Search for the preventive measures reducing the accumulation of mycotoxin producers in food raw material was carried out. Active ventilation was used; the impact of the electro-chemically activated air (ozone) and electro-chemically activated water (anolyte) on the micromycetes prevailing in grain raw material for food (GRMF) was determined. The GRMF was dried by active ventilation using the oz...

A miniature-microbial fuel cell (mini-MFC, chamber volume: 1.2 mL) was used to monitor biofilm development from a pure culture of Shewanella oneidensis DSP10 on graphite felt (GF) under minimal nutrient conditions. ESEM evidence of biofilm formation on GF is supported by substantial power density (per device cross-section) from the mini-MFC when using an acellular minimal media anolyte (1500 mW...

This work investigates the influence of soil type on electrodialytic remediation (EDR) of lead (Pb). In electrokinetic soil remediation, it is well known that pH is a key factor and that carbonate influences remediation efficiency negatively. This work provides results from laboratory-scale EDR experiments with ten representative industrially Pb-contaminated surface soils. Results indicate that...

An experimental study of the antimicrobial properties Anolyte disinfectant solution on microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was carried out using «Turbidity Standard» method. The high activity against pathogens nosocomial infections in vitro shown.

A Gram-positive exoelectrogen Rhodococcus pyridinivorans sp. strain HR-1 was cultivated from leachate-fed microbial fuel cell (MFC) to study the biodegradation effect of pyridine. In comparison with mixed cultured MFC, presented a remarkable electrical capacity maximum output 4.33 W/m3 under 30 °C in neutral anolyte 1 g/L acetate as substrate. Further, demonstrated environmental resistance stra...

Miniature microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has received growing interest due to its potential applications in high-throughput screening of bacteria and mutants to elucidate mechanisms of electricity generation. This paper reports a novel miniature MFC with an improved output power density and short startup time, utilizing electrospun conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanof...

This work presents a paper-based membraneless microfluidic fuel cell. The device benefits from the laminar flow occurring in a porous material by capillarity to separately react with two parallel streams, anolyte and catholyte, without a separating membrane. Unlike conventional microfluidic fuel cells, the present device does not require external pumps or any other ancillary devices to operate,...

Polymeric filtration membranes could be a cost-effective alternative to cation exchange (CEMs) in electrolysis with contained anolyte and saltwater catholyte because they size selectively hinder salt ion transport between compartments while facilitating proton hydroxide transport. Optimizing membrane performance requires better understanding of properties that impact electrical resistances rete...
