Systematic Investigation of Microbial Desalination Cells (MDC) Performance under the Impact of Cation Migration Behavior and Multi-cation Interactions in Industrial Wastewater
Abstract:Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) provide a sustainable approach to desalinate saltwater powered by bacterial metabolism during organic oxidation. A systematic study was conducted to clarify the ion-dominated interactions for preventing unpredictable risks for long-term MDC operations in the treatment of complex ion-containing wastewaters. The investigation showed that the migration and unequal scaling of cations at different ion exchange membrane (IEM) surfaces greatly influenced their transmembrane process… Show more
