ABSTRACT:
Tis invention relates to a process for reducing the concentration of an organic pollutant such as phenol in an aqueous stream which comprises passing the stream through a bioreacter containing a plurality of biologically active particles comprising a hydrophobic polyurethane substrate having an effective amount of one or more aerobic microorganism capable of metabolizing at least one of said organic materials on; in or on and in said substrate in the absence or in the substantial absence of a carbon absorbent.
