Histamine was intercalated in montmorillonite by cation exchange, then a heroin molecule was loaded onto the histamine-montmorillonite with an adsorption capacity of 7.0 mg· g^-1. The hemin-histamine-montmorillonite conjugate shows high peroxidase activity as indicated by the oxidation of guaiacol, which is attributed to the activation of hemin by Fe-N complex formation between the imidazole group in histamine and the iron ion in the hemin molecule. Temperaturedependent peroxidase activity for this synthesized biomimetic material indicates that raising the reaction temperature could significantly enhance the activity of the conjugate. The biomimetic catalyst has good reusability; nearly 100% activity can be retained after three cycles. Because montmorillonite clay is widely distributed in the environment, this material offers great potential for in situ and ex situ remediation of many organic contaminants in surface/subsurface soils.展开更多

The degradation experiments indicate that pH, temperature, the addition of 2-methyIimidazole, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide influence the degradation process. Test of reusability revealed that CTAB micelles can protect hemin from destruction by H202 and that the materials can be recycled. This material can be of great use for waste-water treatment.展开更多
