  7. Abstract:
  8. In recent years, the biodegradation of micro-contaminants using enzymes has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of environment and health. Micro- and nano-scale environments play an important role in enzymatic catalysis that directly affects the activity and stability of enzymes. Therefore, setting a nanoscale environment for enzymes is very important, especially in liquids with undesirable properties (such as pH, temperature, toxicity, etc.) in this work, a method proposed in which the pH and the substrate concentration are regulated for enzymatic catalysis using a metal-organic framework, consisting of Glucose Oxidase (GOx) and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) immobilized in ZIF-8. Due to the selective diffusion function of ZIF-8 and in-situ production of gluconic acid and electron donor (hydrogen donor) using GOx, a synergistic effect of selective material diffusion and reaction on the solid-liquid interface was conducted to engineer the microenvironment of HRP to improve its stability and biocatalytic activity. The accuracy of ZIF-8 nanoparticles synthesis and engineering with enzyme immobilization was confirmed using SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, CLSM, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms (BET) analyses. The immobilized enzymes hold a higher thermal, chemical, and storage stability compared to the free enzymes. The result is not only a new method for precise control of the enzymatic reaction but also an intelligent cascade system for the effective removal of micro-contaminants in water in a green process; so that 80% and 58% removal of bisphenol-A and diclofenac micropollutants was achieved using HRP/GOx@ZIF-8 biocatalytic cascade system in 6 hours, respectively
