Abstract: To carry out detoxification and decolorization of industrial waste by using Laccase immobilized hydrogel beads which are activated by a carbodiimide, hydroxysuccininimide and carbodiimide and hydroxysuccininimide. In this paper, we have found the maximum activity % of the Laccase enzyme on hydrogel beads was observed at pH 6. Maximum activity% of the Laccase enzyme on hydrogel beads was observed at 45°C. It was observed enzyme activity and substrate concentration were directly proportional. It was observed that the enzyme activity% on the hydrogel beads maintained around 80% for
30 days for 30 days. Maximum activity% of the Laccase enzyme on hydrogel beads was observed at 80% and above for 5
usage. Laccase-immobilized hydrogel beads which are activated by a carbodiimide, hydroxysuccinimide, and both of them; can be used as an economic and alternative method for detoxification and decolorization of industrial waste. Our refining systems can be acceptable as the sustainable refining system. Our results are consistent with the results of the studies in the Literatures.

Keywords: Industrial waste, Laccase immobilized hydrogel beads, carbodiimide, enzyme activity, substrate concentration
