Investigation of the usage potential of enzyme-linked polymers in different morphological structures for the removal of micropolluant from leather waste water

Increasing numbers of elements that threaten the environmental health are presenting very important problems today. Much of the pollution in aquatic ecosystems is industrial wastes. When the leather industry is considered in terms of its potential for pollution, it emerges as one of the important industries. Unlike the physical, chemical and advanced treatment methods used for the removal of micro-contaminants that are released during the transformation of the raw deep into the finished leather form, the immobilization and use of biologic methods with carrier polymers having potency to use with enzymes known as catalysts, industrial production suitable for waste water removal in the leather industry, or in other sectors the waste water to be given to the environment has been reduced. In this case, the covalent immobilization method between Trametes versicolor laccase enzyme and epoxy group-containing poly (HEMA-AGE) were optimized and the degradation conditions of Acid Black 210 dye were investigated. The results were compared with waste dye water which was released after dyeing in leather industry
