Abstract:

b ABSTRACT b Inaccessibility and expensiveness of vital infrastructures are the main problems in some urban and rural areas to supply fresh water sustainable energy and wastewater treatment An effective solution is the integration of several systems in an environmentally friendly technology of the photosynthetic microbial desalination cell PMDC The aim of this study is to assess the process characterisation of an algae based PMDC which was loaded with a high strength mixture of human feces and urine HFS The PMDC was also able to efficiently remove COD and total nitrogen of HFS by 50 and 94 respectively The maximum power density voltage and desalination efficiency of 362 5 mW m 175 2 mV and 60 were accomplished Adequate parameter adjustment led to a remarkable maximum of 2 25 g L d in the ion removal rate In addition an energy balance was governed showing that zero or positive net energy in PMDC is feasible by replacing the main energy consumers Based on the results this type of MDC had a high efficiency for simultaneous saline water desalination and HFS treatment which makes it attractive for further studies of upscaling and its application in remote areas
