INOCULATED BIOPLASTIC-BASED MOVING BED BIOFILM CARRIERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a moving bed biofilm carrier (MBBC) having the shape of a Kaldnes-like carrier, characterized in that it is inoculated with one or more microbial strain(s) and is manufactured from bioplastic. In addition, the present invention is also directed to the use of the bioplastic-based moving bed biofilm carriers according to the invention for the bioremediation of wastewater or water contaminated by pollutants such as for example hydrocarbons and oil-derivatives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, phytosanitary compounds, herbicides, pesticides and dyes.
