BESs with the anion exchange membrane (AEM) under cathodic applied potentials of −0.6 V vs. AgCl/AgCl reference electrode showed a removal rate of 99 ± 2 mg L−1 d−1. Moreover, organic compounds from the untreated full-strength wastewater were simultaneously eliminated in the anode chamber with a removal rate of 0.46 g COD L−1 d−1 with achieved efficiency of 61.4 ± 0.5% from an initial concentration of around 5 g of COD L−1, measured over the course of 7 days. The highest microbial diversity was detected in BESs under potentials of −0.6 V, which include autotrophic denitrifiers such as Syderoxidans, Gallionela and Thiobacillus.}, title = {Concurrent treatment of raw and aerated swine wastewater using an electrotrophic denitrification system}, volume = {322}, year = {2020} }
