Boron removal from saline water by a microbial desalination cell integrated with donnan dialysis
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)Boron has toxic effects on plant growth and thus its removal is necessary from desalinated saline water for irrigation application. Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) are a new approach for effective desalination but boron ... -
Development of Bioelectrochemical Systems to Promote Sustainable Agriculture
( MDPI , 2015 , Other)Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are a newly emerged technology for energy-efficient water and wastewater treatment. Much effort as well as significant progress has been made in advancing this technology towards practical ... -
Improved salt removal and power generation in a cascade of two hydraulically connected up-flow microbial desalination cells
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2018 , Article)A novel two chamber up-flow microbial desalination cell (UMDC) was designed for evaluating desalination of real seawater with simultaneous wastewater treatment and energy generation. Two UMDCs were hydraulically connected ... -
Life cycle assessment of a microbial desalination cell for sustainable wastewater treatment and saline water desalination
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)Microbial desalination cells (MDCs), with bifunctional capacity to simultaneously treat wastewater and desalinate seawater at low energy consumption, have attracted great attention in recent years. However, the environmental ... -
Mathematical modeling based evaluation and simulation of boron removal in bioelectrochemical systems
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)Boron removal is an arising issue in desalination plants due to boron's toxicity. As an emerging treatment concept, bioelectrochemical systems (BES) can achieve potentially cost-effective boron removal by taking advantage ... -
Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been studied for contaminant removal from wastewater and salinity reduction in saline water. However, in an MDC wastewater treatment and desalination occurs in different streams, ... -
When bioelectrochemical systems meet forward osmosis: Accomplishing wastewater treatment and reuse through synergy
( MDPI AG , 2015 , Other)Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and forward osmosis (FO) are two emerging technologies with great potential for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. BES takes advantage of microbial interaction with a solid electron ...
