Improved Performance of Soil Microbial Fuel Cell by Adding Earthworms
Soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are expected as an application to produce sustainable energy. Here, we focused on soil ecosystems, specifically the earthworms which are known to improve soil-fertility by degrading fallen leaves or plant litter. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of earthworm on power generation of the SMFC. The maximum power density and the internal res...
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 کاملPerformance Analyses of Microbial Fuel Cells Operated in Series
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are capable of producing electricity while cleaning wastewater. This novel technology can replace energy-consuming aerobic treatment even if low effluent concentrations are demanded. The goal of this work is to optimize a MFC-based wastewater treatment process. A MFC mathematical model, which accounts for co-existence of methanogenic and anodophilic microbial populat...
متن کاملFlow dependent performance of microfluidic microbial fuel cells.
The integration of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) in a microfluidic geometry can significantly enhance the power density of these cells, which would have more active bacteria per unit volume. Moreover, microfluidic MFCs can be operated in a continuous mode as opposed to the traditional batch-fed mode. Here we investigate the effect of fluid flow on the performance of microfluidic MFCs. The growth ...
متن کاملPerformance of freshwater sediment microbial fuel cells: Consistency
This study experimentally examined the performance consistency of sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) with the same geometry and the same startup protocol. The cells revealed very different characteristics after startup. Doubling the anodic surface area did not enhance the cell performance. Stirring the sediment and aerating the upper water increased voltage output, and the chemical environme...
