Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
Sevda, Surajbhan; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; Yuan, Heyang; He, Zhen ( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ... -
Degradation of 4-chlorophenol through cooperative reductive and oxidative processes in an electrochemical system
Yang, Kaichao; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; He, Zhen ( Elsevier B.V. , 2023 , Conference Paper)Electrochemical treatment can be an effective approach for degrading recalcitrant organic contaminants because its anode/cathode produces powerful oxidizing/reducing conditions. Herein, through the cooperation of the ... -
Enhancing desalination and wastewater treatment by coupling microbial desalination cells with forward osmosis
Yuan, Heyang; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; He, Zhen ( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ... -
Enhancing the degradation of selected recalcitrant organic contaminants through integrated cathode and anode processes in microbial electrochemical systems: A frontier review
Yang, Kaichao; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; He, Zhen ( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Microbial electrochemical system (MES) technology has been widely investigated for organic degradation. However, the removal of recalcitrant organic contaminants containing halogen-, nitro-, or azo-groups remains a great ... -
Oxygen reduction reaction catalysts used in microbial fuel cells for energy-efficient wastewater treatment: A review
Yuan, Heyang; Hou, Yang; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; Chen, Junhong; He, Zhen ( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Other)Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as an energy-efficient wastewater treatment technology have attracted increasing interest in the past decade. Cathode catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) present a major challenge ... -
Understanding electricity generation in osmotic microbial fuel cells through integrated experimental investigation and mathematical modeling
Qin, Mohan; Ping, Qingyun; Lu, Yaobin; Abu-Reesh, Ibrahim M.; He, Zhen ( Elsevier Ltd , 2015 , Article)(Graph Presented). Osmotic microbial fuel cells (OsMFCs) are a new type of MFCs with integrating forward osmosis (FO). However, it is not well understood why electricity generation is improved in OsMFCs compared to regular ...
