Recycling of textile bleaching effluents for dyeing using immobilized catalase

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Catalase was immobilized on alumina carrier and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. Storing stability, temperature and pH profiles of enzyme activity were studied in a column reactor with recirculation and in a batch stirred-tank reactor. The immobilized enzyme retained 44% of its activity at pH 11, 30 °C and 90% at 80 °C, pH 7. The half-life time of the immobilized catalase was increased to 2 h at pH 12, and 60 °C. Acceptable results were achieved when the residual water from the washing process of H2O2-bleached fabrics was treated with the immobilized enzyme and then reused for dyeing.
