Descrição
Resumo:The oxidation of naphthalene by immobilized laccase from Trametes versicolor has been performed using diverse immobilization strategies on mesostructured silica materials. Laccase was immobilized by physical adsorption on several SBA-15 with different textural properties and by covalent attachment on functionalized SBA-15 prepared by co-condensation method (direct synthesis). The adsorption of laccase was partially reversible and showed some degree of lixiviation. However, covalently attached laccase to aminopropyl and aminobutyl functionalized SBA-15 exhibited important activity for the degradation of naphthalene with, respectively, 35% and 39%wt of removal in 5 hours. The aminopropyl biocatalyst retained higher activity after repeated uses than the corresponding aminobutyl.
