Abstract

Key findings

  • The reactor demonstrated high removal efficiencies for COD (up to 95%) and ammonia (up to 99%) in wastewater treatment.
  • The bioelectrochemical membrane reactor showed improved performance compared to traditional membrane bioreactors in terms of treatment efficiency and membrane fouling.
  • The reactor's electrochemical process enhanced the biodegradation of organic pollutants, while the membrane separation effectively removed suspended solids and contaminants.
