处理垃圾渗滤液的Fe/C空气阴极MFC性能研究

用浸渍法制得硝酸铁/活性炭粉催化剂,通过吸附法将催化剂吸附到碳毡上制作Fe/C催化剂碳毡空气阴极电极.通过改变初始活性炭粉投加量和硝酸铁浓度,考察了两者对以垃圾渗滤液为燃料的MFC产电性能影响;通过循环伏安测试,对不同硝酸铁浓度下自制阴极电极性能进行了评价;在最佳催化条件下考察了装置运行稳定性;并对不同进水COD浓度下同步产电和污水净化性能进行了研究.结果表明,随着活性炭粉投加量或硝酸铁浓度的增加,MFC产电性能均呈现先升高后降低的趋势;当活性炭粉投加量为1 g且硝酸铁浓度为0.25 mol.L-1时,电池性能最佳,功率密度为4 199.8 mW.m-3,表观内阻为465Ω;在硝酸铁和活性炭粉最佳比范围内,MFC的内阻和功率密度分别随着催化剂量的增加而减小和增加;循环伏安测试进一步表明,硝酸铁浓度为0.25 mol.L-1时放电容量最大,且性能稳定;在最佳催化条件下,随着进水COD浓度的增加,MFC产电性能增加,功率密度达5 478.92 mW.m-3,同时COD去除量也增加,最大为1 505.2 mg.L-1,垃圾渗滤液的COD去除率最大达89.1%.

Performance of Microbial Fuel Cells with Fe/C Catalyst Carbon Felt Air-Cathode for Treating Landfill Leachate

Ferric nitrate/activated carbon powder catalyst was obtained through impregnation and Fe/C catalyst was adsorbed on carbon felt as air cathode electrodes. Effects of activated carbon powder dosage and ferric nitrate concentration on electricity generation of MFC with landfill leachate as fuel were measured. Performances of cathodes obtained at different ferric nitrate concentrations were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry tests. The results showed that with the increase of activated carbon powder dosage or the iron nitrate concentration, MFC produce electrical properties showed a decreasing trend after the first rise. When the activated carbon powder dosage was 1 g and the iron nitrate concentration was 0.25 mol x L(-1), it was proved to be an optimum cell performance for 4199.8 mW x m(-3) output power and 465 omega apparent resistance. Under the optimal ratio rang between ferric nitrate and activated carbon powder, MFC apparent resistance decreased and the power density increased respectively with the increase of catalyst total dosage. The best produce electrical properties of MFC with Fe/C catalyst for 0.25 mol x L(-1) iron nitrate and 1 g activated carbon powder dosage was observed by cyclic voltammetry tests. The output power of MFC and the removal quantity increased with the concentration of inlet and the maximum values were respectively 5478.92 mW x m(-3) and 1505.2 mg x L(-1). the maximum removal rates of COD achieved at 89.1%.
