“…They can be treated by electrochemical techniques to convert them into insoluble solid forms like elemental sulfur 5-10 or pyrite. [11][12][13][14] Recently, microbial fuel cells (MFC) have been developed for wastewater treatment in which bioelectrochemical methods are used to mineralize organic and inorganic matters to non-toxic forms and at the same time generate electricity. This approach has a number of advantages over existing methods including superior efficiency, minimal area requirements, less maintenance and high stability.…”

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.
