Abstract
In this study, we investigated the transformation of atenolol (ATL) by the naturally occurring laccase from Trametes versicolor in aqueous solution. Removal efficiency of ATL via laccase-catalyzed reaction in the presence of various laccase mediators was examined, and found that only the mediator 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) was able to greatly promote ATL transformation. The influences of TEMPO concentration, laccase dosage, as well as solution pH and temperature on ATL transformation efficiency were tested. As TEMPO concentrations was increased from 0 to 2000 μM, ATL transformation efficiency first increased and then decreased, and the optimal TEMPO concentration was determined as 500 μM. ATL transformation efficiency was gradually increased with increasing laccase dosage. ATL transformation was highly pH-dependent with an optimum pH of 7.0, and it was almost constant over a temperature range of 25-50 °C. Humic acid inhibited ATL transformation through competition reaction with laccase. The presence of anions HCO and CO reduced ATL transformation due to both anions enhanced solution pHs, while Cl, SO, and NO at 10 mM showed no obvious influence. The main transformation products were identified, and the potential transformation pathways were proposed. After enzymatic treatment, the toxicity of ATL and TEMPO mixtures was greatly reduced. The results of this study might present an alternative clean strategy for the remediation of ATL contaminated water matrix.
