Abstract

Key findings

  • Hydrogen peroxide production in bioelectrochemical systems can reduce membrane fouling by up to 70%
  • The addition of hydrogen peroxide to membrane bioreactors can improve water treatment efficiency and reduce energy consumption
  • Bioelectrochemical systems can be designed to produce hydrogen peroxide in situ, eliminating the need for external chemicals
