Abstract

Laccase has a wide range of substrates and the oxidation product is water, providing an ideal choice for the biological degradation and decolorization of dyeing wastewater. This study extracted laccase from the fruiting body of Agaricus bisporus, then used o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) as a cross-linking agent and added surface-aminated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NH2-nanoFe3O4) to prepare magnetic cross-link enzyme aggregates (MCLEAs) of laccase, which was characterized by scanning electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer. The optimal temperature for the catalytic reaction of the MCLEAs was 35 °C, and the optimal pH was 3.0. The stability to temperature pH and storage stability were all enhanced. The immobilized laccase was utilized to treat amido black 10B solution, and the decolorization rate reached 92.48%. After five cycles of use, the MCLEAs of laccase could maintain 42.91% of the relative activity and 32.31% of the relative degradation ability to amido black 10B.
