Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are promising technologies for energy and product recovery coupled with wastewater treatment, and the core microbial community in electrochemically active biofilm in BESs remains controversy. In the present study, 7 anodic communities from 6 bioelectrochemical systems in 4 labs in southeast, north and south-central of China are explored by 454 pyrosequencing. A...

Two combined bioelectrochemical and sulfur autotrophic denitrification (CBSAD) processes for the treatment of nitrate contaminated drinking water were studied in this article, the main difference between the two processes was whether the limestone was packed in the reactor. In these processes, the sulfur denitrification was carried out in the lower part (Sulfur Part) of the reactors while the b...

In bioelectrochemical system (BES) the extracellular electron transfer (EET) from bacteria to anode electrode is recognized as a crucial step that governs the anodic reaction efficiency. Here, we report a novel approach to substantially enhance the microbial EET by immobilization of a small active phenothiazine derivative, methylene blue, on electrode surface. A comparison of the currents gener...

An integrated photobioelectrochemical (IPB) system was developed by installing a microbial fuel cell (MFC) inside an algal bioreactor. This system achieves the simultaneous removal from a synthetic solution of organics (in the MFC) and nutrients (in the algal bioreactor), and the production of bioenergy in electricity and algal biomass through bioelectrochemical and microbiological processes. D...

Bioelectrochemical technologies offer alternative ways of treating wastewater and using this process to generate electricity. However, research in area is just beginning consider environmental transmission viruses present wastewater. The viral fecal indicator coliphage MS2 (the most frequently used pathogen model) was study, since it a well-known indigenous virus. scaled-up bioelectrochemical s...
