Abstract
The evaluation of continuous elimination and transformation of toxic endocrine disruptors micropollutants (MPs) (Bisphenol A, Nonylphenol [NP] and Triclosan [TCS]) using immobilized laccase of Coriolopsis sp. showed the high potential of this laccase as a bio-agent for the elimination and transformation process of selected MPs. A toxicology test using Escherichia coli has shown that toxicity completely disappeared after transformation and elimination of Bisphenol A, while in cases of NP and TCS 95% and 90% toxicity, respectively, disappeared. As compared to initial activity, immobilized laccase activity remained practically constant at the end of several runs of elimination and transformation processes of MPs. This feature is promising for the use of immobilized Coriolopsis sp. laccase in a future industrial depollution process.
期刊介绍:
The Water Quality Research Journal publishes peer-reviewed, scholarly articles on the following general subject areas:
Impact of current and emerging contaminants on aquatic ecosystems
Aquatic ecology (ecohydrology and ecohydraulics, invasive species, biodiversity, and aquatic species at risk)
Conservation and protection of aquatic environments
Responsible resource development and water quality (mining, forestry, hydropower, oil and gas)
Drinking water, wastewater and stormwater treatment technologies and strategies
Impacts and solutions of diffuse pollution (urban and agricultural run-off) on water quality
Industrial water quality
Used water: Reuse and resource recovery
Groundwater quality (management, remediation, fracking, legacy contaminants)
Assessment of surface and subsurface water quality
Regulations, economics, strategies and policies related to water quality
Social science issues in relation to water quality
Water quality in remote areas
Water quality in cold climates
The Water Quality Research Journal is a quarterly publication. It is a forum for original research dealing with the aquatic environment, and should report new and significant findings that advance the understanding of the field. Critical review articles are especially encouraged.
