Abstract
The coal chemical wastewater (CCW) was treated by anaerobic fluidized bed microbial fuel cell (AFB-MFC) with macroporous adsorptive resin (MAR) as fluidized particle. Isosteric heat calculation and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) have been performed to study the interaction between organics of CCW and MAR. The isosteric heat of MAR to m-cresol was the largest at 65.4961kJ/mol, followed by phenol. Similarly, the diffusion coefficient of m-cresol on MAR was the largest, which was 0.04350 Å2/ps, and the results were verified by the kinetic adsorption experiments. Microbial community analysis showed that the dominant bacteria in activated sludge of MFC fed with CCW were acinetobacter, aeromonas, pseudomonas and sulfurospirillum. The synergistic cooperation of bacteria contributed to improving CCW degradation and the power generation of MFC. Headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) was used to detect intermediate of organics in CCW. It was proved that the intermediate of m-cresol degradation was 4-methyl-2-pentanone and acetic acid, and the intermediate of phenol degradation included cyclohexanone, hydroxyhexanedither and hydroxyacetic acid. Combined with the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) analysis results of organic matter obtained by molecular simulation, the degradation pathway of organic matter in CCW was predicted. The energy of organics degradation pathway was analyzed by Materials Studio (MS) software, and the control step of organics degradation was determined.
