On the other hand, the sewage treatment with existing technologies is not cost-effective due to high energy demand and contributes to greenhouse gas emission. Thus, the use of conventional water treatment methods is neither sustainable nor always effective. In this sense, BESs has emerged as a promising technology to treat complex industrial wastewater with a sustainable manner. Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes: Bioelectrochemical Systems for Wastewater Management analyses and discusses the potential of microbial and electrochemical based hybrid processes for the treatment of complex industrial wastewater along with the recovery of valuable compounds and water reutilization. The most significant advantages of BES are high effectiveness, low toxicity, gentle operation conditions, environmentally friendly treatment without sludge accumulation and energy conservation. Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are emerging as an exciting platform to convert chemical energy of organic wastes into electricity or hydrogen or value-added chemical commodities. In addition, recent and future trends in BES are highlighted.
- Discusses the fundamentals of biological wastewater treatment and bio-electrochemical systems, advantages, limitations and promising solutions of different types of energy recovery options from wastewater
- Presents the recent trends and developments in BES for achieving the sustainable wastewater treatment
- Covers the applications of BES and BES-based hybrid treatment technologies for wastewater treatment
- Includes carbon capture and resource recovery other than energy from wastewater using BES systems
- Addresses the challenges in the full-scale implementation of BES in existing and new wastewater treatment plants
Bioengineers, environmental scientists, chemists in academia and corporate research. Different professionals, managers working or interested in the Water treatment
