Electricity and disinfectant production from wastewater: Microbial Fuel Cell as a self-powered electrolyser
This study presents a simple and sustainable Microbial Fuel Cell as a standalone, self-powered reactor for in situ wastewater electrolysis, recovering nitrogen from wastewater. A process is proposed whereby the MFC electrical performance drives the electrolysis of wastewater towards the self-generation of catholyte within the same reactor. The MFCs were designed to harvest the generated catholy...
متن کاملEco-Friendly Wastewater Treatment Solution Using Self-Powered Microbial Fuel Cell
Efficient monitoring and control of Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) has turned into an important public issue as the cost of electricity continues to grow and the quality requirement of processed water tightens. A Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical system that drives a current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. Self-powered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) ar...
متن کاملMicrobial fuel cells for wastewater treatment.
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are emerging as promising technology for the treatment of wastewaters. The potential energy conversion efficiencies are examined. The rates of energy recovery (W/m3 reactor) are reviewed and evaluated. Some recent data relating to potato-processing wastewaters and a hospital wastewater effluent are reported. Finally, a set of process configurations in which MFCs coul...
متن کاملApplication of dual chamber microbial fuel cell with aeration cathode for bioelectricity generation and simultaneous industrial wastewater treatment
Background and Objective: Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a new green technology that uses the catabolic ability of microorganisms to produce bioenergy while simultaneously removing organic matter and other wastewater contaminants. Electrode material is one of the factors affecting the performance of microbial fuel cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of microbial fuel c...
متن کاملElectrocoagulation as a Wastewater Treatment
Coagulation and flocculation are traditional methods for the treatment of polluted water. Electrocoagulation presents a robust novel and innovative alternative in which a sacrificial metal anode doses water electrochemically. This has the major advantage of providing active cations required for coagulation, without increasing the salinity of the water. Electrocoagulation is a complex process wi...
