Abstract:
Constructed wetland (CW) is a mature technology with low cost and good efficiency for wastewater treatment. A series of intensified CW systems have been developed in recent years to further optimize this technology and reduce construction costs. In the past decade, there has been growing interest in exploring the possibility of merging microbial electrochemical technology (MET) with CW, offering a new option of an intensified wetland system that could maintain high performance with a lower footprint. Based on this concept, the general principles of MET, and the possibility and benefits of merging with CW were introduced. The development and evolution of several merging systems of constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC), constructed wetland-microbial electrolytic cell (CW-MEC) and constructed wetland-microbial electrochemical snorkel (CW-MES) were highlighted. In addition, the challenges and development prospects of the merging systems were discussed. It is expected to provide a reference for the further development of MET and CW coupling technology.
