Abstract
The Enzymatic processes have been regarded as a promising alternative for the treatment of textile effluents that have high dyes content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different parameters on the decolorizing process of aqueous solutions of Remazol black dye (Reactive Black 5) by horseradish peroxidase enzyme. The studied parameters were enzyme concentration, hydrogen peroxide concentration, pH, and temperature by using a 42experimental design with triplicate at the central point. From the best condition, pH 4, higher enzyme concentration, and 3x10-4 mM of hydrogen peroxide concentration, the enzymatic treatment showed 77.7% of remazol black dye (Reactive Black 5) decolorization, showing this treatment as a promising methodology to dye removal.
