Abstract

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are emerging as promising technology for the treatment of wastewaters. The potential energy conversion efficiencies are examined. The rates of energy recovery (W/m3 reactor) are reviewed and evaluated. Some recent data relating to potato-processing wastewaters and a hospital wastewater effluent are reported. Finally, a set of process configurations in which MFCs could be useful to treat wastewaters is schematized. Overall, the MFC technology still faces major challenges, particularly in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency.

摘要

微生物燃料电池（MFCs）正成为一种有前景的废水处理技术。研究了其潜在的能量转换效率，回顾并评估了能量回收速率（瓦/立方米反应器）。报告了一些与马铃薯加工废水和医院废水排放相关的最新数据。最后，概述了一组微生物燃料电池可用于处理废水的工艺配置。总体而言，微生物燃料电池技术仍面临重大挑战，特别是在化学需氧量（COD）去除效率方面。
