Abstract

Abstract This system [microbial desalination cell (MDC)] is considered an excellent sustainable process to treat wastewater by biological anaerobic oxidation of the organic material by electroactive bacteria, desalinate saltwater, and electrical power generation. In the present work, MDC was used for treating oil refinery wastewater in the anode chamber by anaerobic bacteria. Simultaneously, an air pump was used to provide the oxygen to the cathode chamber as an electron acceptor to generate bioelectricity power. The power density generated by this air cathode MDC with 1KΩ external resistance at the 1 st experiment was 71.11 μW/m 2 . It increased to a peak value of 570.86 μW/m 2 at the last experiment. The maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal percent of oily wastewater was 96%. The higher salinity removal rate 150.39 ppm/h with a first salt concentration in a desalinating chamber of 35000 ppm.
