Several emerging technologies for treatment or resource recovery from wastewater are based on the combination of membranes and biochemical conversions. In this chapter, we review gas-diffusion, extractive, biocatalytic, and electrochemical membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Gas diffusion MBRs facilitate efficient delivery of a gaseous oxidant or reductant such as oxygen, hydrogen, or methane to microbial biofilms treating wastewater. Extractive MBRs completely separate the wastewater stream from the microbes and make toxic wastewaters amenable to biological treatment. Biocatalytic MBRs utilize enzymes or immobilized microbial cells for degradation of persistent xenobiotics or for synthesis of fine chemicals. Electrochemical MBRs make it possible to utilize …

We theoretically calculate the nonlinear optical spectrum of two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction in terahertz frequency regime. For Rashba coupling parameter in the order of 0.4 eVÅ, the nonlinear optical response exceeds the linear response with the application of an external electric field strength in the order of 103 V/cm.
