Electro-bioremediation
Patent number:
No items found.
Microbial electrochemical technologies are used for the bioremediation of contaminated waters. Electroactive bacteria capable to use an electrode as electron donor or electron acceptor allow the removal of ammonium, arsenic and nitrate. Bioelectrochemical reactors are engineered and operated for the selective bioremediation of the target pollutant at low energy costs and without the need of chemicals addition (common method for dealing with these contaminants).
