Abstract
The hydroxylated aromatic compounds, present in the industrial waste waters, constitute a great environmental problem and many different processes, such as chemical or enzymatic oxidation, were reported in order to solve this problem. In this preliminary work we studied the influence of some cyclodextrin derivatives on the oxidation of phenols by horseradish peroxidase in presence of H2O2. We found that the cyclodextrin presence promote phenols removal from aqueous solution for a large set of compounds and we started to study the kinetic of the highly reactive 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol.
