Simultaneously recovering electricity and water from wastewater by osmotic microbial fuel cells: Performance and membrane fouling
Abstract
OsMFC can simultaneously recover electricity and water from wastewater. Membrane fouling played an important role in flux decline of FO membrane in OsMFCs. Biofouling was the major fouling of the FO membrane in OsMFCs. The growth of biofouling layer on the FO membrane can be divided into three stages. Microorganisms were the dominant biofoulant in the biofouling layer.
