Abstract
Anaerobic digestion is a well versed technology for treating organic waste and converting the organic matter into biogas to be subsequently used as fuel or converted into electricity. Over the years, anaerobic digestion has been widely used for the treatment of industrial and domestic wastewaters as well as organic solid waste, while simultaneously generating biogas. On the other hand, bio-electrochemical systems (BES) are one of the prominent and upcoming ways of harnessing organic matter into bioelectricity and industrially valuable products, such as hydrogen, methane, biofuels, and hydrogen peroxide. This chapter reviews the hybridization of BES and anaerobic digestion for enhanced pollutant removal and pollutant monitoring in the form of nutrient removal and recovery, polishing of anaerobically treated effluent, biogas upgrading, application of biosensors, and merger of BES in anaerobic digestion for emerging contaminant removal. Additionally, a brief discussion on the future prospect of the synergy of these two technologies has also been highlighted.
