Exploring the Oxidative Effects of the Microbial Electro-Fenton Process on the Depolymerization of Lignin Extracted from Rice Straw in a Bio-Electrochemical System Coupled with Wastewater Treatment
Abstract:Lignin is a potential renewable feedstock
to produce value-added
compounds, but the overwhelming bulk of it is either burned for energy
or discarded as waste. This paper addressed two critical issues: waste-to-value
generation and management by demonstrating the in situ depolymerization
of lignin extracted from waste rice straw utilizing the microbial
electro-Fenton process in a microbial peroxide-producing cell (MPPC),
a type of bio-electrochemical cell, for value addition while synchronously
treating wastewa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
