Zusammenfassung:Covalent-immobilization of the laccase enzyme onto the iron oxide nanoparticles was achieved using N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) as cross-linkers. The presence of sulphur moeity in the laccase immobilized nanoparticles (LNPs) observed through Scanning Electron Microscopy- Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) spectra confirmed the immobilization of laccase enzyme. The TEM analysis of iron oxide nanoparticles (FNPs), chitosan coated iron nanoparticles (CNPs) and laccase immobilized nanoparticles (LNPs) confirmed their sizes around 12, 15 and 20 nm, respectively. The effect of LNPs in degrading chlorpyrifos under field conditions was studied by simulating the conditions in a column. Column A, which was used as control showed more leaching of chlorpyrifos as compared to column B containing LNPs. The sorption coefficient (Kd) value obtained for control (column A) and LNPs containing column B were 21.6 and 112.3 L/kg, respectively. LNPs altered the Kd values of soil thereby showing lesser leaching potential. Higher the Kd value, lesser will be the leaching potential in the ground water. Copper in laccase enzyme resulted in hydrolysis of chlorpyrifos. Chitosan used for coating on FNPs and soil organic matter resulted in the adsoption of chlorpyrifos. Current results will allow a better assessment of the role of LNPs as a competent deterrent in chlorpyrifos mobility and degradation. [Display omitted] •Laccase immobilized nanoparticles degraded chlorpyrifos at simulated field condition.•Soil column with laccase immobilized nanoparticles showed reduced chlorpyrifos leaching.•Laccase immobilized nanoparticles altered the sorption coefficient of the soil.
