Short description (English)	LANCE: Laccase-Nanoparticle Conjugates for the Elimination of micropollutants (endocrine disrupting chemicals) from wastewater in bioreactors.
Abstract (English)	Our goal is the proof of a new depollution concept, i.e. a nanoparticle (NP)-based technology for the re-moval of micropollutants from wastewater. Oxidative enzymes, i.e. laccases are immobilized on NP for the degradation of pollutants. NP¿s compatible with sewage treatment will be synthesised by flame spray pyro-lysis (cost effective, large scale). The particles are to be applied in reactors where they are retained, i.e. fixed-bed bioreactor coupled to a membrane filtration unit. This reactor will ensure optimal enzyme activity and allow multi-cycle use of particles.
