“…In another study by Cheng et al [54], pomelo peel-derived biochar was used in the anode compartment to enhance the degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics in the continuous operation of MFC via pore-filling and EDA interaction; sulfonamide antibiotics were absorbed into the diverse interfaces of the biochar. As a result, SMX, sulfadiazine, and sulfamethazine removal efficiency may be increased by 82.44-88.15%, 53.40-77.53%, and 61.12-80.68%, respectively, by introducing biochar to a particular concentration (500 mg L −1 ).…”

“…Furthermore, raising the concentration of biochar enhanced energy production, COD removal, and nutrient metabolism. Consequently, it has been shown that including biochar in MFC substantially improves the capacity of MFCs to handle pharmaceutical swine effluent containing sulfonamide antibiotics [54]. Antibiotic degradation by utilizing constructed wetlands (CWs) with MFC-CWs has also proven effective (as shown in Figure 1).…”

Pharmaceutical wastewater (PWW) is rapidly growing into one of the world’s most serious environmental and public health issues. Existing wastewater treatment systems carry numerous loopholes in supplying the ever-increasing need for potable water resulting from rises in population, urbanization, and industrial growth, and the volume of wastewater produced is growing each day. At present, conventional treatment methods, such as coagulation, sedimentation, oxidation, membrane filtration, flocculation, etc., are used to treat PWW. In contrast to these, the application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for decontaminating PWW can be a promising technology to replace these methods. MFC technologies have become a trending research topic in recent times. MFCs have also garnered the interest of researchers worldwide as a promising environmental remediation technique. This review extensively discusses the flaws in standalone conventional processes and the integration of MFCs to enhance electricity production and contaminant removal rates, especially with respect to PWW. This article also summarizes the studies reported on various antibiotics and wastes from pharmaceutical industries treated by MFCs, and their efficiencies. Furthermore, the review explains why further research is needed to establish the actual efficiency of MFCs to achieve sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective wastewater treatment. A brief on technoeconomic impacts has also been made to provide a glimpse of the way these technologies might replace present-day conventional methods.

“…The author demonstrated that improved removal of antibiotics was attributed to the combined effects of activated carbon's adsorption and further enhanced degradation. Due to favourable adsorption of SMs onto the biochar as observed in one previous study(Cheng et al, 2020a), adsorption removal of SMs might account for a significant proportion. Similar to the activated carbon, biochar could act as a biocarrier of microorganisms, and further form a biofilm on the biochar surface, thereby enhancing the activity of microorganisms, and then improving the biodegradation and removal of SM(Mumme et al, 2014).…”

“…Therefore, a study on the role of biochar in membrane fouling mitigation and antibiotics removal from swine wastewater in AnMBR is crucial. Based on one of our previous study, a new biochar derived from pomelo peel was used in the current research due to its high capacity for the adsorption of SMs from wastewater (Cheng et al, 2020a). This study is therefore to investigate SMs removal in an AnMBR with and without adding the biochar.…”

Sulfonamide antibiotics (SMs), as a class of antibiotics commonly used in swine industries, pose a serious threat to animal and human health. This study aims to evaluate the performance of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) with and without supplying a new pomelo peel derived biochar to treat swine wastewater containing SMs. Results shows that 0.5 g/L biochar addition could increase more than 30% of sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamethazine (SMZ)) removal in AnMBR. Approximately 95% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was removed in the AnMBR at an influent organic loading rate (OLR) of 3.27 kg COD/(m 3 •d) while an average methane yield was 0.2 L/g COD removed with slightly change at a small dose 0.5 g/L biochar addition. SMs inhibited the COD removal and methane production and increased membrane fouling. The addition of biochar could reduce the membrane fouling by reducing the concentration of SMP and EPS.

“…Thanks to its electrochemical properties and low cost, biochar has been identified as a good candidate material to be used in the set-up of scaled BESs for wastewater treatment and soil bioremediation [7,23,27,29]. A benefit of biochar, in comparison to other carbon-based materials, such as activated carbon (AC), lies in its easy production from different vegetable residues and from sewage sludge [7,13,22,27,[30][31][32]. Finally, different researches have proved biochar-based materials to be suitable also for dye degradation, landfill leachate, and other pollutants treatment in MFCs, which adds a further benefit to the ones described above [27,33,34].…”

In this paper, we tested the combined use of a biochar-based material at the cathode and of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain in a single chamber, air cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs) fed with a mix of shredded vegetable and phosphate buffer solution (PBS) in a 30% solid/liquid ratio. As a control system, we set up and tested MFCs provided with a composite cathode made up of a nickel mesh current collector, activated carbon and a single porous poly tetra fluoro ethylene (PTFE) diffusion layer. At the end of the experiments, we compared the performance of the two systems, in the presence and absence of P. aeruginosa, in terms of electric outputs. We also explored the potential reutilization of cathodes. Unlike composite material, biochar showed a life span of up to 3 cycles of 15 days each, with a pH of the feedstock kept in a range of neutrality. In order to relate the electric performance to the amount of solid substrates used as source of carbon and energy, besides of cathode surface, we referred power density (PD) and current density (CD) to kg of biomass used. The maximum outputs obtained when using the sole microflora were, on average, respectively 0.19 Wm−2kg−1 and 2.67 Wm−2kg−1, with peaks of 0.32 Wm−2kg−1 and 4.87 Wm−2kg−1 of cathode surface and mass of treated biomass in MFCs with biochar and PTFE cathodes respectively. As to current outputs, the maximum values were 7.5 Am−2 kg−1 and 35.6 Am−2kg−1 in MFCs with biochar-based material and a composite cathode. If compared to the utilization of the sole acidogenic/acetogenic microflora in vegetable residues, we observed an increment of the power outputs of about 16.5 folds in both systems when we added P. aeruginosa to the shredded vegetables. Even though the MFCs with PTFE-cathode achieved the highest performance in terms of PD and CD, they underwent a fouling episode after about 10 days of operation, with a dramatic decrease in pH and both PD and CD. Our results confirm the potentialities of the utilization of biochar-based materials in waste treatment and bioenergy production.
