Microbial fuel cell running on high strength animal wastewater : nitrogen removal strategies and microbial community characterization

Ana Sotres Fernández

Abstract: A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioelectrochemical system (BES) capable of converting the chemical energy contained in the chemical bonds of a substrate into electrical energy by means of electrochemical reactions catalyzed by microorganisms. The amount of energy to be gained by bacteria capable of transferring electrons to an anode is significantly higher compared to other alternative electron acceptors. Exoelectrogenic microbial populations tend to be selectively enriched on the anode electrode, being essen… Show more

“…A rapid degradation of SMX (200 ppm concentration) during 72 hours was shown. ( 62) Furthermore, due to the long-lasting biofilm, an adaption to certain substances in wastewater is also possible, to increase the decomposition effect (63). It is also conceivable that MFCs are able to treat other trace substances by specific adaption, like hormones.…”
