Groundwater contamination is an ever-growing environmental issue that has attracted much
and undiminished attention for the past half century. Groundwater contamination may …

Bioelectrochemical systems which employ microbes as electrode catalysts to convert
chemical energy into electrical energy (or conversely), have emerged in recent years for …

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) generate electricity through the oxidation of reduced
compounds, such as sulfide or organic carbon compounds, buried in anoxic sediments. The …

Electrobioremediation technologies hold considerable potential for the treatment of soils
contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons (PH), since they allow stimulating biodegradation …

Degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons (HC) in sediments is often limited by the availability
of electron acceptors. By allowing long-distance electron transport (LDET) between anoxic …

Abstract Treatment of wastewaters with high concentration of sulfate before discharge is an
environmental imperative. However, current technologies are often highly energy-and …

Microbial bioremediation based on nano-to micrometer-scale electron transport has been
intensively studied during the past decade, but its application can be hindered by a …

Remediation of anthropogenic pollutants in our environment has become an imperative of
the 21st century in order to sustain human activity and all life on the planet. With the current …

A microbial electrochemical snorkel (MES) is formed by the direct coupling of a microbial
anode with a cathode, which may or may not be biotic. It can be considered as a short …

Due to the industrial emissions and accidental spills, the critical material for modern
industrial society petroleum pollution causes severe ecological damage. The prosperous oil …
