Patent ID: 7105337

Claim:
A method of producing a microorganism-immobilized carrier for removing an exogenous endocrine-disrupting chemical in water, the method comprising: mixing microorganisms, a hydrophilic prepolymer having a hydrophilic group, and a hydrophobic prepolymer having a hydrophobic group, wherein a mixing ratio of the hydrophobic prepolymer to the total weight of the hydrophilic prepolymer and the hydrophobic prepolymer falls within a range of 1% to 40%; and polymerizing the hydrophilic prepolymer and the hydrophobic prepolymer to form the microorganism-immobilized carrier within which the microorganisms are inclusively immobilized, the microorganism-immobilized carrier being provided with the hydrophilic group and the hydrophobic group, the microorganisms decomposing the exogenous endocrine-disrupting chemical.
