Study of Soybean Peroxidase Catalyzed Degradation of 4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propan-2-yl] Phenol and its Toxicological Assessment
摘要
Bisphenol A (BPA; 4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propan-2-yl], being an important industrial raw material, is a prevailing endocrine disruptor presenting a serious risk to human health and aquatic life. Classical Treatment methods are often inefficient or difficult to implement due to their persistent nature. Soybean peroxidase, being an iron-porphyrin-based metalloprotein, provides an efficient and eco-friendly alternative for degrading BPA. The present study involves purified soybean peroxidase (SBP) as a green catalyst to remove BPA from wastewater using response surface methodology (RSM) with six variables at five levels. The optimum conditions, which included 20 U/mL SBP, 30 mg/L H2O2, a 150-minute reaction time, 40 °C, and a pH of 7.0, resulted in 100% BPA mineralization, as confirmed by UV-Vis, HPLC, and LC-MS/MS.
