The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable energy. Due to free energy requirements and environmentally friendly technologies, MDC recently received considerable attention for desalination and wastewater treatment. The technology can either be used as a stand-alone process, or can be combined with other desalination processes, such as reverse osmosis (RO) or electrodialysis. Recently, several different modifications of MDCs have been developed including stacked MDCs, biocathode MDCs and recirculation MDCs. I read a very interesting paper on this topic- you amy also like to read it : http://www.lenntech.com/abstracts/3046/microbial-desalination-cell-technology-a-review-and-a-case-study.html
