Abstract :
Methods and materials of immobilization of Anabaena sp. used in wastewater treatment were studied in this work .The results showed the polyurethane foam (PUF) could be an excellent organic polymer immobilization matrix, which can hold as much as 15 mg dry weight of Anabaena sp. by 1 cm3 PUF. 70.2% efficiency of Zn2+ cleansing in flowing wastewater at the speed of 3 mL/min could be reached.
