Bioelectrochemical systems provide a promising tool for the copper recovery from heap leaching solutions which usually contain low and high iron concentrations. In this study, role of ferrous ion concentrations, external resistance in removal synthetic sulfuric acid by lab-scale Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) was investigated good results were obtained copper.

This work aims at investigating the possibility of a wireless sensor network powered by an energy harvesting technology, such as a microbial fuel cell (MFC). An MFC is a bioreactor that transforms energy stored in chemical bonds of organic compounds into electrical energy. This process takes place through catalytic reactions of microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. An anode chamber togethe...

Multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) allows discrimination between normal and neoplastic plasma cells (NeoPCs) within the bone marrow plasma cell (BMPC) compartment. This study sought to characterize immunophenotypes and quantitate the proportion of NeoPCs in BMPCs to diagnose plasma cell myeoma (PCM) and evaluate the prognostic impact of this method. We analyzed the MFC data of the bone marrow...

Exoelectrogenic bacteria have potential for many different biotechnology applications due to their ability to transfer electrons outside the cell to insoluble electron acceptors, such as metal oxides or the anodes of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Very few exoelectrogens have been directly isolated from MFCs, and all of these organisms have been obtained by techniques that potentially restrict th...

Power output limitation is one of the main challenges that needs to be addressed for full-scale applications of the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology. Previous studies have examined electrochemical performance of different cathode electrodes including the development of novel iron based electrocatalysts, however the long-term investigation into continuously operating systems is rare. This wo...

In this study, the simultaneous enzymatic decolorization of reactive blue 221 (RB221) and performance different electrode carbon nanotube (CNT)-modified/unmodified graphite cathodes were investigated in a dual-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) at permanent temperature 25 °C. The maximum power density voltage increased by approximately 13.6% 50%, respectively, when using CNT-modified as cathode....

The current study aimed to develop an anaerobic wastewater treatment and reuse module enabled by thermophilic bioprocessing, a microbial fuel cell (MFC) ultrafiltration (UF) treatment. A previously unexplored consortium based on Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum Arcobacter sp. was used remove ~73% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from under conditions (CODi = 200 mg/L). subsequent MFC ...

We introduce a sensor molecule, AS140-MFC, consisting of a covalent adduct of an Ala-to-Cys mutant of alpha-synuclein with the 3-hydroxychromone dual emission dye MFC. We show that the AS140-MFC construct is a multiparametric fluorescent probe suitable for the continuous monitoring of protein aggregation and is sensitive to the early and intermediate stages of alpha-synuclein aggregation, a pro...

BACKGROUND Resorbable bone hemostasis materials, oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and microfibrillar collagen (MFC), remain at the site of application for up to 8 weeks and may impair osteogenesis. Our experimental study compared the effect of a water-soluble alkylene oxide copolymer (AOC) to ORC and MFC versus no hemostatic material on early bone healing. METHODS Two circular 2.7 mm non-...

Dewatered sludge is redundantly found in a municipal wastewater treatment plant, and the amount increasing every year. However, dewatered could be used to power membrane-less microbial fuel cell (ML-MFC), which operated electrochemically via incorporation of electricity producing micro-organisms. The normally acts as an electron donating substrate. Results showed that ML-MFC produced voltage at...
