“…Biodegradation plays a pivotal role in pollutant removal within electrochemical processes combined with membrane technologies (Corpuz et al, 2022). Microorganisms introduced into the bioreactor chamber metabolically degrade organic pollutants, while an applied electric field further enhances biodegradation through reactive species generated at the anode (Fu, Zhang, Jiang, Sun, & Sun, 2023).…”

“…Additionally, electrochemical coagulation and electrostatic repulsion in eMBRs demonstrate superior phosphorus removal efficiency compared to conventional MBRs, showcasing the potential of electrochemical techniques to overcome limitations of traditional methods (Yu, Sun, Zhao, Tian, & Hu, 2023b). While adsorption methods provide an alternative approach to phosphorus removal, considerations such as adsorbent regeneration and disposal must be addressed (Corpuz et al, 2022). Lastly, electrochemical phosphorus removal and recovery in membrane filtration reactors exhibit excellent performance, underscoring the research's emphasis on innovative technologies for efficient nutrient removal, despite potential operational complexities (Ren, Xu, Dai, & Wang, 2023) .…”

Membrane fouling significantly decreases the effectiveness and efficiency of Electrochemical Membrane Bioreactors (eMBRs). Foulants accumulate on membrane surfaces, affecting hydraulic permeability, electrochemical kinetics, microbiological activity, and mass transfer processes, resulting in decreased wastewater treatment performance by eMBRs and lower resource recovery efficiency. Therefore, this review focuses on examining electrochemical and membrane bioreactor technologies for wastewater treatment, with an emphasis on the influence of membrane fouling on eMBRs. The review explores various factors such as current density, electrode materials, and operating conditions, and their effects on treatment efficiency. The integration of electrochemical processes with MBR shows improved removal of organic pollutants, nitrogen, and phosphorus, along with reduced membrane fouling and enhanced operating stability. The study advocates for careful electrode material selection to optimize energy consumption and pollutant removal. Further research is recommended to refine processes, address challenges, and explore resource recovery within eMBRs.
