  • How enzymatic processes can be used in wastewater treatment?
  • As mentioned above, enzymatic processes have great potential in wastewater treatment. Enzyme types and sources play a significant role in enzymatic processes. Thus, more studies are needed to explore the performance of enzymes on specific wastewater. Enzyme-based wastewater treatment has shown its feasibility on resistant pollutants removal.
  • What enzymes are used in wastewater treatment?
  • There are six kinds of enzymes and the most used ones in wastewater treatment are hydrolases and oxidoreductases (Mishra et al., 2025, Varga et al., 2019). These two enzymes can biocatalyst most pollutants in wastewater due to their wide range of substances. At present, enzymes like lipase, laccase, peroxidase have been commercially used.
  • Does enzyme-based wastewater treatment work?
  • Enzyme-based wastewater treatment has shown its feasibility on resistant pollutants removal. However, many studies were conducted under experimental/laboratory conditions and the wastewater was synthetic (Table 1), which is not conducive to practical applications.
  • Why are immobilized enzymes used in wastewater treatment?
  • Immobilized enzymes are used extensively in waste water treatment because they are less expensive, more ecofriendly, and simpler to use. In this chapter, applicability of immobilized enzyme systems for the treatment of various chemical compounds present in wastewater has been discussed.
