N2 - A laccase-based catalytic reactor was developed into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic device, allowing the degradation of different concentrations of the emergent pollutant, Bisphenol-A (BPA), at a rate similar to free enzyme. Among the immobilizing agents used, 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) was capable of immobilizing a more significant amount of the laccase enzyme in comparison to glutaraldehyde (GA), and the passive method (2989, 1537, and 1905 U/mL, respectively). The immobilized enzyme inside the microfluidic device could degrade 55 ppm of BPA at a reaction rate of 0.5309 U/mL*min with a contaminant initial concentration of 100 ppm at room temperature. In conclusion, the design of a microfluidic device and the immobilization of the laccase enzyme successfully allowed a high capacity of BPA degradation.
