Abstract
A novel approach to preparing multifunctional composite nanofibrous membrane was developed. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous membrane was fabricated by electrospinning and then the nitrile groups in PAN copolymer was chemically modified to obtain amidoxime modified PAN (AOPAN) nanofiber membrane which was further used as a functional support for laccase immobilization. During the process of reactive dye degradation catalyzed by the AOPAN nanofiber membrane immobilized with laccase, metal ion adsorption occurred at the same time. The chemical modification was confirmed by Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to investigate the surface morphologies of the electrospun nanofibers before and after laccase immobilization. The effects of environmental factors on laccase activity were studied in detail. It was found that the optimum pH and temperature for the activity of immobilized laccase was 3.5 and 50 °C. The relative activity retention of the immobilized laccase decreased dramatically during the initial four repeated uses. After 20 days’ storage, the activity retention of immobilized laccase was still high above 60 %. It has also proved that laccase immobilized on AOPAN nanofiber membrane performed well in dye degradation and metal ion adsorption.
