Electrokinetic and Sediment Remediation in Microbial Fuel Cell (RESEARCH NOTE)
Recently developed man-made structures have caused environmental pollutions, and unfortunately, in spite of the deteriorating affairs and repeated warnings by scientists and experts, the degree of contamination is increasing considerably. One of the natural sources undergoing changes is the coasts. It is mainly due to human activities which have led to a change in the quality and quantity of se...
متن کاملAssessment of Sediment Remediation Potential using Microbial Fuel Cell Technology
Bio-electrical responses obtained from freshwater sediments by employing microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology were investigated in this experimental study. During the electricity generation, organic matter in the sediment was microbially oxidized under anaerobic conditions with an electrode serving as a terminal electron acceptor. It was found that the sediment organic matter (SOM) associated w...
متن کاملAnode materials for sediment microbial fuel cells.
INTRODUCTION Plant microbial fuel cells (P-MFCs), and more general sediment microbial fuel cells, make use of electricigenic metabolism of microorganisms in anoxic soils and sediments. Electricigenic microorganisms are able to respire organic carbon from the soil or sediment with an electrode as final electron acceptor [1]. In this work, the focus is on the anode buried in the sediment, the ele...
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...
متن کاملRemoval and Changes of Sediment Organic Matter and Electricity Generation by Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells and Amorphous Ferric Hydroxide
Sediments play an important role in determining the quality of lakes, rivers and oceans as they can act as either a source or sink for pollutants. Once the input pollution is controlled, sediments as a secondary source of pollution can release the accumulated pollutants to overlying water.1 The organic matter content of sediments can also affect the structure of macroinvertebrate assemblages.2 ...
