Abstract
Abstract Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are the most recent promising technology for the recovery of energy through treating wastewater. BESs have various applications, such as wastewater treatment, energy recovery as electricity and biogas production (methane or hydrogen), and value-added chemical production. Among BESs, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) show simultaneous power production while treating wastewater, and microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) recover energy as biogas by treating wastewater. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of energy recovery from food wastewater through MFCs and MECs. Various food processing wastewater characteristics, configurations, and components of MFCs and MECs, reactor performance, treatment efficiency, power production, and recent advancements are discussed in depth in this chapter.
