“…To understand more about the MFCs' neomycin sulfate bio-sensing function, researchers employed a computational chemistry approach to collect data on the maximum occupied orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy value distribution and ionization potentials. The findings demonstrated that electroactive biofilm-based MFCs might be used to detect neomycin sulfate in wastewaters with high sensitivity [55]. Wu et al [56] examined the efficiency of copper and nickel metal foam cathodes in degrading CAP.…”

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.

Antidepressants accumulate in the aquatic environment due to human wastes. “Here, microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is investigated as a candidate for elimination of antidepressants introduced into environment via human wastewaters.” Human urine containing selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (paroxetine) and serotonin‐norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (venlafaxine, O‐desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV)) are used as substrates in MFCs. Electricity production by the MFCs is monitored while simultaneous drug degradation is analyzed using liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry. When the human urine samples containing drugs (10 or 50 ng drug per mL) are treated in MFCs, electricity production decreases in response to increasing drug concentrations. Upon addition of drugs‐containing urine, chemical oxygen demand removal capacity of MFCs decreases from 54% to 37%. Mass spectrometry results show that drugs are degraded at a rate of 10 ng mL−1 per hour for paroxetine, 11 ng mL−1 per hour for venlafaxine, and 16 ng mL−1 per hour for ODV, i.e., 94% of paroxetine, 66% of venlafaxine, and 48% of ODV is cleared in 9 h of treatment. In conclusion, MFC exhibits great potential in elimination of paroxetine, venlafaxine, and ODV from wastewater. These results can help to develop sustainable strategies to combat antidepressant pollution.

“…In the presence of 5.6 mM mevastatin, the chemical oxygen demand (%) removal was 56±5.6, when the concentration was increased to 10 mM, the removal increased to 86±1.6. Researchers often focused on removing antibiotics and heavy metals toxicity from wastewater, using MFC technology [2]. Studies on the elimination of lipid-regulating drugs from wastewaters are rare in the literature.…”

“…Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are one of the most studied research topics in recent years, especially due to the decreasing need for alternative clean energy resources [1]. MFC is an environmentally friendly biotechnological device that produces electrical energy from industrial or household wastes while providing wastewater treatment [2]. With the advantages it offers, MFCs are expected to be part of our lives in near future since they are environmentally benign and able to carry out operations in ambient conditions [3,4].…”

Mevastatin is one of the pollutants in wastewater that is difficult to biodegrade. In this study, the issue of mevastatin biodegradation and simultaneous electricity generation using microbial fuel cells, which is one of the current sustainable technologies, was investigated. Effects of mevastatin on the performance of single-chamber air-cathode microbial fuel cells were investigated. On average, 0.2 volts of electricity was generated in microbial fuel cells in the presence of 5.6 µM mevastatin, while mevastatin caused an important increase in coulombic efficiency, from 35±5% to 49±8. More than 90% of the mevastatin was removed in microbial fuel cells in approximately four days. In conclusion, mevastatin that causes toxicity in wastewaters could potentially be treated using microbial fuel cells. Meanwhile, mevastatin may enhance electricity generation either through improved electron transfer or suppressed methanogenesis during microbial fuel cell operations.
