Abstract

Water resources are an important source of energy for Human existence. Water shortages and Water environmental pollution are receiving more and more attention. Desalination of seawater and brackish water, recovery and utilization of municipal wastewater and industrial wastewater are two important ways to increase water resources. In this paper, the Microbial Desalination Cell is coupled with the bio-algae-inhibiting technology. Based on the original MDC, the water purification system, the algal inhibition system and the water delivery system are established, and the design parameters are optimized.A new reactor of algal-inhibition based on Microbial Desalination Cell (A-MDC) with anti-algal function was designed and constructed, and preliminary study of its algae-inhibiting performance. The maximum inhibition rate of algae can reach 79.41%. Compared with other treatment methods and technology, Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) has obvious technical characteristics and advantages, and has great development potential.
