NH 4 ++1.5O 2→NO 2 -+H 2O+2H + (3)
NO 2 -+0.5O 2→NO 3 - (4)
8NO 3 -+C 6H 12O 6→4N 2↑+6CO 2↑+2H 2O+8OH - (5)
As seen, the ammonia of every oxidation 1mol produces the proton of 2mol simultaneously in the reaction (3), and every consumption 8mol nitrate anion produces the hydroxide ion of 8mol in the reaction (5).
Design feature and electrogenesis principle according to above-mentioned MFC, be that ammonia nitrogen and bed mud are rich in organic present situation in conjunction with main contamination index in the eutrophic water bodies such as lake, river course or pond, MFC and traditional water body denitrification technology are organically combined, take eutrophic water body as " cathode chamber ", utilize wherein ammonia nitrogen and dissolved oxygen react (3), for cathodic reduction reaction continues to provide proton, during the nitrate anion that produces under the concentration gradient effect, constantly spread or be adsorbed onto in the bed mud; Take eutrophic water body bed muds such as lakes as " anode chamber ", utilize the nitrate anion that spreads or be adsorbed onto in the bed mud to react (5), constantly the proton of consumable anode bed mud Organic oxidation generation.Obviously, the combination of two kinds of technology can make the electricity generation process of MFC be strengthened.
