Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of microbial electrochemistry, in particular to a power generation device and a power generation method of a hollow fiber membrane component used as a methane-driven microbial fuel cell anode.
Background
Microbial fuel cells are an emerging electrochemical device that can convert chemical energy in organic matter into electrical energy using electroactive bacteria as a biocatalyst. The electron transfer process from the electroactive bacteria to the electrodes is critical to the power generation performance of the microbial fuel cell. It is reported that electron transfer involves indirect electron transfer process mediated by an intermediate mediator or electron shuttle, and direct electron transfer process mediated by membrane-associated cytochrome or nanowire. Microbial fuel cells can utilize simple compounds (e.g., acetate, propionate, butyrate, glucose, ethanol, and xylose), and can also utilize complex organic waste waters and sediments for the production of electricity. Methane is an abundant energy gas and is considered as a potential substrate for microbial fuel cells. However, methane-driven microbial fuel cells have only recently been investigated and there are still many unsolved problems and challenges.
Methane-driven microbial fuel cells are currently not commercially viable due to the lower solubility of methane and the longer doubling time of anaerobic microorganisms. Aerating methane directly into the reactor consumes a large amount of energy and is likely to result in methane leaks. To avoid this problem, hollow fiber membranes can be used to transport the gaseous substrate. In the hollow fiber membrane system, methane is supplied through a non-porous aeration membrane, and the gas flow rate can be controlled through a pressure reducing valve, which not only ensures the safety of methane supply, but also improves the mass transfer efficiency of methane. However, conventional fibrous membranes are not electrically conductive and cannot be used as anode materials for microbial fuel cells.
