好氧生物阴极型微生物燃料电池的同时硝化和产电的研究

在两室型微生物燃料电池的阴极室接种硝化菌实现了同时硝化和产电.硝化过程和产电过程在同一区域实现,不仅能够充分利用曝气的溶解氧,节省曝气能源消耗,而且硝化过程产生的额外的质子,有效地避免了产电过程所造成的阴极pH值升高.运行稳定期间MFC的最大电流和最大功率密度分别为47mA和45.50W/m3,当进水氨氮浓度为153.4mg/L时,硝化速率为5.98mg/(L·d).硝化菌会与产电菌竞争溶解氧,但当溶解氧浓度控制在3.5～5.0mg/L时,硝化过程未对产电产生明显影响.无缓冲溶液的条件下,加入氨氮时的阴极电势比未加入氨氮时的阴极电势高124mV,且阴极电势变化的阶段与氨氮降解的过程是一一对应的.H+离子的理论计算表明,硝化过程产生的H+离子(8.14×10-3mol)与产电过程消耗H+离子(8.54×10-3mol)数量相当,证实了硝化作用中产生的H+离子能够补偿阴极室由于产电造成的H+离子的消耗,维持系统pH值的稳定.

基于微生物燃料电池技术的多元生物质生物产电研究进展

微生物燃料电池(microbial fuel cell,MFC)是一种使用微生物作为催化剂,直接将生物质能转化为电能的装置,为生物质的利用提供了新的途径.底物类型和底物浓度对于MFC的性能至关重要.使用小分子酸、醇或葡萄糖等简单有机物为底物时,MFC功率输出较高.但当底物为结构复杂的有机物时,为了提高MFC功率输出和底物降解效率,可以采用物理、化学手段对其进行预处理、采用天然菌群进行生物预降解或者添加简单有机物进行底物强化.基于多元生物质MFC技术未来将应用于污水中生物质能回收、偏远地区供电和生物传感器等方面.     

微生物燃料电池利用甘薯燃料乙醇废水产电的研究

利用空气阴极微生物燃料电池(MFC)处理甘薯燃料乙醇废水,以COD为5000mg/L的废水做底物,获得的最大电功率密度为334.1mW/m2,库仑效率(CE)为10.1%,COD去除率为92.2%.实验进一步考察了磷酸缓冲液(PBS)浓度和废水浓度对MFC产电性能的影响.PBS含量从50mmol/L增加到200mmol/L,MFC输出的最大电功率密度提高了33.4%,CE增加26.0%,但PBS对废水的COD去除率影响不大.含50mmol/LPBS的废水COD从625mg/L增加到10000mg/L,COD去除率和MFC输出的最大电功率密度在废水浓度为5000mg/L处均获得最大值,但CE值有降低的趋势,从28.9%变化至10.3%.这些结果表明,MFC可以在处理甘薯燃料乙醇废水的同时获得电能;增大PBS浓度能提高MFC的产电性能;MFC输出的最大电功率密度随废水COD增加而增大,但废水浓度过高会引起酸化使MFC产电性能下降.     

Thermal and Electrical Analysis in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack Using a Curved Profile for the Inlet Flow Rate Along the Stacking Direction

This study analyzes the cell temperature and current density fields of a solid oxide fuel cell stack, in which the inlet flow rate along the stacking direction of the fuel is either a curved profile derived through hydraulics or a progressively decreasing profile. The results show that the temperature field was neglibibly affected by the non-uniform inlet profile of the fuel, but the current density distribution was apparently affected. The difference in current density distribution between the curved profile and the progressively decreasing profile was small in the case of an solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with 10 stacks, but became larger in an SOFC with 20 stacks. In the 10-stack SOFC, the difference of current density between the uniform inlet flow and the curved inlet flow was less than 3%, whereas the deviation in the curved profile was less than 12%. However, in a 20-stack SOFC, the difference of current density was over 20%, whereas the deviation in the curved profile was more than 50%. Comparing the results between the curved and the progressively decreasing inlet profile indicates that the current density difference was over 20% in the 20-stack SOFC, but below 1% in the 10-stack SOFC. Therefore, a progressively decreasing inlet profile can replace a curved profile for analyzing an SOFC stack when the number of stacks is less than 10.     

Treatment of Sulfate/Sulfide-Containing Wastewaters Using a Microbial Fuel Cell: Single and Two-Anode Systems

The microbial fuel cell (MFC) was employed to convert reductive potential in sulfate-laden wastewaters to electricity via reducing sulfate to sulfide by sulfate-reducing bacteria and then oxidizing sulfide to sulfur by exoelectrogens. The excess sulfide presented in the anodic solution inhibited the activities of functional strains in MFC. This study proposed the use of a two-anode system, with a sulfate-reducing bacteria anode and an exoelectrogen (C27) anode in the anodic cell, to efficiently convert reductive potential of sulfate into electricity. The microbial community of sulfate-reducing bacteria anode and the electrochemical characteristics of the studied MFCs were reported.
