Bioelectrochemical Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment

Toxic and hazardous pollutant treatment of wastewater is a longstanding challenge faced in every region across the globe. Growing urbanization, combined with the increased use of detergent soaps, cleansing agents with new formulations, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, has greatly added to the global wastewater pollution burden. Conventional methods of wastewater treatment are somewhat successful in decontamination, but these current techniques require more time and energy than newer, novel techniques. Bioelectrochemical oxidation systems (BEOSs), for example, have greatly aided in wastewater treatment sustainability and efficiency, and offer promising solutions for different types of energy recovery options. Bioelectrochemical Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment examines the latest hybrid technologies utilizing algae, bacteria, and various other chemical agents, and discusses the major challenges in large-scale operations, as well as forward-looking techniques to make treatment processes even more sustainable in the future.
