Abstract

Carbon emissions from wastewater treatment contribute to global warming and have received widespread attention. It is necessary to seek low-carbon wastewater treatment technologies. Microbial fuel cells (MFC) and osmotic microbial fuel cells (OsMFC) are low-carbon technologies that enable both wastewater treatment and energy recovery. In this study, MFC and OsMFC were used to treat sulfamethoxazole (SMX) wastewater, and direct carbon emissions during operation was calculated. The highest SMX removal rate can reach about 40%. Simultaneously, the CH₄ emission factor was significantly reduced to less than 6 g CO₂/kg of chemical oxygen demand. The accumulation of SMX-degrading bacteria competed with methanogens for carbon source utilization, leading to a significant decrease in the relative abundance of methanogens. It is hoped that this study can provide a sustainable approach to antibiotic wastewater treatment and promote the development of low-carbon wastewater treatment technologies.
