Performance of membrane-less microbial fuel cell treating wastewater and effect of electrode distance and area on electricity production.
Performance of mediator-less and membrane-less microbial fuel cell (ML-MFC) was evaluated to treat synthetic wastewater and actual sewage. The ML-MFC gave COD and BOD removal efficiencies of 88% and 87%, respectively, and TKN removal was around 45-50%. Biomass granulation was observed in the anode compartment of ML-MFC. Effect of distance between the electrodes and total surface area of anode o...
متن کاملSubstrate removal and electricity generation in a membrane-less microbial fuel cell for biological treatment of wastewater.
Microbial fuel cells have gained popularity in recent years due to its promise in converting organic wastewater into renewable electrical energy. In this study, a membrane-less MFC with a biocathode was developed to evaluate its performance in electricity generation while simultaneously treating wastewater. The MFC fed with a continuous flow of 2g/day acetate produced a power density of 30 mW/m...
متن کاملLess Microbial Fuel Cell: Application of Pure and Mixed Cultures
Energy shortage and environmental pollution Microorganisms in the anode chamber oxidize fuel have caused global disasters. Thus, active research to (electron donor e.g. glucose, acetate, etc.) to produce find out alternate sources of energy especially renewable electrons and protons. Produced electrons are transferred sources of energy is a new trend [1]. In recent years, to cathode compartment...
متن کاملSustainable Power Generation in Continuous Flow Microbial Fuel Cell Treating Actual Wastewater: Influence of Biocatalyst Type on Electricity Production
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have the potential to simultaneously treat wastewater for reuse and to generate electricity. This study mainly considers the performance of an upflow dual-chambered MFC continuously fueled with actual domestic wastewater and alternatively biocatalyzed with aerobic activated sludge and strain of Bacillus Subtilis. The behavior of MFCs during initial biofilm growth and...
متن کاملElectricity production during wastewater treatment in a mediator-less MFC inoculated with aged anaerobic sludge
In this study, electricity generation integrated with organic substrate biodegradation was investigated in a continuous mediator-less microbial fuel cell with graphite electrodes and a selective type of membrane separating the anodic and cathodic compartments of MFC from each other. The performance of MFC was evaluated to treat actual domestic wastewater using aged anaerobic sludge. Results rev...
