An overview on biocatalysts immobilization on textiles: Preparation, progress and application in wastewater treatment

The immobilization of biocatalysts or other bioactive components often means their transformation from a soluble to an insoluble state by attaching them solid support material. Various types fibrous textiles both natural and synthetic sources have been studied as suitable material for immobilization. Strength, inexpensiveness, high surface area, porosity, pore size, availability in various forms, simple preparation/functionalization techniques made primary choice applications. This led the concept new domain called-biocatalysts on textiles. By addressing growing advancement textile, this study provides first detailed overview topic based terms preparation, progress, application wastewater treatment. fundamental reason behind necessity immobilized textile well potential preparation methods has identified discussed. overall progress performances scrutinized summarized form catalytic activity, influencing factors. review also highlighted challenges future considerations that can enhance pervasive use such sustainable green chemistry • First Journey micro nanofibrous Biocatalysts environmental remediation application.
