## Abstract Two‐phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) have been recently demonstrated to be capable of using solid polymers as the absorbing/desorbing phase. In this paper, we examine the possibility of using a siloxane‐based copolymer as this phase. Copolymers were prepared using vinyl terminated

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Biphasic systems with immiscible solvents have been studied for __in situ__ product removal, and have shown improvements in bioreactor performance, however, problems associated with solvent biocompatibility, bioavailability and operation have been identified. One alterna
## Abstract Biphasic systems such as two‐phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) have been used to alleviate biological inhibition by sequestering inhibitory compounds within an immiscible phase. The use of solid polymer beads as this auxiliary phase provides a fully biocompatible alternative to pot
## Abstract This article demonstrates the feasibility of a novel process concept for the remediation of PCB contaminated soil. The proposed process consists of PCB extraction from soil using solid polymer beads, followed by biodegradation of the extracted PCBs in a solid–liquid two‐phase partitioni
