In recent years, source-separated human urine has been highlighted as an effective resource for energy and nutrient recovery. However, even though several technologies exist for resource recovery, they have not been widely implemented. Among these technologies, bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) hold promise as technically and economically interesting alternatives for sustainable resource recovery from source-separated urine. Here, we review the resource recovery performance of BESs, including microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and microbial electrolysis cells (MECs), fed with source-separated urine over the past decade, and suggest an effective path forward toward their widespread implementation.
近年来，分源人尿已被强调为能源和营养回收的有效资源。然而，尽管有几种技术可用于资源回收，但它们尚未得到广泛应用。在这些技术中，生物电化学系统（BES）作为从分源尿液中可持续回收资源的具有技术和经济吸引力的替代方案，具有广阔的应用前景。在这里，我们回顾了过去十年中，以分源人尿为底物的生物电化学系统（包括微生物燃料电池（MFC）和微生物电解池（MEC））在资源回收性能方面的研究进展，并提出了实现其广泛应用的有效途径。
