“…One of the green strategies – the bioelectrochemical process – was carried out mainly to yield energy while treating the wastewater. Nowadays, researchers are engaged in performing wastewater treatment by employing microbes through the bioelectrochemical process along with the credit of receiving energy [ 17 , 18 ]. Amidst, the given methodologies, biofilters are found to be suitable, sustainable technology, and easy to operate in the removal of various contaminants present in the aquatic environment.…”

Good quality of water determines the healthy life of living beings on this earth. The cleanliness of water was interrupted by the pollutants emerging out of several human activities. Industrialization, urbanization, heavy population, and improper disposal of wastes are found to be the major reasons for the contamination of water. Globally, the inclusion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals released by manufacturing industries, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical processes have created environmental issues. The toxic nature of these pollutants has led researchers, scientists, and industries to exhibit concern toward the complete eradication of them. In this scenario, the development of wastewater treatment methodologies at low cost and in an eco-friendly way had gained importance at the international level. Recently, bio-based technologies were considered for environmental remedies. Biofiltration-based works have shown a significant result for the removal of volatile organic compounds and heavy metals in the treatment of wastewater. This was done with several biological sources such as bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, yeasts, etc. The biofiltration technique is cost-effective, simple, biocompatible, sustainable, and eco-friendly compared to conventional techniques. This review article provides deep insight into biofiltration technologies engaged in the removal of volatile organic compounds and heavy metals in the wastewater treatment process.

“…Bioelectrochemistry, which combined electrochemical and biochemical processes, has attracted much attention in the last ten years due to the contribution in terms of catalytic properties that biological agents (enzymes or living cells) can make to meet the sustainability and circular economy principles (de Fouchécour et al, 2022;Al-Sahari et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2022;Chandrasekhar et al, 2021;Cai et al, 2022). The combination of biological systems with electrochemical cells is possible due to the fact that a key part of biological systems are involved in fundamental processes of energy use and capture (Barlett, 2008).…”

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have emerged as a technology that is able to recover resources from different kinds of substrates, especially wastewater. Nutrient recovery, mostly based on membrane reactor configuration, is a clear niche for BES application. The recovery of nitrogen or phosphorus allows for treatment of wastewater while simultaneously collecting a concentrated stream with nutrients that can be reintroduced into the system, becoming a circular economy solution. The aim of this study is to review recent advances in membrane-based BESs for nitrogen and phosphorus recovery and compare the recovery efficiencies and energy requirements of each system. Finally, there is a discussion of the main issues that arise from using membrane-based BESs. The results presented in this review show that it would be beneficial to intensify research on BESs to improve recovery efficiencies at the lowest construction cost in order to take the final step towards scaling up and commercialising this technology.
