Abstract

The high salinity and complicated chemical makeup of industrial effluent create a serious threat to the environment. Traditional treatment procedures are not always successful in eradicating water impurities, whereas desalination operations can be both expensive and requires a lot of energy usage. To deal with that, microbial desalination cell (MDC) technology has emerged as a viable option in recent years for the purification of industrial wastewater. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce readers to MDCs and their potential uses in industrial wastewater treatment by discussing their basic concepts, essential parts, performance evaluation, and potential in the future. In addition, the challenges and prospective strategies for enhancing MDC effectiveness and commercial viability are discussed.
