Optimization of color, lignin, and total phenol removal from pulp and paper wastewater using immobilized laccase: a Taguchi approach
Immobilized laccase efficiently removed pollutants than free laccase. The Taguchi L9 design optimized the process parameters, achieving over 90% degradation. SEM imaging confirmed the successful immobilization of the enzyme to the support material.
