Biosorption of Hydrophobic Organic Pollutants

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: Hydrophobic organic chemicals are hazardous pollutants because of their toxicity and a strong tendency to concentrate in food chains. Biosorption is an important mechanism for the removal of these compounds in activated sludge systems. Measurement, modelling, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of biosorption and the effect of biosorption on the biodegradation of hydrophobic organic pollutants are discussed in this review.
