Laccase was immobilized onto manganese ferrite nanoparticle (MFN) and dye decolorization
from single and binary systems was studied. The characteristics of laccase immobilized
manganese ferrite nanoparticle (LIMFN) were investigated using Fourier transform
infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Direct red 31 (DR31), Acid blue 92
(AB92) and Direct green 6 (DG6) were used. A least square support vector machine (LSSVM)
was developed to predict the decolorization efficiency of various single and binary systems
based on the obtained laboratory data under different experimental conditions. Statistical
and graphical quality measures were also employed to evaluate the performance and accuracy
of the developed intelligent models. It is shown that the predictions of the designed
LSSVM models are in close agreement with the experimental data. The effects of LIMFN
dosage, pH and dye concentration on dye decolorization from single and binary systems
were evaluated. Decolorization kinetics followed MichaeliseMenten Model.
