Abstract
To date, dozens of pilot-scale microbial fuel cell (MFC) devices have been successfully developed worldwide for treating various types of wastewater. The availability and configurations of separators are determining factors for the economic feasibility, efficiency, sustainability, and operability of these devices. Thus, the concomitant advances between the separators and pilot-scale MFC configurations deserve further clarification. The analysis of separator configurations has shown that their evolution proceeds as follows: from ion-selective to ion-non-selective, from nonpermeable to permeable, and from abiotic to biotic. Meanwhile, their cost is decreasing and their availability is increasing. Notably, the novel MFCs configured with biotic separators are superior to those configured with abiotic separators in terms of wastewater treatment efficiency and capital cost. Herein, a highly comprehensive review of pilot-scale MFCs (>100 L) has been conducted, and we conclude that the intensive stack of the liquid cathode configuration is more advantageous when wastewater treatment is the highest priority. The use of permeable biotic separators ensures hydrodynamic continuity within the MFCs and simplifies reactor configuration and operation. In addition, a systemic comparison is conducted between pilot-scale MFC devices and conventional decentralized wastewater treatment processes. MFCs showed comparable cost, higher efficiency, long-term stability, and significant superiority in carbon emission reduction. The development of separators has greatly contributed to the availability and usability of MFCs, which will play an important role in various wastewater treatment scenarios in the future.

Abstract
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have made significant progress in recent years in all aspects of their technology. BESs usually work with a membrane or a separator, which is one of their most critical components affecting performance. Quite often, biofilm from either the anolyte or catholyte forms on the membrane, which can negatively affect its performance. In critical cases, the long-term power performance observed for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has dropped by over 90%. Surface modification and composite material approaches as well as chemical and physical cleaning techniques involving surfactants, acids, hydroxides, and ultrasounds have been successfully implemented to combat biofilm formation. Surface modifications produced up to 6–7 times higher power performance in the long-term, whereas regeneration strategies resulted in up to 100% recovery of original performance. Further studies include tools such as fluid dynamics-based design and plasma cleaning. The biofouling area is still underexplored in the field of bioelectrochemistry and requires systematic improvement. Therefore, this review summarizes the most recent knowledge with the aim of helping the research and engineering community select the best strategy and discuss further perspectives for combating the undesirable biofilm.

ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2022:1-12.

Abstract
The separator is an important component of the microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which separates anode and cathode entities and facilitates ion transfer between both. Despite the high research in separators in recent years, the need for cost-effective, waste-driven selective separators in MFCs persists. Present study discloses the strategic fabrication of functionalized-tea-waste-ash-clay (FTWA-C) composite separator by integrating functionalized tea waste ash (FTWA) with potter's clay. Clay was used as a base, while FTWA was used as cation exchanger. FTWA and clay were separately mixed in four different ratios, 00:100 (C1); 05:95 (C2); 10:90 (C3); 15:85 (C4). Mixtures were then crafted manually as consecutive four layers. C1-side faced anode while separator-cathode-assembly was developed at C4. The separator was characterized by evaluating proton and oxygen transfer coefficient, and water-uptake analysis. The separator was also analysed for elemental composition, microstructure, particle size, and surface area and porous structure. SEM analysis of FTWA showed the presence of 15-100 nm pores. EDS analysis of the FTWA-C showed the presence of hygroscopic oxides, mainly SO42- and SiO2. A slight peak observed at P/Po∼1, confirmed the presence of macropores. The FTWA-C separator showed proton transfer coefficient as high as 18.7 × 10-5 cm/s, and oxygen mass transfer coefficient of 2.1 × 10-4 cm/s. The FTWA-C displayed the highest operating voltage of 612.4.2 mV, the power density of 1.81 W/m3, and COD removal efficiency of 87.52%. The fabrication cost of this separator was estimated to be $9.8/m2. FTWA-C could be an affordable and high-efficiency alternative for expensive ion-exchange membranes in MFCs.

Ibuprofen degradation and energy generation in a microbial fuel cell using a bioanode fabricated from devil fish bone char. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH.

Abstract
Ibuprofen degradation and energy generation in a single-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) were evaluated using a bioanode fabricated from devil fish bone char (BCA) synthesized by calcination in air atmosphere. Its performance was compared with conventional carbon felt (CF). Bone char textural properties were determined by nitrogen adsorption. Before and after, the bacterial colonization on the materials was analyzed by environmental scanning electron microscopy. Energy generation was evaluated by electrochemical techniques as open-circuit potential, linear sweep voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Ibuprofen degradation was analyzed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Ultraviolet, and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was measured. Results showed a specific area of 136 m2/g for BCA, having enough space to immobilize microorganisms. The micrographs confirmed the biofilm formation on the electrode materials. Over the 14 days, MFC with BCA reached a maximum power density of 4.26 mW/m2, 175% higher than CF, and an electron transfer resistance 2.1 times lower than it. This coincides with the COD removal and ibuprofen degradation efficiencies, which were 43.6% and 34% for BCA and 31.8% and 27% for CF. Hence, these findings confirmed that BCA in MFC could provide an alternative electrode material for ibuprofen degradation and energy generation.

Abstract
Towards the commercialisation of microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, well-performing, cost-effective, and sustainable separators are being developed. Ceramic is one of the promising materials for this purpose. In this study, ceramic separators made of three different clay types were tested to investigate the effect of ceramic material properties on their performance. The best-performing ceramic separators were white ceramic-based spotty membranes, which produced maximum power outputs of 717.7 ± 29.9 µW (white ceramic-based with brown spots, 71.8 W·m−3) and 715.3 ± 73.0 µW (white ceramic-based with red spots, 71.5 W·m−3). For single material ceramic types, red ceramic separator generated the highest power output of 670.5 ± 64. 8 µW (67.1 W·m−3). Porosity investigation revealed that white and red ceramics are more porous and have smaller pores compared to brown ceramic. Brown ceramic separators underperformed initially but seem more favourable for long-term operation due to bigger pores and thus less tendency of membrane fouling. This study presents ways to enhance the function of ceramic separators in MFCs such as the novel spotty design as well as fine-tuning of porosity and pore size.

Abstract
Separators are considered as an important component in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to facilitate ion transport and to prevent electrode short circuiting. In the present study, expanded polystyrene (EPS) was evaluated for the first time as a separator in a single-chamber air cathode and dual chamber aqueous cathode MFCs. The characteristics and performance of EPS were analyzed and compared with other conventionally used separators used in MFCs and was found to be competitive. Initially, the EPS was less impermeable to protons, resulting in delayed process startup (17 days) and stabilization (57 days), but gradually exhibited improved and stable performance. In the air cathode MFC with the EPS as the separator and domestic wastewater as the substrate, power production was 391 mW/m2, while power output of the aqueous cathode MFC was 328 mW/m2. The characteristics and cost analysis of EPS indicate that it can be a potential candidate as a separator in scaled-up MFC applications.

Abstract
The scope of the review is to discuss the current state of knowledge and lessons learned on biofouling of membrane separators being used for microbial electrochemical technologies (MET). It is illustrated what crucial membrane features have to be considered and how these affect the MET performance, paying particular attention to membrane biofouling. The complexity of the phenomena was demonstrated and thereby, it is shown that membrane qualities related to its surface and inherent material features significantly influence (and can be influenced by) the biofouling process. Applicable methods for assessment of membrane biofouling are highlighted, followed by the detailed literature evaluation. Finally, an outlook on e.g. possible mitigation strategies for membrane biofouling in MET is provided.

Abstract
Algae are autotrophic organisms that are widespread in water bodies. Increased pollution in water bodies leads to eutrophication. However, algae growing in lakes undergoing eutrophication could be utilized towards the generation of added-value bio-electricity using microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In the present study, two methods of electricity generation using raw algae (RA) and RA + acetate (AC) as co-substrate were analyzed in single chamber air cathode MFCs. MFCs supplemented with RA and RA + AC clearly showed higher power density, greater current generation, and improved COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal, which demonstrated the feasibility of using AC as substrate for MFC. The MFC-RA + AC (0.48 mA) generated 28% higher current relative to that generated by MFC with RA alone. Notably, the maximum power densities generated by MFC-RA and MFC-RA + AC were 230 and 410 mW/m2, respectively. MFC-RA and MFC-RA + AC exhibited TCOD (total chemical oxygen reduction) removal values of 77% and 86.6%, respectively. Despite the high influent TCOD (758 mg/l) concentration, the MFC-RA + AC exhibited an 8.5% higher COD removal relative to that of MFC-RA (525 mg/l). Our current findings demonstrated effective energy generation using algae biomass with a co-substrate.
