Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) are an emerging concept for simultaneous wastewater treatment and water desalination. This work presents a mathematical model to simulate dynamic behavior of MDCs for the first time through evaluating multiple factors such as organic supply, salt loading, and current generation. Ordinary differential equations were applied to describe the substrate as well as...

Soil salinization has become a major problem for agriculture worldwide, especially because this phenomenon is continuously expanding in different regions of the world. Salinity complex mechanism, and soil ecosystem, it affects both microorganisms plants, some which have developed efficient strategies to alleviate salt stress conditions. Currently, various methods can be used reduce negative eff...

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 27...

One way to treat oil waste is a seawater desalination system that uses exoelectorgenic bacteria as an agent for the degradation of organic compounds contained in waste. Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) development Fuel (MFC), method can eliminate salt content using electricity generated by from wastewater. Stacked (SMDC) MDC where SMDC many pairs ion Exchange Membranes (IEMs) IEMs are placed b...

Environmental issues related to desalination are a major factor in the design and implementation of desalination technologies. An acceptable desalination plant is expected to meet environmental regulations; be cost-effective in terms of construction, operation and management, as well as the costs associated with monitoring and permit fees. Some major environmental concerns include issues relate...

A large number of resources are dedicated to seawater desalination and will only grow as world-wide water scarcity increases. In arid areas with high temperature and salinity seawater, thermal desalination and power plants (dual-purpose/co-generation plants) are often employed for the production of power and water. In other areas, reverse osmosis is commonly employed. However, both technologies...
