Application Potential of Cyanide Hydratase from <i>Exidia glandulosa</i>: Free Cyanide Removal from Simulated Industrial Effluents

Industries such as mining, cokemaking, (petro)chemical and electroplating produce effluents that contain free cyanide (fCN = HCN + CN<sup>−</sup>). Currently, fCN is mainly removed by (physico)chemical methods or by biotreatment with activated sludge. Cyanide hydratases (CynHs) (EC 4.2.1...
