Abstract
⺠Bacteria generate electricity while oxidizing organic matter in wastewater. ⺠Electricity produced can be used to desalinate salt water without any other energy input. ⺠Salt removal can be very high (> 95%) but this requires a large amount of wastewater. ⺠Stacked ion exchange, forward osmosis, or bipolar membranes can be used in MDCs. ⺠Low current densities, pH, membrane integrity, and safety issues need further investigation.
