Simultaneous pollutant removal and electricity generation in denitrifying microbial fuel cell with boric acid-borate buffer solution

Simultaneous anaerobic sulfide and nitrate removal coupled with electricity generation in Microbial Fuel Cell.

Two-chamber Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) using graphite rods as electrodes were operated for simultaneous anaerobic sulfide and nitrate removal coupled with electricity generation. The MFC showed good ability to remove substrates. When the influent sulfide and nitrate concentrations were 780 mg/L and 135.49 mg/L, respectively, the removal percentages of sulfide and nitrate were higher than 90% an...

Simultaneous electricity generation and sulfide removal via a dual chamber microbial fuel cell

 Transfer of produced electrons to anode is one of the main parts in MFCs.  Some MFCs needs artificial electron acceptors in their aerobic cathode compartment.  Cyclic voltammetry was used to study of anodic electrochemistry analysis.  Hexacyanoferrate was used as cathodic solution in different concentrations.  Maximum generated voltage and power density were 988.9145 mV, 346.746 mW.m, res...

dairy wastewater treatment and simultaneous electricity generation using microbial fuel cell technology

introduction population growth, increasing consumption of natural energy sources, the increasing use of fossil fuels, especially the oil and gas industry in recent years with the energy imbalance management has led to emergence of global energy crisis. moreover, rapid urbanization and industrialization have substantially increased the amount of high-strength wastewater being produced, which in ...

Treatment of Domestic Wastewater with Simultaneous Electricity Generation in Microbial Fuel Cell under Continuous Operation

In order to apply microbial fuel cell (MFC) process more practically in wastewater treatment, both power generation and removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) were examined in an air-cathode MFC fed with domestic wastewater under continuous operation. At a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 2.0 h, the air-cathode MFC was able to generate electricity from domestic wastewater with a maximum power...
