Optimization of a laccase-mediator system with natural redox-mediating compounds for pesticide removal

Abstract

This study proposed the optimization of a laccase-mediator system to reduce pesticide levels (bentazone, carbofuran, diuron, clomazone, tebuconazole, and pyraclostrobin) on aqueous medium. Firstly, the mediator concentration of 1 mM was established (average removal of 36%). After that, seven redox-mediating compounds, namely, 2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and vanillin, were compared regarding their removal efficiency. The highest removal (77%) was achieved with the laccase-vanillin system. After this screening, the optimization was carried out by a 22 full factorial design. Variables under study were the enzyme (laccase) activity and vanillin concentration. Maximum removal (53–85%) was achieved with 0.95 U/mL laccase and 1.8 mM vanillin. Pesticide removal in reaction media was fitted to the first-order kinetics equation with an average half-time life of 2.2 h. This is the first study of the use of this natural compound as a mediator in the degradation of the pesticides under investigation. The results of this study contribute, with alternative methods, to decrease pesticide levels since they are highly persistent in aqueous samples and, as a result, mitigate the environmental impact.
