Performance on a novel biocathode microbial fuel cell with trickling aeration
Introduction Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a secured technology which can generate electricity through the oxidation of organic matters in wastewater. Compared with the abiotic cathode MFC, biocathode MFC using bacteria as catalyst can satisfy the demands of low cost and high operational sustainability. However, costly mechanical aeration is needed when a typical biocathode was applied. In this study, a new MFC based on trickling aeration at the biocathode was designed. A trickling filter was introduced to the MFC with packing electrode and thereby increased the bacteria amount growth on it. The results proved that the MFC with water-dropping and natural ventilation could keep good performance of electricity production and sewage purification even without mechanical aeration, which achieved system simplified and energy saving.
