Stacked multi-electrode design of microbial electrolysis cells for rapid and low-sludge treatment of municipal wastewater

Abstract Background Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can be used for energy recovery and sludge reduction in wastewater treatment. Electric current density, which represents the rate of wastewater treatment and H2 production, is not sufficiently high for practical applications of MECs with real w...
