LID - 10.3390/molecules28062569 [doi] LID - 2569 AB - Laccase immobilization is a promising method that can be used for the recyclable treatment of refractory phenolic pollutants (e.g., chlorophenols) under mild conditions, but the method is still hindered by the trade-off limits of supports in terms of their high specific surface area and rich functional groups. Herein, confined polymerization was applied to create abundant amino-functionalized polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) featuring a highly specific surface area and mesoporous structure for chemically immobilizing laccase. Benefiting from this strategy, the specific surface area of the as-synthesized PILs was significantly increased by 60-fold, from 5 to 302 m(2)/g. Further, a maximum activity recovery of 82% towards laccase was recorded. The tolerance and circulation of the immobilized laccase under harsh operating conditions were significantly improved, and the immobilized laccase retained more than 84% of its initial activity after 15 days. After 10 cycles, the immobilized laccase was still able to maintain 80% of its activity. Compared with the free laccase, the immobilized laccase exhibited enhanced stability in the biodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), recording around 80% (seven cycles) efficiency. It is proposed that the synergistic effect between PILs and laccase plays an important role in the enhancement of stability and activity in phenolic pollutant degradation. This work provides a strategy for the development of synthetic methods for PILs and the improvement of immobilized laccase stability.
