Chroococcus minor cathode and polyphenolic mediated anode for enhancing bioenergy and bioremediation in a novel microbial desalination cell
The algal biocathode offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to chemical cathodes in microbial desalination cells (MDCs). This study evaluated Chroococcus minor as a biocathode with Shewanella putrefaciens MTCC 8104 (Sh-MDC) and mixed culture (Mx-MDC) exoelectrogens in a novel concentrically arranged MDC using sago effluent as anolyte and 30 g/L NaCl in the central desalination chamber. The influence of microalgal growth on MDC performance was monitored over 30 days. Sh-MDC achieved a peak power density of 31.7 ± 0.6 mW/m2, while Mx-MDC reached 20.8 ± 0.4 mW/m2 between days 10–15, comparable to abiotic MDCs. Mx-MDC recorded the highest COD removal (92.9 ± 2 %) between days 25–30, along with significant removal of metals (Al, Ag, Pb) from sago effluent. Microbial community analysis of Mx-MDC revealed a high abundance of electrogenic populations. The system's application for brackish water treatment in the desalination chamber was assessed. To improve performance, plant-derived mediators, Chrysopogon zizanioides (vetiver) and Allium cepa (onion) peel extracts were added to the anode chamber. The C. zizanioides-mediated Mx-MDC exhibited a 1.98-fold increase in power density compared to non-mediated systems. COD removal and desalination efficiencies improved to 94.3 ± 1.9 % and 21.5 ± 0.43 %, respectively. Thus, C. zizanioides extract is a sustainable mediator enhancing the performance of Mx-MDC over Sh-MDC. Optimizing electrogenic populations and adapting Chroococcus minor to brackish conditions can further improve MDC efficiency, while the harvested algal biomass offers potential reuse, supporting a circular economy.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
