Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | EU-ISMET, Newcastle, 12/09/2018 - 14/09/2018 | Abstract: | Emerging contaminants like pesticides and pharmaceuticals in wastewater are an increasing environmental issue. Where traditional wastewater treatment technologies are energy demanding and/or creating chemical waste, microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) in existing applications such as constructed wetlands can be a durable alternative. Char, a low-cost carbon-based material made through pyrolysis of waste biomass, provides a large surface area for bacterial attachment. Based on pyrolysis conditions it can function as an anode material. This poster provides a general introduction of what we have termed CiMER (Char included Microbial Electrochemical Remediation) and the proposed methodology towards the envisaged contaminant remediation. | Notes: | Experiments were performed in part by student F. Mare. Char was delivered by UHasselt Chemistry department (T. Haeldermans, K. Vanreppelen), activated carbon by the company Chemviron. | Keywords: | microbial electrochemistry; remediation; Geobacter; wastewater treatment; pesticides; pharmaceuticals | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/28262 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
