Bioenergy generation and simultaneous nitrate and phosphorus removal in a pyrite-based constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell.

Bioresource Technology, 2019
This study investigates the performance of a pyrite-based constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (PCW-MFC) in chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrate (NO3--N), total inorganic nitrogen (TIN), and total phosphorus (TP) removal and bioelectricity generation,

In Situ Fuel Processing in a Microbial Fuel Cell

ChemSusChem, 2012
AbstractA microbial fuel cell (MFC) was designed in which fuel is generated in the cell by the enzyme glucoamylase, which is displayed on the surface of yeast. The enzyme digests starch specifically into monomeric glucose units and as a consequence enables further glucose oxidation by microorganisms present in the MFC anode.

Microbial Fuel Cells:  Methodology and Technology

Environmental Science & Technology, 2006
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) research is a rapidly evolving field that lacks established terminology and methods for the analysis of system performance. This makes it difficult for researchers to compare devices on an equivalent basis. The construction and analysis of MFCs requires knowledge of different scientific and engineering fields, ranging from ...

Microbial fuel cell hybrid systems for wastewater treatment and bioenergy production: Synergistic effects, mechanisms and challenges

Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2019
The microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology relies on electroactive bacteria to degrade organic molecules for bioelectricity production. MFC is a potentially useful approach for wastewater treatment with concomitant energy production. The main advantages of

Microbial Fuel Cells for Sulfide Removal

Environmental Science & Technology, 2006
Thus far, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been used to convert carbon-based substrates to electricity. However, sulfur compounds are ubiquitously present in organic waste and wastewater. In this study, a MFC with a hexacyanoferrate cathodic electrolyte was used to convert dissolved sulfide to elemental sulfur.

Photosynthetic Microbial Fuel Cells

2016
This chapter presents the current state of research on bioelectrochemical systems that include phototrophic organisms. First, we describe what is known of how phototrophs transfer electrons from internal metabolism to external substrates. This includes efforts to understand both the source of electrons and transfer pathways within cells.
