Study on the Effect of Water Flux in Osmotic Microbial Fuel Cells on Membrane Water Content and Resistance

Osmotic microbial fuel cells (OsMFCs) can integrate forward osmosis into (MFCs), which are able to perform organic elimination, bioenergy production, and high-class water abstraction from wastewater. However, it is not well understood how the unique feature of OsMFCs, i.e., flux, helps improve current generation. Based on experimental studies Springer model theory, a new method for representing transmission in OsMFC membranes put that considers by electro-osmosis resulting proton flux through membrane osmotic pressure grades water. In this research, associated with permeable differential ionic concentration membrane, electro-osmotic found be proportional density employed but irrelevant composition gradients. The net depends operation time increases accordingly higher Furthermore, membrane’s conductibility water-transmission capabilities significantly affected moisture content, decreases negative electrode positive system. Increasing therefore diminish resistance membrane.
