BIOCATALYST CARRIER FOR BIOREACTOR AND METHOD OF TREATMENT WITH BIOCATALYST

摘要

A biocatalyst carrier for a bioreactor contains an absorbent material and has the effect of a microfilter. Liquid or gas is treated with the biocatalyst carrier by a method which includes causing a liquid containing a biocatalyst to contact the biocatalyst carrier containing an absorbent material having a degree of swelling of at least 2 and possessing the effect of a microfilter, thereby causing the carrier to absorb the liquid and consequently allowing the biocatalyst in the liquid to be attached to the surface of the carrier, then bringing the carrier into contact with at least one of the liquid and the gas to be treated.
