The versatility of the existing nanomaterials' design in polymer-inorganic hybrids, with respect to their structure, composition, and architecture, opens new prospects for catalytic applications in environmental remediation. This review article provides comprehensive detail on catalytic polymer nanocomposites and highlights how they might act as a catalyst in the remediation of toxic pollutants. Additionally, it provides a detailed clarification of the processing of design and synthetic ways for manufacturing polymer nanocomposites and explores further into the concepts of precise design methodologies. Polymer nanocomposites are used for treating pollutants (electrocatalytic, biocatalytic, catalytic, and redox degradation). The three catalytic techniques that are frequently used are thoroughly illustrated. Furthermore, significant improvements in the method through which the aforementioned catalytic process and pollutants are extensively discussed. The final section summarizes challenges in research and the potential of catalytic polymer nanocomposites for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The chronic lack of effective disposal of pollutants has resulted in the detection of a wide variety of EPs in the environment, with concentrations high enough to affect ecological health. Laccase, as a versatile oxidase capable of catalyzing a wide range of substrates and without producing toxic by-products, is a potential candidate for the biodegradation of pollutants. Immobilization can provide favorable protection for free laccase, improve the stability of laccase in complex environments, and greatly enhance the reusability of laccase, which is significant in reducing the cost of industrial applications. This study introduces the properties of laccase and subsequently elaborate on the different support materials for laccase immobilization. The research advances in the degradation of EDs, PPCPs, and PAHs by immobilized laccase are then reviewed. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of laccase immobilization, as well as the advantages of various support materials, facilitating the development of more economical and efficient immobilization systems that can be put into practice to achieve the green degradation of EPs.

Abstract
Bioremediation uses the degradation abilities of microorganisms and other organisms to remove harmful pollutants that pollute the natural environment, helping return it to a natural state that is free of harmful substances. Organism-derived enzymes can degrade and eliminate a variety of pollutants and transform them into non-toxic forms; as such, they are expected to be used in bioremediation. However, since enzymes are proteins, the low operational stability and catalytic efficiency of free enzyme-based degradation systems need improvement. Enzyme immobilization methods are often used to overcome these challenges. Several enzyme immobilization methods have been applied to improve operational stability and reduce remediation costs. Herein, we review recent advancements in immobilized enzymes for bioremediation and summarize the methods for preparing immobilized enzymes for use as catalysts and in pollutant degradation systems. Additionally, the advantages, limitations, and future perspectives of immobilized enzymes in bioremediation are discussed.

Abstract
The removal of harmful chemicals and species from water, soil, and air is a major challenge in environmental remediation, and a wide range of materials have been studied in this regard. To identify the optimal material for particular applications, research is still ongoing. Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs), which combine the benefits of nanoparticles with polymers, an alternative to conventional materials, may open up new possibilities to overcome this difficulty. They have remarkable mechanical capabilities and compatibility due to their polymer matrix with a very high surface area to volume ratio brought about by their special physical and chemical properties, and the extremely reactive surfaces of the nanofillers. Composites also provide a viable answer to the separation and reuse problems that hinder nanoparticles in routine use. Understanding these PNCs materials in depth and using them in practical environmental applications is still in the early stages of development. The review article demonstrates a crisp introduction to the PNCs with their advantageous properties as a catalyst in environmental remediation. It also provides a comprehensive explanation of the design procedure and synthesis methods for fabricating PNCs and examines in depth the design methods, principles, and design techniques that guide proper design. Current developments in the use of polymer nanocomposites for the pollutant treatment using three commonly used catalytic processes (catalytic and redox degradation, electrocatalytic degradation, and biocatalytic degradation) are demonstrated in detail. Additionally, significant advances in research on the aforementioned catalytic process and the mechanism by which contaminants are degraded are also amply illustrated. Finally, there is a summary of the research challenges and future prospects of catalytic PNCs in environmental remediation.

Abstract
The bio-enzyme degradation technology is a promising approach to sustainably remove pollution in the water and laccase is one of the most widely used enzymes in this area. Nevertheless, the further industrial application of laccase is limited by low stability, short service, low reusability and high price. The immobilization technology can significantly improve the stability and reusability of enzymes and thus promoting their industrial applications. Nanocomposite materials have been developed and applied in the efficient immobilization of laccase due to their superior physical, chemical, and biological performance. This paper presents a comprehensive review of various nanocomposite immobilization methods for laccase and the consequent changes in enzymatic properties post-immobilization. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis is conducted on the factors that impact laccase immobilization and its water removal efficiency. Furthermore, this review examines the effectiveness of common contaminants' removal mechanisms while summarizing and discussing issues related to laccase immobilization on nanocomposite carriers. This review aims to provide valuable guidance for enhancing laccase immobilization efficiency and enzymatic water pollutant removal.

Abstract
Environmental concerns due to the release of industrial wastewater contaminated with dyes are becoming more and more intense with the increasing industrialization. Decolorization of industrial effluents has become the top priority due to the continuous demand for color-free discharge into the receiving water bodies. Different dye removal techniques have been developed, among which biodegradation by laccase enzyme is competitive. Laccase, as a green catalyst, has a high catalytic activity, generates less toxic by-products, and has been extensively researched in the field of remediation of dyes. However, laccase's significant catalytic activity could only be achieved after an effective immobilization step. Immobilization helps strengthen and stabilize the protein structure of laccase, thus enhancing its functional properties. Additionally, the reusability of immobilized laccase makes it an attractive alternative to traditional dye degradation technologies and in the realistic applications of water treatment, compared with free laccase. This review has elucidated different methods and the carriers used to immobilize laccase. Furthermore, the role of immobilized laccase in dye remediation and the prospects have been discussed.

Abstract
In this study, pomegranate peels (PPs) as an abundant fruit processing waste was used to produce cost-effective, eco-friendly, and high-quality activated carbon. The produced carbon (fossil free activated carbon) was used for immobilizing laccase to remove a range of emerging pollutants namely diclofenac, amoxicillin, carbamazepine, and ciprofloxacin from water and wastewater. The loaded activated carbon by laccase (LMPPs) and the unloaded one (MPPs) were characterized using advanced surface chemistry analysis techniques. MPPs was found to have a porous structure with a large surface area and an abundance of acidic functional groups. Laccase immobilization reduced surface area but added active degradation sites. The optimal immobilization parameters were determined as pH 4, 35 °C, and a laccase concentration of 2.5 mg/mL resulting in a 69.8% immobilization yield. The adsorption of the emerging pollutant onto MPPs is best characterized as a spontaneous endothermic process that adheres to the Langmuir isotherm and first-order kinetics. Using synergistic adsorption and enzymatic degradation, the target pollutants (50 mg/L) were eliminated in 2 h. In both water types, LMPPs outperformed MPPs. This study shows that pomegranate peels can effectively be harnessed as an enzyme carrier and adsorbent for the removal of emerging pollutants even from a complex sample matrix. The removal of contaminants from wastewater lasted five cycles, whereas it continued up to six cycles for water.

Abstract
In the present study, Tricholoma giganteum AGHP laccase was immobilized on amino-functionalized cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CdO NPs) which was carried out by glutaraldehyde. The synthesized CdO NPs were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis which reflected the NPs had an average size of 35 nm with hexagonal and irregular shapes. Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) study of laccase with amino-functionalized CdO (lac-CdO) NPs confirmed the crosslinking of laccase with CdO NPs. With immobilized laccase, a shift in pH (5.5) and temperature (35 ℃) optima was observed, when compared to free laccase (pH 4.5, 30 ℃). Lac-CdO NPs displayed 1.15 times higher stability (90 ± 0.47%) than free laccase (78 ± 0.69%) at optimum pH of 5.5. Immobilized laccase showed 1.19-fold improvement in thermal stability and 2.25-fold increment in half-life after 3 h of incubation at 50 ℃ as compared to free laccase. Recycling capability study demonstrated that lac-CdO NPs were able to retain 85 ± 0.68% of relative activity at the end of 20th 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzthiozoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) oxidation cycle. In addition, lac-CdO NPs showed remarkable reusability in catalysing various organic synthesis reactions even after several cycle of catalysis. Furthermore, the interactions of organic synthesis reactions and interacted residues were observed by assessing the molecular docking poses of T. giganteum laccase with substrates. The obtained results would be advantageous to develop a biocatalyst over a chemical catalyst for effective synthesis of potent organics having industrial importance.

Abstract
Various membranes are playing more and more important roles in the field of analytical and preparative applications of general interest, and some of them have been used in enantioresolution for amino acids (AAs) or similar bioactive molecules. In this study, a new composite membrane was prepared with chiral ionic liquid (CIL) of [BuPyro] [L-Pro] as chiral selector together with multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and additives through a simple way for the first time. Based on such a separation medium, the enantioresolution of amino acid enantiomers were achieved by forming ternary ligand complexes with Cu(II). It was comprehensively characterized by various ways, and key preparation conditions were discovered. After comparing the performance of three operation modes on the resolution of racemic phenylalanine, the effects of main influential factors were investigated and enantiomeric excess value (e.e.%) was 90.2% for the (D,L)-Phe aqueous solution (membrane thickness: 0.15±0.02 mm, total weight: 80 mg, CIL: 41.7%). Through effective desorption, up to 98.1% of the target was recovered. Finally, the mechanism of resolution was revealed by molecular simulation, kinetics and isotherm models, and the difference of interactive energy between ternary complexes of L-Phe-Cu(II)-CIL and D-Phe-Cu(II)-CIL was calculated as 1.56 kcal/mol. The membrane also remained stable after the post-treatment and showed good potential in chiral separation.

Abstract
Enzymes with their environment-friendly nature and versatility have become highly important 'green tools' with a wide range of applications. Enzyme immobilization has further increased the utility and efficiency of these enzymes by improving their stability, reusability, and recyclability. Biomass-derived matrices when used for enzyme immobilization offer a sustainable solution to environmental pollution and fuel depletion at low costs. Biochar and other biomass-derived carbon materials obtained are suitable for the immobilization of enzymes through different immobilization strategies. Environmental pollution has become an utmost topic of research interest due to an ever-increasing trend being observed in anthropogenic activities. This has widely contributed to the release of various toxic effluents into the environment in their native or metabolized forms. Therefore, more focus is being directed toward the utilization of immobilized enzymes in the bioremediation of water and soil, biofuel production, and other environmental applications. In this review, up-to-date literature concerning the immobilization and potential uses of enzymes immobilized on biomass-derived carbon materials has been presented.

Abstract
Over the last few years, the list of water contaminants has grown tremendously due to many anthropogenic activities. Various conventional technologies are available for water and wastewater treatment. However, micropollutants of emerging concern (MEC) are posing a great threat due to their activity at trace concentration and poor removal efficiency by the conventional treatment processes. Advanced technology like membrane technology can remove MEC to some extent. However, issues like the different chemical properties of MEC, selectivity, and fouling of membranes can affect the removal efficiency. Moreover, the concentrate from the membrane filtration may need further treatment. Enzymatic degradation of pollutants and foulants is one of the green approaches for removing various contaminants from the water as well as mitigating membrane fouling. Biocatalytic membranes (BCMs), in which enzymes are immobilized on membranes, combines the advantages of membrane separation and enzymatic degradation. This review article discussed various commonly used enzymes in BCMs for removing MEC and fouling. The majorly used enzymes were oxidoreductases and hydrolases for removing MEC, antifouling, and self-cleaning ability. The various BCM synthesis processes based on entrapment, crosslinking, and binding have been summarized, along with the effects of the addition of the nanoparticles on the performances of the BCMs. The scale-up, commercial viability, challenges, and future direction for improving BCMs have been discussed and shown bright possibilities for these new generation membranes.

Abstract
Membrane technology is widely used in water and wastewater treatment. However, membrane fouling remains one of the biggest challenges for membrane applications. In this study, an electrically assisted technique was developed for the control of fouling on flat-sheet ceramic membranes. The novel conductive membrane was fabricated by coating dopamine and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto the surface of an α-alumina membrane support to form a conductive CNT coating. The resulting flat-sheet conductive ceramic membrane (FSCCM) exhibited excellent electric conductivity and stability, which performed well in filtration of the synthetic wastewater containing inorganic matter (kaolin solution) or organic pollutants (oil emulsion). By applying a negative charge on the FSCCM with a DC voltage of 2.0 V, the membrane fouling rate was reduced by approximately 50%. The energy consumption rate for the electrically assisted membrane fouling control was only 22.2 × 10-3 kWh/m3 in paused-charge mode, with a pause duration of 15 s. A fouling-layer analysis indicted that the imposed electric field greatly reduced the amount of strongly attached foulants on the membrane surface and in the membrane pores. It is believed that the electric field exerted an electrostatic force on the negatively charged pollutants, such as particles and oil droplets, which prevented the foulants from attaching to the membrane surface. This FSCCM-based method provides a clean, effective, and energy-efficient technique for membrane fouling control, thereby enabling high-rate membrane filtration.

Abstract
As an alternative to classical batch processes, enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis can also be carried out continuously. To facilitate this, a continuous ceramic capillary membrane reactor system (CCCMRS) was developed which can be operated with various proteolytic enzymes immobilized on the porous ceramic capillary membranes. This system has several advantages over common batch processes regarding stability, reproducibility and controllability and can easily be adapted to optimal reaction conditions and individual preferences. Two exemplary applications utilizing the CCCMRS were carried out and investigated in long-term stability studies. In the first application the continuous enzymatic cleavage of human IgG into the antibody fragments Fab and Fc by immobilized papain was performed. A total volume of 22 mL of 1 mg mL-1 IgG-solution was enzymatically cleaved over a period of 33.3 h. The antibody cleavage products could be detected in an SEC-HPLC over the whole process time thus indicating long-term stability of the continuous hydrolysis process. The second application investigated the continuous digestion of pea and almond protein isolates by immobilized Alcalase resulting in the generation of a large variety of different peptides. This peptide fingerprint remains constant over a long period of time enabling fractionation and thus making the peptides accessible for further bioactivity studies in sufficient quantities. The constant peptide fingerprint could be shown in the RP-HPLC analysis for all 30 samples with a total volume of 29.7 mL collected over a period of 45 h.

Abstract
In a global context where the development of more environmentally conscious technologies is an urgent need, the demand for enzymes for industrial processes is on the rise. Compared to conventional chemical catalysts, the implementation of biocatalysis presents important benefits including higher selectivity, increased sustainability, reduction in operating costs and low toxicity, which translate into cleaner production processes, lower environmental impact as well as increasing the safety of the operating staff. Most of the currently available commercial enzymes are of mesophilic origin, displaying optimal activity in narrow ranges of conditions, which limits their actual application under industrial settings. For this reason, enzymes from extremophilic microorganisms stand out for their specific characteristics, showing higher stability, activity and robustness than their mesophilic counterparts. Their unique structural adaptations allow them to resist denaturation at high temperatures and salinity, remain active at low temperatures, function at extremely acidic or alkaline pHs and high pressure, and participate in reactions in organic solvents and unconventional media. Because of the increased interest to replace chemical catalysts, the global enzymes market is continuously growing, with hydrolases being the most prominent type of enzymes, holding approximately two-third share, followed by oxidoreductases. The latter enzymes catalyze electron transfer reactions and are one of the most abundant classes of enzymes within cells. They hold a significant industrial potential, especially those from extremophiles, as their applications are multifold. In this article we aim to review the properties and potential applications of five different types of extremophilic oxidoreductases: laccases, hydrogenases, glutamate dehydrogenases (GDHs), catalases and superoxide dismutases (SODs). This selection is based on the extensive experience of our research group working with these particular enzymes, from the discovery up to the development of commercial products available for the research market.

Abstract
Autonomously propelled micro/nanobots are one of the most advanced and integrated structures which have been fascinated researchers owing to its exceptional property that enables them to be carried out user-defined tasks more precisely even on an atomic scale. The unique architecture and engineering aspects of these manmade tiny devices make them viable options for widespread biomedical applications. Moreover, recent development in this line of interest demonstrated that micro/nanobots would be very promising for the water treatment as these can efficiently absorb or degrade the toxic chemicals from the polluted water based on their tunable surface chemistry. These auto propelled micro/nanobots catalytically degrade toxic pollutants into non-hazardous compounds more rapidly and effectively. Thus, for the last few decades, nanobots mediated water treatment gaining huge popularity due to its ease of operation and scope of guided motion that could be monitored by various external fields and stimuli. Also, these are economical, energy-saving, and suitable for large scale water treatment, particularly required for industrial effluents. However, the efficacy of these bots hugely relies on its design, characteristic of materials, properties of the medium, types of fuel, and surface functional groups. Minute variation for one of these things may lead to a change in its performance and hinders its dynamics of propulsion. It is deemed that nanobots might be a smart choice for using these as the new generation devices for treating industrial effluents before discharging it in the water bodies, which is a major concern for human health and the environment.

Abstract
The occurrence of micropollutants (MPs) including steroid hormones is a global environmental and health challenge. Carbon-based nanoparticles can be incorporated with water treatment processes to allow MP removal by adsorption. The aim was to compare the suitability of such nanoparticles (graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes and C60) to adsorb steroid hormones for later incorporation in membrane composites. All nanoparticles displayed fast kinetics; carbon nanotubes and graphene showed high adsorption capacities for hormones undeterminable in isotherm studies (over 10 mg/g). External surface adsorption appears to be the most prominent factor impacting adsorption performance. Structure, conformation, geometry and surface charge of nanoparticles can influence the accessibility of surface area through colloidal instability in aqueous solution. Mechanism inspection shows that adsorption initiates at long ranges (up to 10 nm) through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. At relatively short ranges (0.2-0.5 nm), adsorption is enhanced by π/π stacking, XH / π (X = C, O) interactions, van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding. Both long- and short-range forces transporting hormones from the liquid bulk into the adsorbed phase could control the rate. With relatively short residence time required and high adsorption capacity, carbon nanotubes and graphene are promising for incorporation in a membrane composite.

Abstract
The presence of pharmaceutical micropollutants in water and wastewater is considered a serious environmental issue. To eliminate these pollutants, biodegradation of pharmaceuticals using enzymes such as laccase, is proposed as a green method. In this study, immobilized laccase was used for the removal of two model pharmaceutical compounds, carbamazepine and diclofenac. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized as a tailor-made support for enzyme immobilization. Covalently immobilized laccase from Trametes hirsuta exhibited remarkable activity and activity recovery of 4.47 U/cm2 and 38.31%, respectively. The results also indicated improvement in the operational and thermal stability of the immobilized laccase compared to free laccase. Finally, by using immobilized laccase in a mini-membrane reactor, removal efficiencies of 27% in 48 h and 95% in 4 h were obtained for carbamazepine and diclofenac, respectively. The findings suggest that immobilized laccase on PVDF/MWCNT membranes is a promising catalyst for large-scale water and wastewater treatment which is also compatible with existing treatment facilities.

Abstract
Biocatalytic membrane takes advantages of reaction-separation integration as well as enzyme immobilization, which has attracted increasing attentions in online detection and biomanufacturing. However, the high preparation cost, inferior comprehensive performance, and low stability limit its applications. Thus, besides enzyme immobilization, more efforts should be made in biocatalytic membrane configuration design for a specific application to enhance the synergistic effect of reaction and separation and improve its operating stability. This review summarized the recent progress on biocatalytic membrane preparation, discussed different membrane configurations for various applications, finally proposed several challenges and possible solutions, which provided directions and guides for the development and industrialization of biocatalytic membrane.

Abstract
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a low-pressure membrane that yields higher permeate flux and saves significant operating costs compared to high-pressure membranes; however, studies addressing the combined improvement of anti-organic and biofouling properties of UF membranes are lacking. This study investigated the fouling resistance and antimicrobial property of a UF membrane via silver phosphate nanoparticle (AgPNP) embedded polyelectrolyte (PE) functionalization. Negatively charged polyacrylic acid (PAA) and positively charged polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) were deposited on the membrane using a fluidic layer-by-layer assembly technique. AgPNPs were immobilized within the crosslinked "bilayers" (BL) of PAH/PAA. The effectiveness of AgPNP immobilization was confirmed by microprofile measurements on membrane surfaces using a solid contact Ag micro-ion-selective electrode. Upon stable and uniform BL formation on the membrane surface, the permeate flux was governed by a combined effect of PAH/PAA-derived hydrophilicity and surface/pore coverage by the BLs "tightening" of the membrane. When fouled by a model organic foulant (humic acid), the functionalized membrane exhibited a lower flux decline and a greater flux recovery due to the electrostatic repulsion imparted by PAA when compared to the unmodified membrane. The functionalization rendered antimicrobial property, as indicated by fewer attachments of bacteria that initiate the formation of biofilms leading to biofouling.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, phenol oxidases, particularly laccases and tyrosinases, have been extensively used for the removal of numerous pollutants in wastewaters due to their broad substrate specificity and their ability to use readily accessible molecular oxygen as the essential cofactor. As for other enzymes, immobilisation of laccases and tyrosinases has been shown to improve the performance and efficiency of the biocatalysts in solution. Several reviews have addressed the enzyme immobilisation techniques and the application of phenol oxidases to decontaminate wastewaters. This paper offers an overview of the recent publications, mainly from 2012 onwards, on the various immobilisation techniques applied to laccases and tyrosinases to induce and/or increase the performance of the biocatalysts. In this paper, the emphasis is on the efficiencies achieved, in terms of structural modifications, stability and resistance to extreme conditions (pH, temperature, inhibitors, etc.), reactivity, reusability, and broad substrate specificity, particularly for application in bioremediation processes. The advantages and disadvantages of several enzyme immobilisation techniques are also discussed. The relevance and effectiveness of the immobilisation techniques with respect to wastewater decontamination are critically assessed. A perspective on the future directions for large-scale application of the phenol oxidases in immobilised forms is provided.

Abstract
Biomimetic dynamic membrane (BDM) has been employed as a promising membrane separation technology regarding water/wastewater treatment (Model pollutant is methylene blue). Given its catalytic function on micro-pollutant removal and fouling control, detailed mechanism for impacts of fabrication method, carriers (CNT and GO) and laccase on the construction of biomimetic layer and enzyme immobilization have not been clear so far. In this work, the BDM performance with various fabrication methods, carriers and laccase were investigated and verified. The BDM fabrication tests demonstrated that BDM with mixed filtration method had better filtration performance (up to 120 L m-2 h-1 flux and 80% removal rate) than BDM with stepwise filtration method. Moreover, the laccases immobilized on GO exhibited a stronger laccase activity than those on CNT. Increasing CNT or GO dosage strengthened removal rate, but lowered flux, meanwhile flux and removal rate exhibited a significant fluctuation with certain laccase dosage. At 25 g m-2 CNT or GO dosage and 50 g m-2 laccase dosage, the optimized flux and removal rate values were obtained. Further study investigated the surface morphology and property of BDM, showing that BDM with mixed filtration method turned out to be the optimized enzyme immobilization mechanism and fabrication method. In addition, during multiple filtration cycles, with the optimized conditions, the removal rate, flux and laccase activity of BDM could maintain at high levels. On account of the finding of the present study, selecting a suitable fabrication method, appropriate CNT or GO dosage and laccase dosage can indeed optimize the structure of biomimetic layer and enzyme immobilization, expanding its possibility on sustainable operation.

Abstract
The occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is recognized as one of the emerging issues in environmental chemistry. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals (and their metabolites) from domestic wastewaters. The treatability of pharmaceutical compounds in WWTPs varies considerably depending on the type of compound since their biodegradability can differ significantly. As a consequence, they may reach the aquatic environment, directly or by leaching of the sludge produced by these facilities. Currently, the technologies under research for the removal of pharmaceuticals, namely membrane technologies and advanced oxidation processes, have high operation costs related to energy and chemical consumption. When chemical reactions are involved, other aspects to consider include the formation of harmful reaction by-products and the management of the toxic sludge produced. Research is needed in order to develop economic and sustainable treatment processes, such as bioremediation and biosorption. The use of low-cost materials, such as biological matrices (e.g., algae and fungi), has advantages such as low capital investment, easy operation, low operation costs, and the non-formation of degradation by-products. An extensive review of existing research on this subject is presented.

Abstract
Microenvironment plays a significant role in enzymatic catalysis, which directly influences enzyme activity and stability. It is important to regulate the enzyme microenvironment, especially for the liquid with unfavored properties (e.g., pH and dissolved oxygen). In this work, we propose a methodology that can regulate pH and substrate concentration for enzymatic catalysis by a biocatalytic membrane, which is composed of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) co-immobilized in a polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membrane (i.e., beneath the separation layer). By virtue of the selective separation function of NF membrane and in situ production of organic acid/electron donor with GOx, a synergism effect of separation and reaction in the liquid/solid interface was manipulated for engineering the microenvironment of HRP to enhance its activity and stability for micropollutant removal in water. The outcome of this work not only provides a new methodology to precisely control enzymatic reaction but also offers a smart membrane system to efficiently and steadily remove the micropollutants in portable water.

Abstract
This study utilized physical adsorption and filtration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and laccases to fabricate biomimetic dynamic membrane (BDM) for the advanced treatment of dye wastewater. In BDM, the adsorption, enzymatic degradation and membrane separation demonstrated a synergism effect on pollutant removal. At first, the fabrication methods of BDM were investigated, and the mixed filtration for laccases and CNTs showed a better performance than the stepwise filtration. Furthermore, the operation parameters of BDM, including CNTs and laccase loading amounts, dye concentration, agitation speed and transmembrane pressure (TMP), were studied. Suitable CNTs and laccase amounts could reduce filtration resistance and increase catalysis efficiency, while moderate TMP and agitation speed were in favor of boosting the BDM structure for catalysis and permeability. Optimized operation parameters (CNT loading amount = 20 g m-2, laccase loading amount = 74.6 g m-2, agitation speed = 100 rpm, and TMP = 1.0 bar) sustained a high removal rate, and the flux was over 120 L m-2 h-1, even for 7 operation cycle' tests. BDM exhibited an excellent dye removal rate, stable flux and great antifouling capacity, on the ground that adsorption saturation and foulant may be alleviated "online and in-situ" by the enzymatic degradation. Afterwards, the bionic layer on BDM, after absorption saturation and catalyst deactivation, could be eliminated rapidly by carrying out a simple backwash cleaning operation, then a new one could be fabricated immediately. Therefore, BDM is a good candidate for functional membrane materials in future water treatment.

Abstract
Effective micropollutant removal requires energy intensive advanced treatment processes. A novel hybrid membrane configuration - consisting of both ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) - with permeate-side polymer-based activated carbon (PBSAC) was developed and investigated for the removal of natural hormones with a particular focus on estradiol (E2). The UF-PBSAC process offers significantly enhanced water permeability and hence energy efficiency, while NF-PBSAC was anticipated to reduce residual micropollutant concentration. Realistic micropollutant concentration in the feed (100 ngL-1) can be reduced to 20-40 ngL-1 via adsorption in a thin layer (2.2 mm) of UF-PBSAC at a flux of 120-130 Lm-2 h-1. Furthermore, during the filtration of 9 L (membrane area 38 cm2), the micropollutant concentration was constant and no saturation could be achieved. Hormone removal was shown to further increase both at lower pressure (and hence flux) and thicker PBSAC layer (until 11 mm). In both cases, this effect was correlated to the increased contact time between estradiol and the PBSAC adsorbent. NF coupled with a PBSAC layer of 2.2 mm achieved a higher overall removal than the UF-PBSAC due to the intrinsic retention of NF. However, the residual NF permeate concentration was similar with and without PBSAC. Thus, the retention of hormones by NF and the adsorption inside the PBSAC layer were demonstrated to be two dependent processes. Overall, the combination of UF with PBSAC absorbent layers is a promising approach for the efficient removal of micropollutants.

Abstract
Due to recalcitrance of some pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), conventional wastewater treatment is not able to remove them effectively. Therefore, their occurrence in surface water and potential environmental impact has raised serious global concern. Biological transformation of these contaminants using white-rot fungi (WRF) and their oxidoreductase enzymes has been proposed as a low cost and environmentally friendly solution for water treatment. The removal performance of PhACs by a fungal culture is dependent on several factors, such as fungal species, the secreted enzymes, molecular structure of target compounds, culture medium composition, etc. In recent 20 years, numerous researchers tried to elucidate the removal mechanisms and the effects of important operational parameters such as temperature and pH on the enzymatic treatment of PhACs. This review summarizes and analyzes the studies performed on PhACs removal from spiked pure water and real wastewaters using oxidoreductase enzymes and the data related to degradation efficiencies of the most studied compounds. The review also offers an insight into enzymes immobilization, fungal reactors, mediators, degradation mechanisms and transformation products (TPs) of PhACs. In brief, higher hydrophobicity and having electron-donating groups, such as amine and hydroxyl in molecular structure leads to more effective degradation of PhACs by fungal cultures. For recalcitrant compounds, using redox mediators, such as syringaldehyde increases the degradation efficiency, however they may cause toxicity in the effluent and deactivate the enzyme. Immobilization of enzymes on supports can enhance the performance of enzyme in terms of reusability and stability. However, the immobilization strategy should be carefully selected to reduce the cost and enable regeneration. Still, further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in enzymatic degradation and the toxicity levels of TPs and also to optimize the whole treatment strategy to have economical and technical competitiveness.

Abstract
Application of biocatalytic membrane is promising in food, pharmaceutical, and water treatment industries, whereas enzyme immobilization is the key step of biocatalytic membrane preparation. Thus, how to minimize the negative effect of immobilization on enzyme performance is required to answer. In this work, we proposed a platform for biocatalytic membrane preparation and immobilization mechanism investigation based on polydopamine (PDA) coating, which was demonstrated by immobilizing five commonly used enzymes (laccase, glucose oxidase, lipase, pepsin, and dextranase) on three commercially available membranes via three immobilization mechanisms (electrostatic attraction, covalent bonding, and hydrophobic adsorption), respectively. By examining the enzyme loading, activity, and kinetics under different immobilization mechanisms, we found that except for dextranase, enzyme immobilization via electrostatic attraction retained the most activity, whereas covalent bonding and hydrophobic adsorption were detrimental to enzyme conformation. Enzyme immobilization via covalent bonding ensured a high enzyme loading, and hydrophobic adsorption was only suitable for lipase and dextranase immobilization. Moreover, the properties of functional groups around the enzyme active center should be considered for the selection of suitable immobilization strategy (i.e., avoid covering the active center by membrane carrier). This work not only established a versatile platform for biocatalytic membrane preparation but also provided a novel methodology to evaluate the effect of immobilization mechanisms on enzyme performance.

Abstract
This study demonstrates continuous enantiomeric inversion and further biotransformation of chiral profens including ibuprofen, naproxen and ketoprofen by an enzymatic membrane bioreactor (EMBR) dosed with laccase. The EMBR showed non-enantioselective transformations, with high and consistent transformation of both (R)- and (S)-ibuprofen (93 ± 6%, n = 10), but lower removals of both enantiomers of naproxen (46 ± 16%, n = 10) and ketoprofen (48 ± 17%, n = 10). Enantiomeric analysis revealed a bidirectional but uneven inversion of the profens, for example 14% inversion of (R)- to (S)- compared to 4% from (S)- to (R)-naproxen. With redox-mediator addition, the enzymatic chiral inversion of both (R)- and (S)-profens remained unchanged, although the overall conversion became enantioselective; except for (S)-naproxen, the addition of redox mediator promoted the degradation of (R)-profens only.
