Recent applications of bioelectrochemical system for useful resource recovery: retrieval of nutrient and metal from wastewater

Regeneration of the power performance of cathodes affected by biofouling

“…The MFC technology is a sustainable way of producing energy, which has been used in a variety of applications, the most common of which include treating wastewater and nutrient recovery [3] , [4] . It was also shown that urine can be successfully treated in MFCs [5] , and in some other examples, H 2 production has been reported [6] .…”

Bioelectrochemical system for landfill leachate treatment – challenges, opportunities, and recommendations

“…In the recent decade, bioelectrochemical system (BES) is used as a novel approach for sustainable energy production and energy efficient wastewater treatment (Kim, Songa, Munussamia, Kim, & Jeon, 2015;. In BES, organic compound tends to produce electricity and other value-added compounds by oxidizing micro-organisms.…”

“…Hence, the treatment of landfill leachate is considered to be crucial step prior to its discharge (Aziz, Aziz, Yusoff, Bashir, & Umar, 2010;Rafizul & Alamgir, 2015;Tan, Hameed, & Ahmad, 2008). Leachate composition is greatly influenced by many factors such as landfill age, type of waste, precipitation variation, and soil condition recent decade (Kelly & He, 2014;Kim et al, 2015;Wang & Ren, 2013). The evolutionary operational process of microbial fuel cells (MFC) to microbial desalination cells involving the thermodynamic behavior of certain reducing reactions has been studied in the recent years.…”

A New Recycling Process for Tungsten Carbide Soft Scrap That Employs a Mechanochemical Reaction with Sodium Hydroxide

“…The recycling ratio of W has increased continuously, but still is no greater than approximately 25% due to the physical and chemical diversity of various types of scrap (e.g., materials that have reached the end of their life or more prevalently those that are generated during the manufacturing of W materials (including WC)). This scrap can be classified by shape; (1) powder (soft scrap) or (2) bulky (hard scrap) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
