Description

Novel microbial fuel cell generating device and assembling method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and relates to a novel microbial fuel cell generating device and an assembling method thereof.
Background
With the acceleration of urbanization, the social demand for various resources is greatly increased, a large amount of pollutants are inevitably generated in production and life, the problem of environmental pollution is increasingly highlighted, and the problem of water pollution is particularly serious. According to statistics, in recent years, the discharge amount of wastewater in China is increased at a speed of 8% every year, and more than 80% of rivers and shallow groundwater in China are polluted to different degrees, so that the living environment of human beings is seriously influenced. The rapid development of social economy leads to the discharge of about 500 million tons of wastewater, mainly organic wastewater, in China every year. The organic waste water contains biochemical and non-biochemical organic pollutants, wherein the biochemical organic matters can consume a large amount of dissolved oxygen in the water body under the action of microorganisms to deteriorate the water quality, and the content of the biochemical organic matters reflects the important physicochemical properties of the waste water.
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are devices that convert low-grade chemical energy contained in wastewater into electrical energy. The device consists of a load microorganism (mainly electrogenesis bacteria), an anode and a cathode, and the working process can be summarized as follows: the anode organic matter generates proton and electron under the action of the oxidation decomposition of microbe, and the electron breathesEnzymes (NADH) with NAD+The proton in the electrolyte is transferred from the anode chamber to the cathode chamber under the drive of electric field force and concentration difference; electrons and protons are coupled to the electron acceptor (O) at the cathode2,Fe(CN)6 3-) A reduction reaction takes place.
The energy conversion of the organic matter in the MFC is divided into heat energy caused by entropy change and electric energy obtained through an external circuit load, and the larger the external circuit load is, the higher the energy that can be obtained. As the external circuit load approaches infinity, the energy of the MFC is equivalent to the free energy available in standard cell electromotive force. However, it is difficult to achieve the standard electromotive force of MFC in fact because there is a large energy loss during the electrode reaction and mass transfer process, mainly including activation overpotential, concentration overpotential, and ohmic overpotential. The activation overpotential represents the activation energy consumed for electrochemical reactions (anodic oxidation, cathodic reduction processes) to occur at the electrode surface. The activation overpotential can be reduced from several aspects: the temperature can ensure higher microbial activity to reduce activation energy by regulating and controlling the living environment of the microbes, including pH; g.sulfurfureducated microorganisms and s.oneidensis in the anode electrogenesis microorganisms are two main extracellular electrogenesis flora, which can directly transfer electrons to a cathode through cytochrome on an outer layer membrane of the microorganisms and can also transfer the electrons by using an electron mediator generated by self metabolism, and the external electron mediator can reduce the energy barrier of the electrons between the microorganisms and electrodes so as to improve the effective transfer of the electrons; the physical properties of the anode, the cathode itself (roughness, specific surface area, conductivity, etc.), and the cathode oxygen reduction catalyst and its loading are also important factors affecting the activation overpotential. The concentration overpotential is concentration polarization caused by concentration limitation of reactants when the anodic oxidation rate is greater than the diffusion rate of organic matters or the cathodic oxygen diffusion rate is less than the oxygen reduction rate, mainly related to the biofilm on the electrode surface, the water conservancy condition and the configuration design of a reactor, and can reduce the concentration polarization by increasing the contact area of electrode materials and reactants or arranging a stirring device. The ohmic overpotential is determined by the proton transfer resistance, and the main influence factors are the size, thickness and pore diameter of the membrane, the conductivity of the electrolyte, the electrode spacing and the like, the ohmic impedance is in positive linear correlation with the current density, and generally the ohmic loss can be reduced by reducing the electrode spacing or increasing the conductivity.
However, the existing microbial fuel cell is very complicated in liquid change and assembly, and the anode chamber is not well sealed, the main reasons are that the cathode and the anode of the existing microbial fuel cell are conducted through a lead and voltage acquisition is carried out by using an electrode clamp, the lead extends out of the cell from the cavity of the cathode and the anode, the cell is not hermetically mounted, the contact of the electrode clamp is not very tight, after long-time operation, the lead and the electrode clamp are corroded, the resistance is increased, the acquired data are inaccurate, the starting time of the cell is prolonged, the anaerobic environment of the anode chamber is poor, the activity of anaerobic electrogenesis bacteria is low due to aerobic bacteria enrichment of the anode, the electrogenesis capacity of the microbial fuel cell is further reduced, the culture time is long, the performance is unstable, the bacteria are easy to generate, and the research efficiency is low. The traditional microbial fuel cell seriously restricts the deep development of the MFC in the scientific research field of water pollution control and water environment management for a long time.
Aiming at the hysteresis of the traditional microbial fuel cell, an anaerobic environment which can ensure the simplicity and convenience of the whole liquid changing assembly process and can ensure an anode chamber is needed to be designed; the microbial fuel cell design firstly solves the problems that the whole cell liquid changing assembly process is simple and convenient, the anode anaerobic environment is guaranteed, the constancy of an external resistor is guaranteed, the liquid leakage phenomenon of the traditional microbial fuel cell is solved, the problems that the traditional microbial fuel cell is long in starting time, the anode chamber anaerobic environment is poor, the activity of anaerobic electricity generating bacteria is low, the electricity generating capacity of the cell is reduced, the performance is unstable, the mixed bacteria are easy to generate, the scientific research efficiency is low and the like are solved, and the microbial fuel cell design has important significance for promoting water pollution control and water environment management scientific research.
