Key points

  • The oxidation of naphthalene by immobilized laccase from Trametes versicolor has been performed using diverse immobilization strategies on mesostructured silica materials
  • Laccase was immobilized by physical adsorption on several SBA-15 with different textural properties and by covalent attachment on functionalized SBA-15 prepared by co-condensation method (direct synthesis)
  • The adsorption of laccase was partially reversible and showed some degree of lixiviation
  • However, covalently attached laccase to aminopropyl and aminobutyl functionalized SBA-15 exhibited important activity for the degradation of naphthalene with, respectively, 35% and 39%wt of removal in 5h
  • The aminopropyl biocatalyst retained higher activity after repeated uses than the corresponding aminobutyl
