چکیده مقاله:

Concurrent renewable energy production and wastewater treatment are two main reasons for using microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this study, real wastewater was used for treating and power generation by air cathode microbial desalination cells (ACMFC). The total duration of voltage generation by ACMFC was about 151.9 ±23.2 h. The maximum voltage produced from municipal wastewater treatment was 270 mV. The maximum power and current density calculated as 103 mW/m2 and 382 mA/m2, respectively. The change percentage of EC in wastewater obtained 28.87 ±9.77. The average change percentage of pH at the beginning and end of a fed–bacth phase in wastewater was about 7.3 ±0.34. The COD removal efficiency of wastewater was about 81.40 ±0.74%. The columbic efficiency was obtained 68.58 ±7.95.

Energy-efficient treatment of organic wastewater streams using a rotatable bioelectrochemical contactor (RBEC).

A membraneless bioelectrochemical system - rotatable bio-electrochemical contactor (RBEC) consists of an array of rotatable electrode disks was developed to convert the chemical energy from wastewater organics (acetate) directly into electricity. Each rotatable electrode disk had an upper-air exposing and a lower-water submerging halves. Intermittent rotation (180°) enabled each halve to altern...

Municipal wastewater treatment using constructed wetlands

The aim of the paper is to present alternative to conventional (i.e., the commonly used biological treatment plants) wastewater treatment systems, appropriate for small communities and settlements. These systems are the natural treatment systems. The emphasis here is given on constructed wetlands (CWs). First, advantages and disadvantages of these systems are presented compared to conventional ...

EPS Producing Microorganisms from Municipal Wastewater Activated Sludge

Bacterial exopolysacchrides (EPSs) are produced by many bacteria. Nowadays there is an increasing interest in the isolation and exploitation of these polymers for industrial purposes. In general, biosynthesis of EPS varies from one strain to other strain and it depends on genes and enzymes involved in EPS production and secretion. In this study, EPS producing strains were isolated from municipa...
