Enzymes Magics Significantly Reduced the Environmental Pollution

1. Enzymes Magics Significantly Reduced the Environmental Pollution As the development of science and technology is surging forward, it has commanded the attention of the world that the environment upon which mankind depends for survival has been badly polluted. The applications of enzymes in environmental protection has received increasing attention and presents a good development prospect, which provides new technical means such as enzymes catalytic methods for environmental pollution control. Enzymes and Water Waste Treatment Enzymes and Water Waste Treatment The composition of toxic substances in wastewater is complicated, including various phenols, cyanides, heavy metals, organic phosphorus, organic mercury, organic acids, aldehydes, alcohols and proteins. Removing the toxic effects of sewage through their own life activities, microorganisms can convert toxic substances in the sewage into beneficial non-toxic substances. Currently, immobilized enzymes and immobilized cell technology are regarded as the methods to biologically purify sewage. Organic substances, such as starch, protein, and fat, can be found usually in the wastewater. It can be treated not only with microorganisms under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, but also with immobilized amylase, protease, lipase, and the like. The phenol-containing wastewater produced by the metallurgical industry can be treated with immobilized phenoloxidase. Groundwater or wastewater containing nitrates and nitrites can be treated with immobilized nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, and nitric oxide reductase. Enzymes and Biodegradable Materials Enzymes and Biodegradable Materials It is known that polymer materials have become one of the four pillar materials after steel, cement and wood. Although the production of new materials has improved the living quality of human beings, a large amount of polluted waste has, at the same time, come to accelerate the deterioration of the environment. In recent years, the development of biodegradable polymer materials has become one of the hotspots in the polymer field. Because of the advantages of light weight, good chemical stability, low price and biodegradability, they are applied to many fields, such as building materials, agriculture and medicine.

2. Traditional methods for developing biodegradable polymer materials include natural polymer modification method, chemical synthesis method, and microbial fermentation method, which have their own characteristics but the disadvantages are obvious. The enzymatic synthesis of biodegradable polymers, using enzymes as catalysts instead of chemical catalysts, has the advantages in both chemical and microbiological methods. Through catalyzing a certain chemical reaction with high efficiency and selectivity under mild catalytic conditions, the enzymatic synthesis has overcome the disadvantages of producing complex metabolites which are difficult to be separated. Enzymes and Industrial Waste Oil Treatment Enzymes and Industrial Waste Oil Treatment Up to 2 million oil is discharged into the sea every year. If not treated in time, it will lead to the death of a large number of fishes, and harmful substances in the oil, on the other hand, will enter the human body via the food chain. To treat the oil in the sea with a compound preparation containing enzymes and other ingredients will degrade the oil into nutrients, which will then multiply the oil-decomposing bacteria floating on the surface of the oil to degrade the oil rapidly. It is an emerging field to apply lipase biotechnology to recover contaminated environments and dispose of waste. Oil spills from oil extraction and refining processes, fat-containing wastes from fat processing, and waste from the catering industry can be effectively treated with lipase from different sources. Biodiesel produced via enzymatic methods is increasingly favored by people because of low cost. For example, the production cost will be significantly reduced when catering and industrial waste oil can be used as raw materials of biodiesel.
