Abstract

Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been experimentally proven as a versatile bioelectrochemical system (BES). They have the potential to alleviate environmental pollution, reduce water scarcity and save energy and operational costs. However, MDCs alone are inadequate to realise a complete wastewater and desalination treatment at a high-efficiency performance. The assembly of identical MDC units that hydraulically and electrically connected can improve the performance better than standalone MDCs. In the same manner, the coupling of
MDCs with other BES or conventional water reclamation technology has also exhibits a promising performance. However, the scaling-up effort has been slowly progressing, leading to a lack of knowledge for guidingMDC technology
into practicality.Many challenges remain unsolved and should be mitigated before MDCs can be fully implemented
in real applications. Here,we aimto provide a comprehensive chronological-based reviewthat covers technological limitations and mitigation strategies,which have been developed for standaloneMDCs.We extend our discussion on how assembled, coupled and scaled-up MDCs have improved in comparison with standalone and lab-scaleMDC systems. This reviewalso outlines the prevailing challenges and potential mitigation strategies for scaling-up based on large-scale specifications and evaluates the prospects of selected MDC systems to be integrated with conventional anaerobic digestion (AD) and reverse osmosis (RO). This review offers several recommendations to promote up-scaling studies guided by the pilot scale BES and existing water reclamation technologies.
