Petroleum industries are large water consumers and generate a lot of wastewater at various
stages of industrial operations. Wastewater from the petroleum industries contain recalcitrant …

Raw metals are fundamental to the global economy as they are essential to maintain the
quality of our life as well as industrial performance. A number of metal-bearing aqueous …

This letter presents the proof of concept of a novel bio-electroconcentration system (BEC), a
hybrid microbial electrolysis/electrodialysis cell specifically designed to recover nitrogen (as …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organics is a challenging task under high-strength sulfate (SO 4
2−) conditions. The generation of toxic sulfides by SO 4 2−-reducing bacteria (SRB) causes …

Bacterial synthesis of polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) is a potential approach for producing
biodegradable plastics. This study assessed the ability of Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE …

Produced water (PW) is the largest liquid waste stream generated during the exploration
and drilling process of both the conventional hydrocarbon based resources like crude oil …

The mining sector is currently under unprecedented pressure due to stringent environmental
regulations. As a consequence, a permanent acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment is …

Groundwater pollution is a serious worldwide concern. Aromatic compounds, chlorinated
hydrocarbons, metals and nutrients among others can be widely found in different aquifers …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of sulfate-reducing bacteria on performance
of a mixed culture microbial electrosynthesis system (MES). The two-chamber MESs were …

Sulfur oxide emissions can lead to acidic precipitation and health concerns. Flue gas
desulfurization (FGD) systems treat these emissions generating a wastewater with high …
