Resumen:

Nowadays, the rapid decline of the environment caused by the generation of anthropogenic and industrial pollution is holding the attention of the scientific community. Systems of production need a new reconsideration to minimize solid, liquid, and gaseous effluents in order to preserve the ecosystems, along with sustainable development. The new tendency is wastewater valorization, which can be understood as the recovery of compounds from effluents with inorganic and organic contaminants. In this chapter, the bioelectrochemical transformation of contaminants in wastewater is described, taking into account the microbiology and electrochemical techniques. The chapter discusses wastewater treatment and the use or transformation of compounds recovered from wastewater. Moreover, technical aspects of using genomic, proteomics, and metabolomics approaches are examined taking into consideration the type of contaminant and the methodology for the transformation or recovery of products with added value and their possible incorporation into the industrial processes. Also, the addition of other type of effluents into the bioelectrochemistry process to obtain target products, such as bioenergetics, is reviewed with the consideration of the carbon footprint of the mentioned processes. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
