Overview

Randomized trial investigates manganese peroxidase’s effectiveness in removing phenolic pollutants, suggesting a viable treatment option for industrial wastewater.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the catalytic efficacy of manganese peroxidase in degrading phenol and its derivatives in aqueous solutions.
  • Batch experiments performed under controlled conditions of pH, hydrogen peroxide concentration, and enzyme activity.
  • Optimized enzymatic system achieved over 95% substrate conversion through oxidative oligomerization.
  • Kinetic analyses monitored degradation phases and metabolites using mass spectrometry.
  • Significant substrate conversion noted, achieving ≥95% degradation for phenol, bisphenol A, and cresol isomers.
  • Short half-lives observed during initial degradation phases, with nearly instantaneous transformation of BPA and p-C.
  • Confirmatory mass spectrometry identified soluble and insoluble oligomers up to hexamers and dodecamers, validating the oxidative pathway.
