Abstract:

Three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactors (3D-BERs) are highly efficient in refractory wastewater treatment. In comparison to conventional bio-electrochemical systems, the filled particle electrodes act as both electrodes and microbial carriers in 3D-BERs. This article reviews the conception and basic mechanisms of 3D-BERs, as well as their current development. The advantages of 3D-BERs are illustrated with an emphasis on the synergy of electricity and microorganisms. Electrode materials utilized in 3D-BERs are systematically summarized, especially the critical particle electrodes. The configurations of 3D-BERs and their integration with wastewater treatment reactors are introduced. Operational parameters and the adaptation of 3D-BERs to varieties of wastewater are discussed. The prospects and challenges of 3D-BERs for wastewater treatment are then presented, and the future research directions are proposed. We believe that this timely review will help to attract more attentions on 3D-BERs investigation, thus promoting the potential application of 3D-BERs in wastewater treatment.
