A novel single cathode chamber and multiple anode chamber microbial fuel cell design (MAC-MFC) was developed by incorporating multiple anode chambers into a single unit and its performance was checked. During 60 days of operation, performance of MAC-MFC was assessed and compared with standard single anode/cathode chamber microbial fuel cell (SC-MFC). The tests showed that MAC-MFC generated stable and higher power outputs compared with SC-MFC and each anode chamber contributed efficiently. Further, MAC-MFCs were incorporated with different wastewaters in different anode chambers and their behavior in MFC performance was observed. MAC-MFC efficiently treated multiple wastewaters simultaneously at low cost and small space, which claims its candidature for future possible scale-up applications.
一种新型的单阴极室和多阳极室微生物燃料电池设计(MAC-MFC)被开发出来,即将多个阳极室整合到一个单元中,并对其性能进行了检查。在 60 天的运行过程中,评估了 MAC-MFC 的性能,并与标准的单阳极/阴极室微生物燃料电池(SC-MFC)进行了比较。测试表明,与 SC-MFC 相比,MAC-MFC 产生了更稳定和更高的功率输出,并且每个阳极室都能有效地发挥作用。此外,MAC-MFC 被分别在不同的阳极室中与不同的废水结合使用,并观察它们在 MFC 性能中的表现。MAC-MFC 以低成本和小空间高效地同时处理多种废水,这使其有望在未来进行大规模应用。
