Article Abstract
Cr(VI) and p-chlorophenol (4-CP) are common pollutants in the aquatic environment but are difficult to degrade and have complex toxic effects. A downflow microbial fuel cell (DLCW-MFC) system was constructed to purify Cr(VI) and 4-CP polluted wastewater, as well as to investigate the effects of different pHs on Cr(VI) and 4-CP removal, electrochemical performance, physiological and biochemical responses, and Cr enrichment status of . . The results showed that the DLCW-MFC had the highest Cr(VI) and 4-CP removal rates at pH 6.5, which were 99.0% and 78.6%, respectively. At the same time, 543 mV output voltage and 72.25 mW/m power density of the system were generated at pH 6.5, which were better than those at pH 7.4 and pH 5.8. The electrochemical performance result showed that pH 6.5 enhanced charge transfer ability and ion diffusion ability of the system. pH 6.5 also promoted growth and photosynthesis, and enhanced the Cr enrichment capacity (4.56 mg/10 plants) of . These results demonstrate that pH 6.5 was the optimum pH for the DLCW-MFC synchronous treatment of Cr(VI) and 4-CP as well as the generation of electricity. The DLCW-MFC designed in this study will provide a reference for purifying polluted wastewater and generating electricity.

Article Synopsis
- Zero-valent iron (ZVI) reduction is an effective method for water cleanup, but its use has been hindered by challenges like aggregation and passivation.
- Researchers introduced a new approach using a photocatalyst made from Pd/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles supported on a semiconducting material, which significantly improved the efficiency of removing pollutants like 4-chlorophenol and Cr(VI) when exposed to visible light.
- The study highlights a synergistic effect between photocatalysis and ZVI reduction, confirming dual mechanisms for pollutant reduction and demonstrating the catalyst's effectiveness across various pH levels and real-water scenarios, indicating its practical application potential.

Constructed wetland-microbial fuel cells are used to treat heavy metal and/or refractory organic wastewater. However, the electron transport mechanism of downflow Leersia hexandra constructed wetland-microbial fuel cells (DLCW-MFCs) is poorly understood when used to treat composite-polluted wastewater containing Cr(VI) and p-chlorophenol (4-CP) (C&P). In this study, metagenomics and in situ electrochemical techniques were used to investigate the electrochemical properties and the electricigens and their dominant gene functions.

The composite pollution by Cr(VI) and p-chlorophenol (4-CP) has high toxicity and harms water safety. However, research on the effective removal of Cr(VI) and 4-CP composite-polluted wastewater (C&P) and efficient synchronous electricity generation with reclaimed resources is limited. In this study, a downflow Leersia hexandra constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (DLCW-MFC) was builded to treat C&P, as well as wastewater singularly polluted by Cr(VI) (SC) and 4-CP (SP), respectively, to reveal the mechanism by which DLCW-MFC treats C&P and synchronously generates electricity.

Heavy metals and phenolic compounds existing in polluted wastewater are a threat to the environment and human safety. A downflow Swartz constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (DLCW-MFC) was designed to treat polluted wastewater containing Cr(vi) and -chlorophenol (4-CP). To determine the effect of 4-CP concentration and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the performance of the DLCW-MFC system, the wastewater purification, electricity generation, electrochemical performance, and growth status were studied.
