Enzyme immobilization allows the reuse of the biocatalyst more than once without excessive loss of its catalytic activity and conveys operational and storage stability. In this work, β-glucosidase produced extracellularly by the filamentous fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa was immobilized by adsorption on Celite, silica, and chitosan. Celite was the chosen carrier for immobilization due to the high activity yield and maintenance of 65% ± 1.9 of its initial activity after seven reuses. The activity of the immobilized β-glucosidase peaked at pH 4 at a temperature of 60 °C. Moreover, the immobilized enzyme retained 23.7% ± 4.85 of the initial activity when incubated at a temperature of 90 °C during 60 min. Additionally, it retained more than 70% of the initial activity after 20 min of incubation at 50–70 °C.

The ultraviolet light combined with hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2) was applied to break down mono-ethanolamine (MEA) in an aqueous solution. The coupled UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation process (AOP) was primarily responsible for the breakdown of MEA, with pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. It was discovered that the reaction factors like MEA and H2O2 initial dosages affected reaction rates and MEA removal efficiency. The maximum removal efficiency was determined to be 77.35%. The hydroxyl ion (•OH) radical is primarily accountable for breaking down MEA in an aqueous environment. The energy consumed per reaction order calculations are performed by considering of the concentration factor of maximum degradation, in conjunction with the intensity of UV light. Overall, this work provides useful kinetic data that may be applied to the creation of an effective remediation strategy for MEA effluents.
