Abstract
Urease was covalently immobilized on the surface of the porous membranes with 20 and 100 nm pores. The cross-sectional areas of the membranes were identical for both sizes. The smaller pore-size in the membrane prohibited the conversion from urea to bicarbonate due to the locally uneven distribution of materials. The results of this study seem to be useful in designing a reactor for recycling wastewater generated in the semiconductor process.
