When external measurements are made of electrochemical systems, including bioelectrochemical, there results an interaction. Such measurements cause electrochemical processes to take place that are significant. This work looks into the nature and significance of the interfacial processes on membrane and membrane phenomena. The conclusion reached is that interfacial processes are important and ca...

The widespread use of pesticides for agricultural purposes results in their presence the environment. Pesticide occurrence is causing potential negative impacts on human health and environmental deterioration general. One interdisciplinary field to implement a technology converting conserving resources bioelectrochemistry. An integrated system based bioelectrochemical processes, namely Bioelect...

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with their high pore volumes and chemically-diverse environments have emerged as components of catalytic electrodes for biosensors, biofuel cells, bioreactors. MOFs are widely exploited gas capture, separations, catalysis, but integration at biocatalysts (bio)electrocatalysis is a niche topic that remains largely unexplored. This review focuses on recent advances...

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...

A low cost cation exchange membrane to be used in a specific bioelectrochemical system has been developed using poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK). This material is presented as an alternative to current commercial ion exchange membranes that have been primarily designed for fuel cell applications. To increase the hydrophilicity and ion transport of the PEEK material, charged groups are introduced...

This study demonstrates simultaneous carbon and nitrogen removal in laboratory-scale continuous flow microbial fuel cell (MFC) and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) and provides side-by side comparison of these bioelectrochemical systems. The maximum organic carbon removal rates in MFC and MEC tests were similar at 5.1 g L(-1) d(-1) and 4.16 g L(-1) d(-1), respectively, with a near 100% carbon ...
