Abstract

This research aims to study the removal of paracetamol by peroxidase extracted from cauliflower stems. The concentration of enzyme, the concentration of paracetamol, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, pH of the solution and temperature were tested. The experiments were carried out in batch system at stirrer speed 200 rpm. The results showed that the maximum removal efficiency of paracetamol was 66.47% at paracetamol concentration 1 mg/l, enzyme concentration 0.124 U/ml, hydrogen peroxide 1 mM, pH of the solution at 7 and 25 0C. The study indicated the feasibility of peroxidase for removal of paracetamol contaminated in water and can be applied in the industries and hospitals.
