简介
Highlights
- MEC has the potential for anaerobic treatment of urban wastewater with resource recovery.
- Successful implementation for urban wastewater treatment requires integration with other processes.
- Recent progress in material science and electromicrobiology widened integration of MECs.
- New applications have been developed recently including water reuse and nitrogen removal.
- MEC can provide a good synergy with anaerobic digestion.
Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is an anaerobic biological process for the conversion of organics in wastewater into renewable energy in the form of hydrogen or methane. However, MEC cannot be used as a standalone technology for urban wastewater treatment, and post-treatment or integrated processes are required to meet water reuse and discharge limits. Recent advances in material science and the discovery of new microorganisms capable of extracellular electron …
