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 optimal ultrafiltration process parameters of a model phenol solution have been determined. The immobilized enzyme system was applied to the biodegradation of phenol in coke wastewaters.
