Abstract
Sediment is the internal and external source of water environment pollution, so sediment remediation is the premise of water body purification. Sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) can remove the organic pollutants in sediment by electroactive microorganisms, compete with methanogens for electrons, and realize resource recycling, methane emission inhibiting and energy recovering. Due to these characteristics, SMFC have attracted wide attention for sediment remediation. In this paper, we comprehensively summarized the recent advances of SMFC in the following areas: (1) The advantages and disadvantages of current applied sediment remediation technologies; (2) The basic principles and influencing factors of SMFC; (3) The application of SMFC for pollutant removal, phosphorus transformation and remote monitoring and power supply; (4) Enhancement strategies for SMFC in sediments remediation such as SMFC coupled with constructed wetland, aquatic plant and iron-based reaction. Finally, we have summarized the drawback of SMFC and discuss the future development directions of applying SMFC for sediment bioremediation.
