Mohd Nur Ikhmal Salehmin et al.

Summary: Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been proven to be a versatile bioelectrochemical system with potential to alleviate environmental pollution and water scarcity. However, standalone MDCs are not sufficient for complete wastewater and desalination treatment. Connecting identical MDC units or coupling MDCs with other technologies can improve performance, but scaling-up efforts have been slow and challenges remain unresolved.

Simultaneous bioelectricity generation and water desalination using Oscillatoria sp. as biocatalyst in photosyntheticmicrobial desalination cell

Dinesh Bejjanki et al.

Summary: This study successfully demonstrated the use of Oscillatoria sp. as a biocatalyst in the cathode chamber for enhancing salinity removal, electricity generation, and wastewater treatment in the MDC. The results showed maximum open circuit voltage of 652 +/- 10 mV, COD removal efficiency of 80.2 +/- 0.5%, and desalination efficiency of 65.8 +/- 0.5% were achieved with the use of biocathode during dairy wastewater treatment and desalination process.
