    Abstract

    A two-chamber Microbial Electrolysis Cell (MEC) has been studied to investigate the organicremoval efficiency and to improve the performance. The test result shows the impact ofvarious concentrations of microorganisms in anode on COD removal in the anode as well asthe significant effect of temperature for higher performance. Also, the idea of air-cathodereactor has been extracted from the MEC concept to simultaneously supress sulphideproduction in pipe lines and preventing corrosion.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
