Effect on various electrode materials in treating spent caustic wastewater using bioelectrochemical cell (BeCC)

Spent caustic is an industrial wastewater that is generated from petroleum refineries and it is the most difficult of all industrial wastes to dispose or treat properly. In this study, treatment of wastewater using bioelectrochemical cell (BeCC) seems to be promising technology to treat spent causti...
