A Reduced Model for Microbial Electrolysis Cells
International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2020 Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are breakthrough technology of cheap hydrogen production with high efficiency. In this paper differential-algebraic equation (DAE) model of a MEC with an algebraic constraint on current was studied, simulated and validated by implementing the model on continuous-flow MECs. Then sensitivity analysis for the system was

Multi-Population Model of a Microbial Electrolysis Cell
Environmental Science & Technology, 2011 This work presents a multi-population dynamic model of a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). The model describes the growth and metabolic activity of fermentative, electricigenic, methanogenic acetoclastic, and methanogenic hydrogenophilic microorganisms and is capable of simulating hydrogen production in a MEC fed with complex organic matter, such as ...

The microbiology of microbial electrolysis cells
Microbiology Australia, 2014 Electromicrobiology is a new discipline that investigates the ability of microbial species to interact with insoluble external electron acceptors and donors. This ability has most commonly been studied through microbial communities found in association with electrodes as part of a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). MECs are devices that employ bacteria

Analysis of the microbial community of the biocathode of a hydrogen-producing microbial electrolysis cell [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011 The microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is a promising system for hydrogen production. Still, expensive catalysts such as platinum are needed for efficient hydrogen evolution at the cathode. Recently, the possibility to use a biocathode as an alternative for platinum was shown. The microorganisms involved in hydrogen evolution in such systems are not yet

Microbial bioanodes with high salinity tolerance for microbial fuel cells and microbial electrolysis cells [PDF]
Electrochemistry Communications, 2013 Increasing the conductivity of the electrolytes used in microbial electrochemical systems is an essential prerequisite to the large-scale success of these technologies. Microbial bioanodes formed from a salt marsh inoculum under constant acetate feeding generated up to 85 A*m-² in media containing 776 mM NaCl (45 g*L-¹, 1.5 times the salinity of ...

Degradation of 2-mercaptobenzothizaole in microbial electrolysis cells: Intermediates, toxicity, and microbial communities [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 The compound 2-mercaptobenzothizaole (MBT) has been frequently detected in wastewater and surface water and is a potential threat to both aquatic organisms and human health (its mutagenic potential has been demonstrated). This study investigated the degradation routes of MBT in the anode of a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) and the involved microbial
