MICROBIAL FUEL CELL SYSTEM: A PROMISING TECHNOLOGY FOR POLLUTANT REMOVAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Wu, Q., S. Jiao, M. Ma, and S. Peng.
Environmental Science and Pollution Research 27:6749-6764(2020)
The microbial fuel cell (MFC) system, a promising environmental remediation technology, has a simple compact design, low cost, and converts chemical energy from waste matter to electrical energy. In this review, research was gathered on the use of MFC system technologies for pollutant removal and environmental remediation. The review includes an introduction of the main configurations and pollutant removal mechanism by MFCs; research progress of MFC systems, including wastewater treatment, soil remediation, natural water, and groundwater remediation, sludge and solid waste treatment, and greenhouse gas emission control; application of MFCs in environmental monitoring; and the combination of MFCs with other technologies. Current limitations and potential future research recommendations are discussed.
