Abstract
Hydrophobic organic chemicals are hazardous pollutants because of thei r toxicity and a strong tendency to concentrate in food chains. Biosor ption is an important mechanism for the removal of these compounds in activated sludge systems. Measurement, modelling, thermodynamic and ki netic aspects of biosorption and the effect of biosorption on the biod egradation of hydrophobic organic pollutants are discussed in this rev iew.
