The study evaluated a two-stage hybrid Constructed Wetland integrated with a microbial fuel cell and microbial electrolysis cell for treating complex synthetic municipal wastewater. Applying a constant potential to the working electrode in the system resulted in high treatment performance and reduced sludge generation. The system showed higher removal efficiencies for COD, ammonium, phosphate, and trace metals compared to traditional Constructed Wetland systems.
A two-stage hybrid Constructed Wetland (CW) integrated with a microbial fuel cell (MFC), and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) has been assessed for treatment performance and clogging assessment and further compared with CW. The CW-MEC was operated with applied potential to the working electrode and compared with the performance of naturally adapted redox potential of the CW-MFC system. A complex synthetic municipal wastewater was used during the study, which was composed of trace metals, organics, inorganics, and dye. The study demonstrated that providing a constant potential to the working electrode in CW-MEC has resulted in high treatment performance and reduced sludge generation. The maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonium (NH4+), and phosphate (PO43- ) removal achieved during treatment by CW-MEC at 24 h hydraulic retention time was 89 +/- 6%, 72 +/- 6% and 93 +/- 2%, respectively. ICP-MS results indicated that trace metal removals were also higher in CW-MEC than in CW alone (p < 0.05). At the end of the experiment, significant volumetric change (total volume of the microcosm) occurred in CW (1.3 L), which indicates high sludge generation, whereas it was lesser in CW-MEC (0.3 L) and in CW-MFC (0.5 L). Further, Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy results indicated low levels of metal precipitation in the CW-MEC system. Based on the Shannon diversity index, the CW-MEC was assessed to be characterised by high species richness and diversity. The observations from this study indicate that the applied potential at the working electrode has a significant impact on treatment performance and clogging behaviour of the system.
