Simultaneous methane removal and nitrification in a bioelectrochemical system: feasibility and mechanism

Puntos clave

• Methane removal efficiency reached 80% in the bioelectrochemical system, indicating high effectiveness.
• Key evidence shows that rapid nitrification occurred simultaneously with methane removal in a controlled environment.
• Assessment using a bioelectrochemical system focused on electrode reactions and microbial activity rates.
• Findings support the potential for bioelectrochemical systems to address methane emissions and enhance wastewater treatment.
