Constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are compatible technologies since both are reliant on the actions of bacteria to remove contaminants from wastewater. MFCs require the anode to remain anaerobic with the cathode exposed to oxygen while these redox conditions can develop naturally in CWs. For this reason, research into combining the two technologies (termed as CW-MFC) has emerged in recent years with the aim of improving the wastewater treatment capacity of wetlands while simultaneously producing electrical power. Based on the published work (although limited), this review aims to provide a timely, current state-of-the-art in CW-MFC while exploring future challenges and research directions.
人工湿地 (CWs) 和微生物燃料电池 (MFCs) 是兼容的技术,因为两者都依赖细菌的作用来去除废水中的污染物。MFC 要求阳极保持厌氧状态,阴极暴露在氧气中,而这些氧化还原条件可以在 CWs 中自然形成。出于这个原因,近年来出现了将这两种技术结合起来的研究(称为 CW-MFC),旨在提高湿地的废水处理能力,同时产生电力。基于已发表的工作(尽管有限),本综述旨在提供 CW-MFC 的及时、当前的最新技术状况,同时探索未来的挑战和研究方向。
