Effects of an applied electric field on the composting process of organic wastes: A review
Electric field-assisted aerobic composting (EFAC), as an emerging organic solid waste treatment technology, significantly improves composting efficiency and product quality and reduces environmental risks through the directional regulation of microbial metabolism and electron transfer pathways by an exogenous electric field. In this paper, a systematic review was conducted on the effects of EFAC, focusing on its system configuration analysis, compost physicochemical properties, humification process, carbon and nitrogen conversion, heavy metal immobilization, emerging contaminants, greenhouse gas emission, and microbial community succession. Notably, compared to conventional aerobic composting, the application of an electric field enhances oxygen utilization, minimizes anaerobic zones, and boosts thermophilic and electroactive bacteria. This accelerates compost maturation and reduces processing time. In addition, future research could focus on the mechanism of additive synergism, elucidation of the specific mechanism of electron transfer, and scale-up applications. It aims to provide a reference basis for future research related to the application of EFAC technology in the field of organic waste treatment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (JECE) serves as a platform for the dissemination of original and innovative research focusing on the advancement of environmentally-friendly, sustainable technologies. JECE emphasizes the transition towards a carbon-neutral circular economy and a self-sufficient bio-based economy. Topics covered include soil, water, wastewater, and air decontamination; pollution monitoring, prevention, and control; advanced analytics, sensors, impact and risk assessment methodologies in environmental chemical engineering; resource recovery (water, nutrients, materials, energy); industrial ecology; valorization of waste streams; waste management (including e-waste); climate-water-energy-food nexus; novel materials for environmental, chemical, and energy applications; sustainability and environmental safety; water digitalization, water data science, and machine learning; process integration and intensification; recent developments in green chemistry for synthesis, catalysis, and energy; and original research on contaminants of emerging concern, persistent chemicals, and priority substances, including microplastics, nanoplastics, nanomaterials, micropollutants, antimicrobial resistance genes, and emerging pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites) of environmental significance.
