Abstract

The removal of Direct Blue 71 (DB71), by laccase (EC 1.10.3.2, p-bezenediol:dioxygen oxidoreductases) enzyme in presence of 2,2′-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS), in aqueous solution was investigated. Data on this article focused on the optimizing and modeling of DB71 removal by Response surface method (RSM) based on Box–Behnken design (BBD), through studying the effective variables as follows: ABTS dose (0.05–0.2 mM), Laccase dose (0.05–0.2 U mL−1), and pH (3–7). The results of experimental showed that laccase was able to removal DB71 with removal percentage of 83% at concentration of 50 mg L−1 after 30 min incubation in presence of ABTS 0.2 mM, at temperature 40 °C and pH 5. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for the predicted quadratic model was done and quadratic equation showed significant R-Squared (0.9969), Adjusted R-Squared (0.9914) and Adequate Precision (49.7). The lack of fit is not significant due to p-value prob > F more than 0.05.

1. Data

Synthetic dyes are known as an important pollutant in wastewater and environment [1], [2], [3]. The chemical structure of DB71, studied dye in this research, as a diazo synthetic dye are shown in Fig. 1. Data in Table 1 gives information about the levels of variables pH, laccase activity and ABTS dose, studied in this article. RSM based on BBD as a powerful technique [4], [5], [6], [7], was used and the experimental design matrix, along with the actual, predicted, and residual values of DB71 removal efficiency by laccase-mediated system are provided in Table 2. Table 3 gives information about the results of ANOVA, of data by using Design-expert version 7.0.0 (Stat-Ease, trial version) software and RSM based on BBD. According to the results of ANOVA main and interaction effects of all studied variables except interaction effect of BC (laccase dose to ABTS dose) are statically significant (p-value < 0.05). The mathematical model obtained from ANOVA was statically significant (p-value < 0.0001), and the quadratic equation using coded values of studied variables was as follows (Eq. (1));

2. Experimental design, materials and methods

2.1. Materials and analytical measurements

All of the chemicals were of the highest purity available. Laccase from Trametes versicolor (activity > 10 U mg−1) and ABTS were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). DB71 was purchased from Alvan Sabet Co. (Tehran, Iran). For assaying the laccase activity, oxidation of ABTS was monitored according to standard method which described in previous works [5], [8], [9]. Briefly, one activity unit of laccase was defined as the amount of laccase that oxidize 1μmol of substrate like ABTS per min. Dye concentration was measured by using UV–vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV 1700, Japan) through a calibration curve by analysis the maximum absorbance wavelength 584 nm and the removal percentage was then calculated [8], [10].

2.2. Removal experiments and ANOVA analyzing

Experimental design was developed using RSM based on Box-Behnken design by Design-expert software to determine the runs levels of the studied variables in this research. In order to evaluate the main and interaction effects of variables on DB71 removal and to develop a mathematical model for removal process the ANOVA analyzing was used. The DB71 removal study was done according to the method previously described [8]. Briefly, the final volume of reaction solutions were 5 mL which prepared in 0.1 M citrate sodium buffer. According to the variable matrix (Table 2), the removal reaction was started by adding laccase and incubated at 40 °C and 150 rpm for 30 min.
