Abstract

The feasibility of developing polysulfone (PS) membranes to partially immobilize Pseudomonas to remove phenol was investigated. In a free suspension system, the bacteria were able to grow optimally at 300 mg/L of phenol and degraded phenol almost completely in about 26 h. In a cell-immobilized membrane system, the cell growth and phenol concentration profile in the medium were very similar to those obtained in a free-suspension culture if phenol concentration was 300 mg/L. Partial cell immobilization occurred when phenol concentration decreased to about 600 mg/L.
