The electrodes spacing would exert a pronounced effect on bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) performance, especially for the scaling-up of reactors and practical applications. In this study, we traced the effect of electrode spacing on wastewater treatment performances from the aspects of hydrodynamics and electrochemical characteristics. Three series of folded stainless steel mesh (f-SSM) electrodes with electrode spacing of 2, 4 and 8mm were designed for azo dye (acid orange 7 (AO7)) wastewater treatment. Results showed that BES with electrode spacing of 2mm (RS2) obtained the highest efficiencies of AO7 decolorization (90.9±0.4%) and COD removal (36.8±3.8%) at HRT of 8h, which was 30.7% and 15.2% higher than that in BES with electrode spacing of 8mm (RS8), respectively. Moreover, the relationship between pollutants removal, internal resistance and hydrodynamics of BESs with different electrode spacing supported the hydrodynamics was significantly influence the pollutants removal performance.
