Construction of microbial electrodialysis cells equipped with internal proton migration pathways: Enhancement of wastewater treatment, desalination, and hydrogen production

Mohd Nur Ikhmal Salehmin et al.

Summary: This study introduces an improved design of microbial electrodialysis cells (MEDCs) with an internal proton migration pathway (IP-MEDC), which enhances the overall performance of the system. Both simulation tests and experimental results under biotic conditions show that the IP-MEDC exhibits higher COD removal rate, desalination rate, and hydrogen production compared to the conventional design. The study also suggests that increasing the anode volume and reducing the replacement frequency of the electrolytes can further improve the system performance while reducing operating costs.

Reduction of nitrobenzene by a zero-valent iron microspheres/polyvinylidene fluoride (mZVI/PVDF) membrane

Chengfeng Yang et al.

Summary: The mZVI/PVDF composite membrane successfully addressed the challenges of easy agglomeration, oxidation, loss, and difficult reuse faced by bare mZVI, maintaining 100% nitrobenzene degradation in eight cycles. The detailed study on the degradation process provided insights for optimizing the use of mZVI.

Simultaneous high-concentration pyridine removal and denitrification in an electricity assisted bio-photodegradation system

Hefei Shi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated enhanced degradation of high-concentration pyridine and simultaneous denitrification using an Electricity assisted bio-photodegradation system (EBPS). By suppressing the recombination of photoelectron-hole pairs and utilizing denitrification in the biocathode zone, the degradation process was significantly accelerated. Analysis of microbial communities and genes involved in pyridine metabolism, denitrification, and extracellular electron transfer highlighted the crucial role of photoelectrical stimulation in EBPS. This approach provided a sustainable way for simultaneous removal of pyridine and nitrogen in wastewater.

An in-situ bio-remediation of nitrobenzene in stimulated aquifer using emulsified vegetable oil

Jun Dong et al.

Summary: The in situ microbial reactive zone enhanced by injecting emulsified vegetable oil is an effective method for remediating nitrobenzene-contaminated groundwater, as it can stimulate the growth of certain microorganisms to reduce nitrobenzene through biological and biochemical processes. Analysis through 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing revealed three degradation pathways for nitrobenzene, with the coupled reduction process identified as the main pathway.

He Gu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal efficiency of nitrobenzene by nano zero-valent iron/graphene/biochar composite modified with graphene. The results showed that graphene modification enhanced the reduction capacity of the composite, increasing the removal efficiency by releasing electrons to attack nitrobenzene molecules.

Innovative air-cathode bioelectrochemical sensor for monitoring of total volatile fatty acids during anaerobic digestion

Hao Sun et al.

Summary: An innovative dual-chamber air-cathode microbial fuel cell was developed as a biosensor for volatile fatty acids (VFA) monitoring. The response of the biosensor was nonlinear, but linear at low concentrations, with high bicarbonate concentrations decreasing the voltage. Stirring speeded up the response but also reduced the detection range, and the biosensor was validated in monitoring VFA concentrations in AD effluents.

Desulfovibrio feeding Methanobacterium with electrons in conductive methanogenic aggregates from coastal zones

Shiling Zheng et al.

Summary: Desulfovibrio and Methanobacterium species dominate electrochemically active aggregates, contributing to ethanol metabolism and converting carbon dioxide to methane, respectively. Desulfovibrio strain JY transfers electrons directly to Methanothrix harundinacea, while Methanobacterium strain YSL may accept electrons from Desulfovibrio strain JY for carbon dioxide reduction to methane in the aggregate.
