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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Ammonium removal from synthetic wastewater promoted by current generation and water flux in an osmotic microbial fuel cell
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Recovering useful resources from wastes represents a new approach of clean production with significant environmental and economic benefits. Ammonium nitrogen, which is an important inorganic contaminant and also a resource ...
Enhanced treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater by short-term applied voltage in single chamber microbial fuel cell
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Electrochemically active anodic biofilm that has adapted under mild applied potentials in the range 100-500 mV was evaluated for its improved bioelectrogenesis and bioelectrochemical treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater ...
