“…In contrast, some researchers observed no correlation between HRT increment and COD removal from wastewater [37,45]. Similary, Kim et al (2016) operated the AFMBR posttreatment for MFC effluent at different HRTs [66]. AFMBR produced similar COD removal efficiencies at all HRTs tested, which shows that AFMBR performs well at short HRT, and increasing HRT over 3.8 h has no noticable effect.…”

“…Some researchers have installed AFMBR as a polishing treatment for the effluent from different reactors. Experimental results have proven that AFMBR is a very successful polishing reactor for the removal of remaining pollutants from down-flow floating media filter (DFM) [48], anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) [64], upflow sludge blanket reactor (UASB) [53] and microbial fuel cell (MFC) [66,62]. Bae et al, (2014) compared the performances of single-stage and two-stage AFMBRs for the treatment of municipal wastewater [37].…”

“…They found that coated membrane had higher organic removal efficiency and achieved higher fouling mitigation performance when GAC particles were fluidized. Various fluidizing solid materials, namely activated carbon [36,44,52,66], glass beads [68], silica [43], and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), have been used in AFMBR reactors. Granulated active carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC) have been mostly utilized due to higher mechanical scouring efficiency and pollutant removal capacity.…”

“…During the treatment of benzothiazole in a mesophilic IAFMBR, an adverse effect of higher benzothiazole concentration on membrane fouling was observed [67]. Kim et al (2016) applied the AFMBR for MFC effluent at relatively short HRTs of 1.4 to 3.8 h and did not obtain any increase in fouling, but accumlation of solids inside the reactor slightly increased TMP [66].…”

Domestic and industrial wastewaters are characterized by high organic content along with other diverse pollutants. Modern wastewater management comprises efficient removal of pollutants and gain energy to fulfil the discharge standards, protect the environment and sustain economic development. Until the last few decades, aerobic treatment technologies were dominant in wastewater treatment. Despite efficient treatment, large energy consumption for aeration, high operational cost and production of a great amount of sludge are the main drawbacks of aerobic systems. Wastewater treatment by anaerobic biological processes has many advantages over aerobic and other removal systems [1]. In addition to higher organic matter removal with less nutrient requirement, lower sludge production and energy-rich methane (CH 4) production are the main outcomes of anaerobic technologies. Various individual and combined anaerobic reactor systems have been successfully applied for the treatment of wastewater [2-5]. Anaerobic bioreactors contain a diverse microbial community, and slow-growing methanogens are very sensitive to changes in environmental conditions. In order to achieve the high treatment performance

“…The oxidation of DOC in a BES anode has been extensively reported in past literature (Hou et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2016;Venkidusamy et al, 2016). However, entrapment and oxidation of SS (specifically algal biomass) on a BES anode is yet to be fully investigated.…”

AbstractThis study examined for the first time the use of bioelectrochemical systems (BES) to entrap, decompose and oxidise fresh algal biomass from an algae-laden effluent. The experimental process consisted of a photobioreactor for a continuous production of the algal-laden effluent, and a two-chamber BES equipped with a graphite granules and carbon-felt anodic filter facilitating the physical removal and oxidation of the algal biomass from the effluent. Resultsshowed that the BES filter could retain ca. 90% of the suspended solids (SS) loaded. A coulombic efficiency (CE) of 36.6% (based on particulate chemical oxygen demand (PCOD) removed) was achieved, which was consistent with the highest CEs of BES studies (operated in microbial fuel cell mode (MFC)) that included additional pre-treatment steps for algae hydrolysis. Overall, this study suggests that a filter type BES anode can effectively entrap, decompose and in situ oxidise algae without the need for a separate pre-treatment step.
