Copper anode corrosion affects power generation in microbial fuel cells
Non-corrosive, carbon-based materials are usually used as anodes in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In some cases, however, metals have been used that can corrode (e.g. copper) or that are corrosion resistant (e.g. stainless steel, SS). Corrosion could increase current through galvanic (abiotic) current production or by increasing exposed surface area, or decrease current due to generation of toxi...
متن کاملPower generation by packed-bed air-cathode microbial fuel cells.
Catalysts and catalyst binders are significant portions of the cost of microbial fuel cell (MFC) cathodes. Many materials have been tested as aqueous cathodes, but air-cathodes are needed to avoid energy demands for water aeration. Packed-bed air-cathodes were constructed without expensive binders or diffusion layers using four inexpensive carbon-based materials. Cathodes made from activated ca...

متن کاملElectricity generation from rice bran in microbial fuel cells
BACKGROUND Rice bran is a by-product of the rice milling process and mostly discarded in Japan. Although many studies have shown that microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are able to generate electricity from organic wastes, limited studies have examined MFCs for generating electricity from rice bran. FINDINGS Laboratory-scale single-chamber MFCs were inoculated with paddy field soil and supplied with...
متن کاملMineralization of pentachlorophenol with enhanced degradation and power generation from air cathode microbial fuel cells.
The combined anaerobic-aerobic conditions in air-cathode single-chamber MFCs were used to completely mineralize pentachlorophenol (PCP; 5 mg/L), in the presence of acetate or glucose. Degradation rates of 0.140 ± 0.011 mg/L-h (acetate) and 0.117 ± 0.009 mg/L-h (glucose) were obtained with maximum power densities of 7.7 ± 1.1 W/m(3) (264 ± 39 W/m(2), acetate) and 5.1 ± 0.1 W/m(3) (175 ± 5 W/m(2)...
