However, due to the typical configuration of MFCs, i.e., anaerobic anode and aerobic cathode compartments, the MFC effluent still contains various ionic pollutants, e.g., NO3− and PO43−. In this study, we present the proof-of-concept of an integrated MFC-CDI process for advanced wastewater treatment: the cost-effective continuous-flow MFCs perform as secondary treatment for organic carbon and ammonium removal, electricity production; the energy-efficient CDI cell works as the tertiary treatment to enhance the purification and desalination of domestic wastewater effluent. The results indicated that approximately 90% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonium were removed in the MFCs. CDI, powered by connecting two MFCs in parallel and associated with a potential of 0.49 V, could subsequently remove multi-ionic species from the MFC-treated effluent. More specifically, nutrient ions (NO3− and PO43−) can be electrostatically removed by the CDI process. These results demonstrated that the integrated MFC-CDI technology, which harvested energy from wastewater, held great potential to be an advanced, energy-saving purification process for the simultaneous removal of carbonaceous pollutants, improved nutrient removal, and further electrosorptive desalination of domestic wastewater treatment, in order to achieve a sustainable water-energy system. They also showed that, in addition to effluent quality improvement, the tertiary electrosorption of CDI played a significant role in the stability of effluent quality so as to dampen variations in the quality of secondary-treated effluent. © 2017 Elsevier B.V. |
