Enhanced removal of petroleum hydrocarbons using a bioelectrochemical remediation system with pre-cultured anodes

The effects of petroleum-contaminated soil on photosynthesis of Amorpha fruticosa seedlings

“…In addition, petroleum contaminants and the heavy metals they carry can be bioaccumulated along with the food chain and finally threaten the human health (Park and Park 2011). Considering these, many researchers have devoted to remediate the petroleumcontaminated soil (Chien 2012;Khan et al 2013;Silva et al 2014;Venkidusamy et al 2016).…”

Bioremediation in Water Environment: Controlled Electro-Stimulation of Organic Matter Self-Purification in Aquatic Environments

“…This study scale is often referred to as a microcosm study and focuses on the electro-biodegradation of contaminants such as pesticides [9] [175], and petroleum spills [12] [158] [172], and are also used to easily study and optimize some operational electrochemical parameters such as polarization curves, coulombic efficiency and activation, ohmic and transport losses.…”

“…The microbiological processes, involved in bio-electrochemical remediation of recalcitrant pollutants, are currently not fully understood, particularly in relation to electron transfer mechanisms. Some reviews provide a comprehensive analysis of the research on bio-electrochemical remediation and of the key parameters involved in the process [9] [12] [172]. As show in Table 1 [177] [178], and even inorganic species [179].…”

Mathematical modeling based evaluation and simulation of boron removal in bioelectrochemical systems

“…As a representative BES, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can transform chemical energy stored in waste into electrical energy with the benefit of removing the intrinsic organics in wastewater (Li et al, 2014;Venkidusamy et al, 2016). The concept of BES is also applied to desalination of seawater or brackish water in microbial desalination cell (MDCs) driven by in-situ electricity production (Cao et al, 2009;Sevda et al, 2015).…”
