Microbial community optimization for electricity generation in Microbial Fuel Cells
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a type of fuel cells that use bacteria as biocatalyst to oxidize an organic substrate to release electrons, which can be harvested in an external circuit to produce electric energy. This technology hold the potential to help overcome energetic problems and at the same time treat waste water more efficiently than the current employed techniques. Despite all this p...
متن کاملEnhancement of Electricity Production by Graphene Oxide in Soil Microbial Fuel Cells and Plant Microbial Fuel Cells
The effects of graphene oxide (GO) on electricity generation in soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) and plant microbial fuel cell (PMFCs) were investigated. GO at concentrations ranging from 0 to 1.9 g⋅kg(-1) was added to soil and reduced for 10 days under anaerobic incubation. All SMFCs (GO-SMFCs) utilizing the soils incubated with GO produced electricity at a greater rate and in higher quantiti...
متن کاملProduction of electricity from proteins using a microbial fuel cell.
Electricity generation was examined from proteins and a protein-rich wastewater using a single chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC). The maximum power densities achieved were 354 +/- 10 mW/m2 using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 269 +/- 14 mW/m2 using peptone (1100 mg/L BSA and 300 mg/L peptone). The recovery of organic matter as electricity, defined as the Coulombic efficiency (CE), was comparabl...
متن کاملElectricity-producing bacterial communities in microbial fuel cells.
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are not yet commercialized but they show great promise as a method of water treatment and as power sources for environmental sensors. The power produced by these systems is currently limited, primarily by high internal (ohmic) resistance. However, improvements in the system architecture will soon result in power generation that is dependent on the capabilities of the...
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...
