Biofilm formation and electron transfer in bioelectrochemical systems
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
In the recent years, considerable body of research has been carried out in the field of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) for treatment of wastewater and generation of power. In these systems, different microbes are used ...
Enhancing desalination and wastewater treatment by coupling microbial desalination cells with forward osmosis
(
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 ...
Biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass: Technology and sustainability
(
MDPI AG
, 2015 , Article)
Among the various renewable energy sources, biohydrogen is gaining a lot of traction as it has very high efficiency of conversion to usable power with less pollutant generation. The various technologies available for the ...

(
MDPI AG
, 2015 , Article Review)
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 ...
Understanding electricity generation in osmotic microbial fuel cells through integrated experimental investigation and mathematical modeling
(
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 ...
Development of Bioelectrochemical Systems to Promote Sustainable Agriculture
(
MDPI
, 2015 , Article Review)
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 ...
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
(
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 ...
Microbial desalination cells as a versatile technology: Functions, optimization and prospective
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article Review)
Saline water such as seawater or brackish water is a potential source for drinking water or for non-potable applications, but the existing desalination techniques are energy intensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need ...
Recycling of hospital laundry wastewater using membrane technology
(
Desalination Publications
, 2017 , Article)
The laundry wastewater from a Qatari hospital has been characterized and its membrane filtration behavior studied. 1,800-2,500 L or wastewater per cycle for washing a laundry load of 40-50 kg was determined, with the ...
Life cycle environmental impact comparison of bioelectrochemical systems for wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference)
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are developed to transform the energy harvested from the biomass into electricity. Different types of BESs including microbial fuel cell (MFC), microbial electrolysis cell (MEC), and ...
