Laccase catalyzed-oxidative coupling of 3-methyl 2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone and methoxyphenols

Effect of HBT on the stability of laccase during the decolourization of textile wastewaters

“…7 The use of laccase in the textile industry is growing rapidly, since apart from the decolourization of textile effluents, the enzyme is effective in textile bleaching and even in the synthesis of dyes. 8 With regard to textile bleaching, in 1996 Novozyme (Novo Nordisk, Denmark) launched a new industrial application of laccases in denim finishing: DeniLite  , the first industrial laccase and the first bleaching enzyme acting with the help of a mediator molecule. Also, in 2001 the company Zytex (Zytex Pvt.…”

Laccase, an Emerging Tool to Fabricate Green Composites: A Review

“…Hence, it is an intracellular cellular treatment and do not affect the cellulose. Setti et al (1999) and Lund and Ragauskas (2001) Oxidative coupling of lignocellulosic molecules Lund and coworkers reported grafting of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (PAA) and guaiacol sulfonate to kraft lignin Laccase is applied to wood composites with two goals: physical modification of fiber and chemical modification of fiber. The physical modifications may include changes in the crystallinity or the morphology of the fiber surface.…”

Sustainable Textile Wet Processing: Applications of Enzymes

“…Laccases are a group of oxidative enzymes whose exploitation as biocatalysts in organic synthesis has been neglected in the past, probably because they were not commercially available. The use of laccases in the textile industry is growing very fast, because in addition to to decolorizing textile effluents, laccases are used to bleach textiles [95], to modify the surface of fabrics [106], and to synthesize dyes [81]. Therefore, laccase-based processes might replace traditional high chemical, energy, and water-consuming textile operations.…”
