چکیده
In this study, the dilution of anolyte and catholyte as a pH control measure in newly developed microbial desalination cell (MDC) was explored. Also, effects on MDC’s electricity generation, wastewater treatment efficiencies were assessed against three-chamber MDC which used potassium phosphate buffer for control. On average, exhibited lower capacity (pH change 1.73 ± 0.06) compared to relatively higher 1.49 0.07) MDC. However, produced efficiency 50.01% 46.66% by power density 0.62 0.13 W/m3 than 0.35 0.70 It’s COD reduction (63.21%) also 42.81%

Simultaneous water desalination and electricity generation in a microbial desalination cell with electrolyte recirculation for pH control.
A recirculation microbial desalination cell (rMDC) was designed and operated to allow recirculation of solutions between the anode and cathode chambers. This recirculation avoided pH imbalances that could inhibit bacterial metabolism. The maximum power density was 931±29mW/m(2) with a 50mM phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and 776±30mW/m(2) with 25mM PBS. These power densities were higher than th...
متن کاملUsing bacterial catalyst in the cathode of microbial desalination cell to improve wastewater treatment and desalination.
A microbial desalination cell (MDC) is able to desalinate salt water without energy consumption whilst generating bioenergy. Previously MDCs used abiotic cathodes, which are restricted in application by high operating costs and low levels of sustainability whereas, in the present study, an aerobic biocathode consisting of carbon felt and bacterial catalysts was tested. The biocathode MDC produc...
متن کاملMathematical model of dynamic behavior of microbial desalination cells for simultaneous wastewater treatment and water desalination.
Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) are an emerging concept for simultaneous wastewater treatment and water desalination. This work presents a mathematical model to simulate dynamic behavior of MDCs for the first time through evaluating multiple factors such as organic supply, salt loading, and current generation. Ordinary differential equations were applied to describe the substrate as well as...
