Petroleum industries are large water consumers and generate a lot of wastewater at various stages of industrial operations. Wastewater from the petroleum industries contain recalcitrant pollutants such as hydrocarbons that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
