Abstract

Effect of Fe2+, Mn2+ Catalyst on the Performance of Bio-Electro-Fenton Microbial Fuel Cells

Highlights

  • The Bio-electro-Fenton microbial fuel cell (BeF-MFC) system is the new energy efficient environmental technology being extensively studied. This is because organic matter being degraded in an anode cathode chamber will simultaneously produce electricity and reduce the processing expenses of waste treatment

  • In the study of Bio-electro-Fenton microbial fuel cells [1,2,3,4,5,6], many studies have demonstrated that Fenton reactions will have a significant influence in the degradation of organic pollutants [7,8,9,10,11,12], and have higher reaction efficiencies [13,14,15,16]

  • In their study carbon felt was used for the anode and cathode electrodes and sludge from sewage treatment plants was embedded in the anode chamber, with glucose being used as organic matter (1-1) [7]

Summary

Introduction

In the study of Bio-electro-Fenton microbial fuel cells [1,2,3,4,5,6], many studies have demonstrated that Fenton reactions will have a significant influence in the degradation of organic pollutants [7,8,9,10,11,12], and have higher reaction efficiencies [13,14,15,16]. In this study MFCs did not use precious metals [17,18] and two chamber MFCs were used as a method to degrade pollutants using electro-Fenton reactions (Table 1). Concerning the effect of catalysts applied in BeF systems on strengthening the performance, in this study two kinds of catalysts, Fe2+ and Mn2+, were used in the Bio-electro-Fenton system to ascertain their performance on the degradation of dairy wastewater. This can generate electricity [21] in the anode and oily wastewater, which will pollute the water resource in the cathode part, respectively
