Integrated Microbial Fuel Cells for Wastewater Treatment

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, the book begins with an overview of the "state-of-the-art" electrochemical systems, the fundamentals of MFC technology, and its potential to enhance treatment efficiency and reduce electricity generation cost. The book's 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. Finally, the book explores the application of MFC integrated systems for large scale wastewater treatment and the challenges which are inherent in scale up process.
