Abstract

To address the ever-growing environmental problem of groundwater contamination, microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) are being studied as promising substitutes for traditional remediation techniques. Among their many advantages, they possess the capability of providing a virtually inexhaustible electron acceptor (or donor) directly in the aquifer without addition of air, oxygen or other chemicals. In this way, they can promote microbially-driven oxidation and/or reduction of contaminants in-situ, in a more sustainable and cost-effective way.
