BACKGROUND This work develops a simplified mathematical model to predict the performance of bioelectrochemical system (BES), first working as microbial fuel cell (MFC) and then electrolysis (MEC), for recovery dissolved metals (Fe, Cu, Sn, Ni) from simulated industrial wastewater. Experimental data previous were used starting points modelling. Wastewater was catholyte contained Cu2+ Fe3+ (500 m...

Nitrogen pollution in wastewater has been considered a worldwide risk to ecosystems. Bioelectrochemical technologies have developed recently remove nitrogen. In addition nitrogen, microplastics, as emergency pollutants wastewater, could potentially affect nitrogen removal efficiency due their toxic effects on the activity of microorganisms. This study explored how microplastics would influence ...

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...

Microbial bioelectrochemical systems have been in the full spotlight for over a decade due to the promise of being a platform for sustainable electrical power generation from wastewaters. This promise has not yet been fulfilled, but the research on bioelectrochemical systems (BES) has received a tremendous boost (Schr€ oder, 2011; Arends and Verstraete, 2012). The field has diversified into exp...
