Effects of current generation and electrolyte pH on reverse salt flux across thin film composite membrane in osmotic microbial fuel cells
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Osmotic microbial fuel cells (OsMFCs) take advantages of synergy between forward osmosis (FO) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to accomplish wastewater treatment, current generation, and high-quality water extraction. As ...
Bioelectrochemical production of hydrogen in an innovative pressure-retarded osmosis/microbial electrolysis cell system: experiments and modeling
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
While microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can simultaneously produce bioelectrochemical hydrogen and treat wastewater, they consume considerable energy to overcome the unfavorable thermodynamics, which is not ...
Oxygen reduction reaction catalysts used in microbial fuel cells for energy-efficient wastewater treatment: A review
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article Review)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as an energy-efficient wastewater treatment technology have attracted increasing interest in the past decade. Cathode catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) present a major challenge ...
Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been studied for contaminant removal from wastewater and salinity reduction in saline water. However, in an MDC wastewater treatment and desalination occurs in different streams, ...
Evolution of Seawater Desalination and Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Treatment in a Microbial Desalination Cell
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Petroleum refining, not only consumes large quantities of water but also generates large quantities of wastewater. Large quantities of petroleum refinery wastewater are generated worldwide, approximately 3.5-5 m3 of ...
Mathematical modeling based evaluation and simulation of boron removal in bioelectrochemical systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Boron removal is an arising issue in desalination plants due to boron's toxicity. As an emerging treatment concept, bioelectrochemical systems (BES) can achieve potentially cost-effective boron removal by taking advantage ...
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Anaerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ...
Mathematical modeling assisted investigation of forward osmosis as pretreatment for microbial desalination cells to achieve continuous water desalination and wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Coupling forward osmosis (FO) with microbial desalination cells (MDCs) can lead to some synergistic benefits, i.e. simultaneous water recovery, desalination and removal of COD (chemical oxygen demand). Herein, an FO-MDC ...
Life cycle environmental impact comparison of bioelectrochemical systems for wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are developed to transform the energy harvested from the biomass into electricity. Different types of BESs including microbial fuel cell (MFC), microbial electrolysis cell (MEC), and ...
Microbial desalination cells as a versatile technology: Functions, optimization and prospective
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Other)
Saline water such as seawater or brackish water is a potential source for drinking water or for non-potable applications, but the existing desalination techniques are energy intensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need ...
