Abstract
A method of immobilizing enzymes from Pseudomonas sp. that decompose phenol on polymeric ultrafiltration membranes is described. Transport-separation properties of neutral and enzymic membranes have been compared and the opti mal ultrafiltration process parameters of a model phenol solution have been determined. The immobilized enzyme system was applied to the biodegradatio n of phenol in coke wastewaters. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd . All rights reserved.
