation of Indigo Carmine: operative conditions and laccase inactivation. RSC Adv 2023; 13:20737-20747. [PMID: 37441050 PMCID: PMC10334265 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra03107a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The biocatalytic system laccase/TEMPO/O2 has attracted the attention of researchers over the past two decades. A variety of applications for the system include organic synthesis, modification of cellulose, and oxidative degradation of environmental contaminants. A rigorous and predictable quantitative assessment of the change in enzymatic activity under the influence of a mediator is important for such a system. In this study, the operative conditions for carrying out a model reaction for the degradation of the synthetic dye Indigo Carmine in the presence of Trametes versicolor laccase/TEMPO were determined and the enzyme inactivation under the action of a mediator and substrate was studied. The long-term stability of Trametes versicolor laccase was assessed and the regression model of the response surface of laccase activity under the influence of TEMPO was created. It has been shown that laccase is inactivated in the presence of TEMPO, but the addition of the dye, CuSO4 or CuCl2 reduces this effect. The system under study can be used repeatedly for the Indigo Carmine decolorization, however, a gradual falling rate during the process is observed from cycle to cycle. This is due to two reasons - firstly, a decrease in the enzyme activity with each batch and secondly, the consumption of the mediator (22% within 5 days). Relatively high enzyme activity (>40%) is maintained after 73 cycles (1 portion of IC contained 25 μM) using 500 μM TEMPO and 0.12 U mL-1 laccase. The laccase/TEMPO system has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of artificial wastewater containing high concentrations of Indigo carmine (0.5 g L-1). In this case, the dye solution becomes 100% colorless within 5 hours in the presence of dye bath components and within 7.5 hours in a buffer solution.

Abstract
The present study focuses on creating an antimicrobial and biocatalytic smart gating membrane by synthesizing unique core-shell microgels. The core-shell microgels are synthesized by grafting short chains of poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) onto a poly((N-isopropyl acrylamide)-co-glycidyl methacrylate)) (P(NIPAm-co-GMA)) core. Subsequently, the produced microgels are utilized as a substrate for synthesizing and stabilizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) through an in-situ approach. These Ag NPs immobilized microgels are then suction filtered over a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) track-etched support to create cross-linked composite microgel membranes (CMMs). After structural and permeation characterization of the prepared CMMs, the laccase enzyme is then covalently grafted to the surface of the membrane and tested for its effectiveness in degrading Reactive red-120 dye. The laccase immobilized biocatalytic CMMs show effective degradation of the Reactive red-120 by 71%, 48%, and 34% at pH 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Furthermore, the immobilized laccase enzyme showed better activity and stability in terms of thermal, pH, and storage compared to the free laccase, leading to increased reusability. The unique combination of Ag NPs and laccase on a thermoresponsive microgel support resulted in a responsive self-cleaning membrane with excellent antimicrobial and dye degradation capabilities for environmentally friendly separation technology.

Abstract
Increasing trends of environmental pollution and emerging contaminants from anthropogenic activities have urged researchers to develop innovative strategies in wastewater management, including those using the biocatalyst laccase (EC 1.10.3.2). Laccase works effectively against a variety of substrates ranging from phenolic to non-phenolic compounds which only require molecular oxygen to be later reduced to H2O as the final product. In this study, we performed a bibliometric analysis on the metadata of literature acquired through the Scopus database (24 October 2022) with keyword combination "Laccase" AND "Pollutant" OR "Wastewater". The included publications were filtered based on year of publication (1978-2022), types of articles (original research articles and review articles) and language (English). The metadata was then exported in a CSV (.csv) file and visualized on VosViewer software. A total of 1865 publications were identified, 90.9% of which were original research articles and the remaining 9.1% were review articles. Most of the authors were from China (n = 416; 22.3%) and India (n = 276; 14.79%). In the case of subject area, 'Environmental Science' emerged with the highest published documents (n = 1053; 56.46%). The identified papers mostly cover laccase activity in degrading pollutants, and chitosan, which can be exploited for the immobilization. We encourage more research on laccase-assisted wastewater treatment, especially in terms of collaborations among organizations.

Abstract
Microbial technology is the most sustainable and eco-friendly method of environmental remediation. Immobilised microorganisms were introduced to further advance microbial technology. In immobilisation technology, carrier materials distribute a large number of microorganisms evenly on their surface or inside and protect them from external interference to better treat the targets, thus effectively improving their bioavailability. Although many carrier materials have been developed, there have been relatively few comprehensive reviews. Therefore, this paper summarises the types of carrier materials explored in the last ten years from the perspective of structure, microbial activity, and cost. Among these, carbon materials and biofilms, as environmentally friendly functional materials, have been widely applied for immobilisation because of their abundant sources and favorable growth conditions for microorganisms. The novel covalent organic framework (COF) could also be a new immobilisation material, due to its easy preparation and high performance. Different immobilisation methods were used to determine the relationship between carriers and microorganisms. Co-immobilisation is particularly important because it can compensate for the deficiencies of a single immobilisation method. This paper emphasises that impact conditions also affect the immobilisation effect and function. In addition to temperature and pH, the media conditions during the preparation and reaction of materials also play a role. Additionally, this study mainly reviews the applications and mechanisms of immobilised microorganisms in environmental remediation. Future development of immobilisation technology should focus on the discovery of novel and environmentally friendly carrier materials, as well as the establishment of optimal immobilisation conditions for microorganisms. This review intends to provide references for the development of immobilisation technology in environmental applications and to further the improve understanding of immobilisation technology.

Abstract
The removal of Diethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP) and Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is of great importance due to their potential adverse effects on the environment and human health. In this study, two bionanocomposites prepared by immobilization of Bacillus subtilis esterase by crosslinking to halloysite and supported in chitosan and alginate beads were studied and proposed as a green approach. The esterase immobilization was confirmed by physical-chemical characterization. Bionanocomposite using chitosan showed the best degradation levels in batch tests attaining complete degradation of DBP and around 90% of DEHP. To determine the operational stability and efficiency of the system, two fixed bed reactors filled with both bionanocomposites were carried out operating in continuous mode. Chitosan based bionanocomposite showed the best performance being able to completely remove DBP and more than 85% of DEHP at the different flowrates. These results proved the potential of these synthesized bionanocomposites to effectively remove Phthalic Acid Esters.

Immobilization of laccase on chitosan functionalized halloysite nanotubes for degradation of Bisphenol A in aqueous solution: degradation mechanism and mineralization pathway. Heliyon 2022; 8:e09919. [PMID: 35865982 PMCID: PMC9294056 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e09919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
As a hazardous organic chemical raw material, Bisphenol A (BPA) has attracted a great deal of scientific and public attention. In this study, the chitosan functionalized halloysite nanotubes immobilized laccase (lac@CS-HNTs) was prepared by simultaneous adsorption-covalent binding method to remove BPA for the first time. We optimized the preparation of lac@CS-NHTs by controlling one-factor variable method and response surface methodology (RSM). The cubic polynomial regression model via Design-Expert 12 was developed to describe the optimal preparation conditions of immobilized laccase. Under the optimal conditions, lac@CS-NHTs obtained the maximum enzyme activity, and the enzyme loading was as high as 60.10 mg/g. The results of batch removal experiment of BPA showed that under the optimum treatment condition, the BPA removal rate of lac@CS-NHTs, FL and heat-inactivated lac@CS-NHTs was 87.31 %, 60.89 % and 24.54 %, respectively, which indicated that the contribution of biodegradation was greater than adsorption. In addition, the relative activity of lac@CS-NHTs dropped to about 44.24 % after 8 cycles of BPA removal, which demonstrated that lac@CS-NHTs have the potential to reduce costs in practical applications. Finally, the possible degradation mechanism and mineralization pathway of BPA were given via High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis.
