Recovery of Metals from Acid Mine Drainage by Bioelectrochemical System Inoculated with a Novel Exoelectrogen, Pseudomonas sp. E8

Microorganisms, 2019
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a typical source of environmental pollution ascribing to its characteristics of high acidity and heavy metal content. Currently, most strategies for AMD treatment merely focus on metal removal rather than metal recovery ...

Optimizing the electrode size and arrangement in a microbial electrolysis cell

Bioresource Technology, 2011
This study investigates the influence of anode and cathode size and arrangement on hydrogen production in a membrane-less flat-plate microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). Protein measurements were used to evaluate microbial density in the carbon felt anode. The protein concentration was observed to significantly decrease with the increase in distance from

Hydrogen production from acetate in a cathode-on-top single-chamber microbial electrolysis cell with a mipor cathode

, 2010
A cathode-on-top single-chamber microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) was constructed by putting the cathode above the anode. The cathode was made of mipor titanium tube coated with platinum and the anode was graphite granules with exoelectrogens absorbed on

Enhanced methane production in an anaerobic digestion and microbial electrolysis cell coupled system with co-cultivation of Geobacter and Methanosarcina

, 2016
The anaerobic digestion (AD) and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) coupled system has been proved to be a promising process for biomethane production. In this paper, it was found that by co-cultivating Geobacter with Methanosarcina in an AD-MEC coupled ...

Substrate Composition Shapes Methanogenesis, Microbial Ecology, and Digestate Dewaterability in Microbial Electrolysis Cell-Assisted Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste

Methane
The compositional heterogeneity of food waste greatly influences its bioconversion in microbial electrolysis cell (MEC)-assisted anaerobic digestion (AD), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Impact of applied current on sulfate-rich wastewater treatment and microbial biodiversity in the cathode chamber of microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) reactor

, 2017
Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) coupled with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was used to degrade sulfate-rich wastewater which was deficient in electron donors. Results confirmed that SRB could trigger vigorous synergy with an applied current.

Microbial electrolysis kinetics and cell design

, 2010
Large amounts of hydrogen are produced worldwide, which are nearly all from fossil origin. Use of biomass instead of fossil fuels to produce hydrogen can contribute to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the hydrogen has to be produced at
