Advanced oxidation processes applied for color removal of textile effluent using a home-made peroxidase from rice bran.

Enzymes are becoming tools in industrial processes because of several advantages, including activity in mild environmental conditions, and high specificity. Peroxidase, for one, stably oxidizes several substrates. The present study aimed to develop advanced oxidation processes (AOP), using non-commercial rice bran peroxidase to remove color and toxicity of synthetic textile wastewater.
