Abstract
The proposed research aims to develop a 'green' technology as an alternative to conventional chemical treatment of halide-rich waste streams that will exploit vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase from Corallina officinalis to produce synthetically-useful dihalo- or halohydrin products with water as the only by-product.
