外电阻对双阴极微生物燃料电池脱氮产电性能的影响

为提高双阴极MFC的脱氮产电性能,构建了双阴极微生物燃料电池系统,考察了连续进水状态下阳极与缺氧阴极间外阻(R_(A-A))以及阳极与好氧阴极间外阻(R_(A-O))的变化对系统脱氮产电性能的影响。结果表明:只增大一侧电阻会降低厌氧阳极的库仑效率和功率密度,但能提高系统的脱氮效果;当R_(A-O)由200Ω增大到1 000Ω时,TN去除率由43.81%提高到60.71%,当R_(A-A)由200Ω增大到1 000Ω时,TN去除率由38.88%提高到61.52%;当总外阻固定在1 000Ω时,两侧电阻变化不影响阳极的功率密度和库仑效率,其分别保持在305.53 mW·m~(-3)和0.35%左右;电阻组合(R_(A-A)/R_(A-O))由500Ω/500Ω变化为100Ω/900Ω,TN去除率由62.32%提高到64.41%;系统的硝化效果随R_(A-O)的增大而增强,反硝化效果随R_(A-A)的减小而增强,总氮去除效果随总外阻的增大而提升。低R_(A-A)与高R_(A-O)的外阻组合能有效提高双阴极三室MFC的脱氮能力。增大总外阻,系统产电性能降低,阳极表面微生物膜氧化性不断减弱,总外阻不变,阳极表面氧化性变化不大。研究探明了外电阻变化对三室双阴极MFC脱氮产电性能的影响,为进一步提高MFC脱氮产电性能提供参考。

Increasing the recovery of heavy metal ions using two microbial fuel cells operating in parallel with no power output

The present study aimed to improve the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) by using an intermittent connection period without power output. Connecting two MFCs in parallel improved the voltage output of both MFCs until the voltage stabilized. Electric energy was accumulated in two MFCs containing heavy metal ions copper, zinc, and cadmium as electron acceptors by connection in parallel for several hours. The system was then switched to discharge mode with single MFCs with a 1000-Ω resistor connected between anode and cathode. This method successfully achieved highly efficient removal of heavy metal ions. Even when the anolyte was run in sequencing batch mode, the insufficient voltage and power needed to recover heavy metals from the cathode of MFCs can be complemented by the developed method. The average removal ratio of heavy metal ions in sequencing batch mode was 67 % after 10 h. When the discharge time was 20 h, the removal ratios of zinc, copper, and cadmium were 91.5, 86.7, and 83.57 %, respectively; the average removal ratio of these ions after 20 h was only 52.1 % for the control group. Therefore, the average removal efficiency of heavy metal ions increased by 1.75 times using the electrons stored from the bacteria under the open-circuit conditions in parallel mode. Electrochemical impedance data showed that the anode had lower solution resistance and polarization resistance in the parallel stage than as a single MFC, and capacitance increased with the length of time in parallel.

Simultaneous bioelectricity generation and decolorization of methyl orange in a two-chambered microbial fuel cell and bacterial diversity

The objectives of this study were to investigate the simultaneous bioelectricity generation and decolorization of methyl orange (MO) in the anode chamber of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in a wide concentration range (from 50 to 800 mg L^?1) and to reveal the microbial communities on the anode after the MFC was operated continuously for more than 6 months using MO-glucose mixtures as fuel. Interestingly, the added MO played an active role in the production of electricity. The maximum voltage outputs were 565, 658, 640, 629, 617, and 605 mV for the 1 g L^?1 glucose with 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, and 500 mg L^?1 of MO, respectively. The results of three groups of comparison experiments showed that accelerated decolorization of methyl orange (MO) was achieved in the MFC as compared to MFC in open circuit mode and MFC without extra carbon sources. The decolorization efficiency decreased with an increase of MO concentration in the studied concentration range for the dye load increased. A 454 high-throughput pyrosequencing revealed the microbial communities. Geobacter genus known to generate electricity was detected. Bacteroidia class, Desulfovibrio, and Trichococcus genus, which were most likely responsible for degrading methyl orange, were also detected.     

Urea removal coupled with enhanced electricity generation in single-chambered microbial fuel cells

High concentration of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) in the form of urea is known to inhibit the performance of many biological wastewater treatment processes. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have great potential for TAN removal due to its unique oxic/anoxic environment. In this study, we demonstrated that increased urea (TAN) concentration up to 3940 mg/L did not inhibit power output of single-chambered MFCs, but enhanced power generation by 67% and improved coulombic efficiency by 78% compared to those obtained at 80 mg/L of TAN. Over 80% of nitrogen removal was achieved at TAN concentration of 2630 mg/L. The increased nitrogen removal coupled with significantly enhanced coulombic efficiency, which was observed for the first time, indicates the possibility of a new electricity generation mechanism in MFCs: direct oxidation of ammonia for power generation. This study also demonstrates the great potential of using one MFC reactor to achieve simultaneous electricity generation and urea removal from wastewater.

Photocatalytic degradation of phenol using Ag core-TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> shell (Ag@TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>) nanoparticles under UV light irradiation

Ag@TiO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized by one pot synthesis method with postcalcination. These nanoparticles were tested for their photocatalytic efficacies in degradation of phenol both in free and immobilized forms under UV light irradiation through batch experiments. Ag@TiO₂ nanoparticles were found to be the effective photocatalysts for degradation of phenol. The effects of factors such as pH, initial phenol concentration, and catalyst loading on phenol degradation were evaluated, and these factors were found to influence the process efficiency. The optimum values of these factors were determined to maximize the phenol degradation. The efficacy of the nanoparticles immobilized on cellulose acetate film was inferior to that of free nanoparticles in UV photocatalysis due to light penetration problem and diffusional limitations. The performance of fluidized bed photocatalytic reactor operated under batch with recycle mode was evaluated for UV photocatalysis with immobilized Ag@TiO₂ nanoparticles. In the fluidized bed reactor, the percentage degradation of phenol was found to increase with the increase in catalyst loading.
