Abstract

Anaerobic biological technology and bioelectrochemical technology are regarded as promising sustainable wastes treatment processes. With biocatalysis in BESs anode or cathode, various pollutants can be removed. The pollutants range from nitrogen and sulfur to complex compounds. However, the investigation on recalcitrant wastes removal with biocathode has only been reported recently. Recalcitrant wastes, especially chlorinated nitroaromatic compounds, are highly persistent and toxic environmental pollutions which should be removed before discharging to environment. This paper provides a review on anaerobic biocathode BESs for recalcitrant wastes treatment and the feasibility of this system for CANs transformation. It is expected that anaerobic biocathode BESs can provide an appropriate condition for these compounds to transform to easily degradable forms. The technical challenges for future research are also discussed.
