Electricity generation from a floating microbial fuel cell.
A floating microbial fuel cell (FMFC) has been designed and its performance has been evaluated for 153 days. The power output gradually increased to a maximum value of 390 mW/m(3) at 125 days. The polarization resistance of the anode (R(p)(a)) changed with operating time reaching a minimum value at 125 days, while the polarization resistance of the cathode (R(p)(c)) was relatively constant and ...
متن کاملElectricity generation from swine wastewater using microbial fuel cells.
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a new method for treating animal wastewaters and simultaneously producing electricity. Preliminary tests using a two-chambered MFC with an aqueous cathode indicated that electricity could be generated from swine wastewater containing 8320 +/- 190 mg/L of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) (maximum power density of 45 mW/m2). More extensive tests with a s...
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 کاملTetracycline 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 کاملElectricity generation from artificial wastewater using an upflow microbial fuel cell.
The upflow microbial fuel cell (UMFC) was developed to generate electricity while simultaneously treating wastewater. During a five-month period of feeding a sucrose solution as the electron donor, the UMFC continuously generated electricity with a maximum power density of 170 mW/m2. To achieve this power density, the artificial electron-mediator hexacyanoferrate was required in the cathode cha...
