Polyurethane을 이용한 Thiobacillus sp. IW의 고정화

A simple and effective method has been developed for the immobilization of the cell on polyurethane foam. Two types of commercially available polyurethane foam and Hydro-filt were tested. The ultimate purpose of the process is to produce low-cost materials for hydrogen sulfide removal which are being increasingly used for industrial application. Effect of several parameters were studied on the cell loading. These parameters were type, size, and amount of polyurethane foam. MC-70 was the best immobilization material of three type of carriers, and optical particle size was $5{\sim}8mm$ and amount of polyurethane foam was 8g/L.
