Integrated Microbial Fuel Cells for Wastewater Treatment

Current wastewater treatment technologies are not sustainable simply due to their high operational cost and process inefficiency. Integrated Microbial Fuel Cells for Wastewater Treatment is intended for professionals who are searching for an innovative method to improve the efficiency of their wastewater treatment processes by exploiting the potential of Microbial Fuel Cells technology.Divided into four parts, Integrated Microbial Fuel Cells for Wastewater Treatment begins with an overview of the state of the art? electrochemical systems as well as the fundamentals of MFC technology and its potential to enhance treatment efficiency and reduce electricity generation cost. The Editors discuss the integration, installation, and optimization of MFC into conventional wastewater treatment processes such as activated sludge process, lagoons, constructed wetlands, and membrane bioreactors. The book explores the application of MFC integrated systems for large scale wastewater treatment and the challenges which are inherent in scale up process. Clearly describes the latest techniques for integrating MFC into traditional wastewater treatment processes such as activated sludge process, lagoons, constructed wetlands, and membrane bioreactorsDiscusses the fundamentals of bio-electrochemical systems for degrading the contaminants from the municipal and industrial wastewaterCovers methods for the optimization of integrated systems INDICE: Part I: Introduction 1. Historical background and state of the art on Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) 2.
