Description

A kind of method of fixation in situ anode of microbial fuel cell microorganism
Technical field
The invention belongs to microbiological fuel cell field, be on the Research foundation of existing microbiological fuel cell, it is determined that a kind of make simple, biology is harmless, the stable and cheap original position microorganism immobilization method being applicable to microbiological fuel cell.
Background technology
The energy is the material base and the valuable source that maintain the lasting harmonious development of human survival and society. According to statistics, the energy is utilized 86% to come from fossil fuel resource by the world today, such as oil and coal etc. The population size quickly increased brings huge pressure to the goods and materials such as our environment and energy, threatens the sustainable development of human civilization. At present, chemical fuel resource is faced with aggregate reserve wretched insufficiency, and exploitation link is complicated, and utilization ratio is not high, non-renewable and produce the serious problems such as Environmental waste such as a large amount of dusty gas and residue after burning. Obviously, the progress of the mankind, the development of society and the rapid development of economy accelerate the consumption of the fossil resources such as oil coal, and Fossil fuel supports the development of World Economics by being difficult to and population at a high speed increases. International Energy Agency predicts, will increase by more than 50% to the year two thousand thirty global energy actual demand, and petroleum resources expectation will be exhausted at following about 100 years. Therefore, people more will pay close attention to be placed on how to reduce CO2Discharge and improve efficiency of energy utilization research on, renewable and " neutral carbon " of new forms of energy has become everybody common recognition.
For solving the nervous problem with energy greenization of fossil energy, the research of the new forms of energy substituting traditional fossil energy is just extensively carried out. In recent years, the research of solar energy system, air windmill and fuel cell also achieves the achievement attracted people's attention. Research shows, biomass energy is the very potential Renewable resource of one, is also important derived energy chemical raw material sources. Up to the present; biomass energy has become global the fourth-largest resource; after being only second to coal, oil and natural gas; account for the 14% of whole world total energy consumption; but along with progressively manifesting of crisis in food; biomass energy based on grain has occurred in that strives the problem of grain with people, and this has also promoted the exploration that biomass energy is newly originated by people.
Microbe-derived abundant in environment, be also many important nutrient, antibiotic, immunosuppressant etc. once or the important sources of secondary metabolites. It is known that microorganism can produce the fuel such as ethanol, methane, hydrogen from Organic substance, in addition, Organic substance can also be changed into electric energy by microorganism.Therefore, microbiological fuel cell provides the probability reclaiming electric energy and renewable biomass from debirs, by extensive concern. As a solution of continuity of environment row development, microbiological fuel cell can produce electric energy while removing pollutant, when the current energy is day by day in short supply, has important Research Significance.
The theoretical production capacity of microbiological fuel cell is higher, according to Nernst equation, when with acetic acid for electron donor, when oxygen is electron acceptor, the theoretical electromotive force respectively-0.3V (vsNHE) of anode of microbial fuel cell and negative electrode and 0.8V (vsNHE), it is 1.1V that theory between two electrodes thus calculated produces voltage, but, owing to the loss on electrode potential is (such as activation polarization, concentration polarization and ohmic loss), the open-circuit voltage of the microbiological fuel cell that current institute observes is significantly less than perfect condition, the influence factor of the difference on electromotive force also includes electron donor, electron acceptor and inoculum etc. it addition, electrode material, concentration of substrate, ionic strength, temperature, pH value and reactor structure etc. are all likely to affect the electricity generation performance of MFC.
Microbiological fuel cell technology has bigger potential using value, and the research about microbiological fuel cell also achieves a series of progress, but, microbiological fuel cell there is also some shortcomings part in the treatment of waste water, specifically including that (1) output is relatively low, the general output of microbiological fuel cell is less than 2W/m2, with conventional fuel cell 1W/cm2Output compare and still have bigger gap, when processing actual waste water with microbiological fuel cell, output is then lower, is generally less than 0.1W/m2; (2) there is no the battery configuration of applicable microbiological fuel cell extension, double-chamber microbiological fuel cell needs PEM and various cathode electronics receptor, expensive, the cost of manufacture making battery is higher, and single chamber air cathode microbial fuel cell negative electrode makes complicated and expensive catalyst, also it is unfavorable for the extension of microbiological fuel cell; (3) microbial activities of anode and the output voltage of generation are bigger by the impact of environment and operating condition, current microbiological fuel cell is generally at 30 DEG C, run when pH neutrality and organic concentration relatively low (1gCOD/L), the substrate (Organic substance, actual waste water etc.) adding anode chamber is required higher, if actual waste water being carried out pretreatment can increase processing cost to reach substrate requirement, it is unfavorable for practical application and the popularization of microbiological fuel cell.
Microbiological fuel cell technology is as a kind of biological effluent treatment technology, due to the growth needs of electrogenesis antibacterial, needs when processing waste water to consider whether handled waste water produces toxic action to electrogenesis antibacterial more, thus limiting its application. And immobilized microorganism technology to have mithridatism impact capacity in the treatment of waste water strong, to features such as environmental change are insensitive, it is combined with microbiological fuel cell technology and can solve microbiological fuel cell process waste water problem encountered.
The present invention is with immobilized microorganism technology for object of study, on the Research foundation of existing microbiological fuel cell, adopt fixation in situ anode of microbial fuel cell microorganism, by in the agarose gel investment anode by its using microbe fuel cell, by the electricity generation performance of test microbes fuel cell and gel stability etc., it is determined that a kind of suitable in anode of microbial fuel cell makes the original position microorganism immobilization method being applicable to microbiological fuel cell simple, that biology is harmless, stable and cheap.
