EN The development of efficient strategies for wastewater treatment to remove micropollutants is of the highest importance. Hence, in this study, we presented a rapid approach to the production of biocatalytic membranes based on commercially available cellulose membrane and oxidoreductase enzymes including laccase, tyrosinase, and horseradish peroxidase. Effective enzyme deposition was confirmed based on Fourier transform infrared spectra, whereas results of spectrophotometric measurements showed that immobilization yield for all proposed systems exceeded 80% followed by over 80% activity recovery, with the highest values (over 90%) noticed for the membrane-laccase system. Further, storage stability and reusability of the immobilized enzyme were improved, reaching over 75% after, respectively, 20 days of storage, and 10 repeated biocatalytic cycles. The key stage of the study concerned the use of produced membranes for the removal of hematoporphyrin, (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), 17α-ethynylestradiol, tetracycline, tert-amyl alcohol (anesthetic drug), and ketoprofen methyl ester from real wastewater sampling at various places in the wastewater treatment plant. Although produced membranes showed mixed removal rates, all of the analyzed compounds were at least partially removed from the wastewater. Obtained data clearly showed, however, that composition of the wastewater matrix, type of pollutants as well as type of enzyme strongly affect the efficiency of enzymatic treatment of wastewater.
