Abstract

The purpose of this study was to immobilize a group of enzymes isolated from a bacterial strain Pseudomonas adapted to degradation of phenol and cyanide on polyacrylonitrile membranes and to test their efficiency in biodegradation of the above mentioned xenobiotics. Ultrafiltration enzymatic membranes were tested using simulated phenol-cyanide wastewaters which contained 376 mg/dm³ of phenol and 5 mg/dm³ of cyanide. Carrying out ultrafiltration at optimal parameters being specified enabled an 89% degradation of phenol and a 65.2% degradation of cyanide after 6 hours.
