Bioelectrochemical processes

Processes that use sacrificial anodes and stable anodes to promote the chemical precipitation of compounds of interest by using a microbial fuel cell (MFC) to generate the energy required by the process

Liquid streams rich in N-ammoniacal and/or P-orthophosphoric

Although N and P recovery efficiencies above 90% have been reported, these percentages will depend significantly on the type and surface of the membrane and electrode used and the characteristics of the treated wastewater

The process is sensitive to pH, toxicity events and the applied organic load. So, the process can be unstable in the face of fluctuating loads, in which case the application of electrochemical methods is more interesting;
