Acclimatization of a microbial consortium into a stable biofilm to produce energy and 1,3-propanediol from glycerol in a microbial fuel cell
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-06-08)
Glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, is a potential substrate for producing electricity and value-added products in bioelectrochemical systems. Here, we demonstrate a strategy to establish a highly specific ...
Generation of Bioelectricity Using Molasses as Fuel in Microbial Fuel Cells
(Kaunas University of Technology, 2022-05)
The large amount of molasses that are generated in sugar-processing companies are not always redistributed for commercialization in by-products. Because of this, the present research uses these wastes as fuel in low-cost, ...
Constructed wetland-microbial fuel cells for sustainable greywater treatment
(MDPI AG, 2018)
Greywater reuse through decentralized and low-cost treatment systems emerges as an
opportunity to tackle the existing demand for water. In recent years, constructed wetlands (CW)
systems and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) ...
A biofilm model of microbial fuel cells for engineering applications
(Springer Verlag, 2017-12-23)
A generalized low-order model of the biofilm in a microbial fuel cell (MFC), suitable for use in real-time engineering applications, is presented. It is based on the description of the charge transfer, diffusion process, ...
Electrochemical characterization of graphite-zeolite electrodes for their use as bioanodes in microbial fuel cells
(2017)
A Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) can be defined as a technology that uses microorganisms to convert the
chemical energy present in a substrate to electrical energy. The performance of MFC is heavily influenced
by the electrodes ...
Application of microbial fuel cell technology for vinasse treatment and bioelectricity generation
(2019-01-15)
Objective: Our study evaluated the performance of different two-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC) prototypes, operated with variable distance between electrodes and Nafion membrane and specific inoculum concentration, ...
Adding value to lignocellulosic byproducts by using acetate and p-coumaric acid as substrate in a microbial fuel cell
(2021-11-01)
Acetate and p-coumaric acid, which inhibit fermentation, are important byproducts from the sugarcane biomass pretreatment and hydrolysis steps. At the same time, organic and phenolic acids are valuable substrates to produce ...
