Tetracycline Antibiotic Removal from Wastewater via Air-Cathode Microbial Fuel Cells
Background and objective: Tetracyclines are the second most used group of antibiotics in the world. This type of antibiotic has a weak attraction in the body and enters wastewater through urine and feces. This study investigated the effectiveness of tetracycline removal from wastewater by air-cathode microbial fuel cells. Materials and methods: The current study was bench-scale experimental re...
متن کاملPre-acclimation of a wastewater inoculum to cellulose in an aqueous-cathode MEC improves power generation in air-cathode MFCs.
Cellulose has been used in two-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs), but power densities were low. Higher power densities can be achieved in air-cathode MFCs using an inoculum from a two-chamber, aqueous-cathode microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). Air-cathode MFCs with this inoculum produced maximum power densities of 1070 mW m(-2) (cathode surface area) in single-chamber and 880 mW m(-2) in two-...
متن کاملProduction of electricity during wastewater treatment using a single chamber microbial fuel cell.
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been used to produce electricity from different compounds, including acetate, lactate, and glucose. We demonstrate here that it is also possible to produce electricity in a MFC from domestic wastewater, while atthe same time accomplishing biological wastewater treatment (removal of chemical oxygen demand; COD). Tests were conducted using a single chamber microbi...
متن کاملElectricity generation from fermented primary sludge using single-chamber air-cathode microbial fuel cells.
Single-chamber air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were used to generate electricity from fermented primary sludge. Fermentation (30 °C, 9 days) decreased total suspended solids (26.1-16.5 g/L), volatile suspended solids (24.1-15.3g/L) and pH (5.7-4.5), and increased conductivity (2.4-4.7 mS/cm), soluble COD (2.66-15.5 g/L), and volatile fatty acids (1.9-10.1g/L). To lower the COD and incre...
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...
