Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microbial electrochemical technology, and in particular to a microbial fuel cell self-driven microbial electrolysis cell system and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are energy conversion devices that combine the dual functions of sewage purification and electricity generation. They use the metabolic process of electroactive microorganisms to directly convert chemical energy in organic matter into electrical energy. They can generate electricity while removing organic matter. The microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) bioelectrochemical reactor is derived from MFC. It organically combines electroactive microorganisms with electrochemical systems, uses microorganisms to remove organic matter in wastewater, simultaneously treats wastewater and recovers energy, and overcomes the shortcomings of low efficiency and secondary pollution when purifying wastewater by traditional methods. MFC generates electricity by consuming chemical energy in organic matter, but the electricity it generates is small and unstable, making it difficult to store and use; and as a low-energy consumption system, MEC requires a certain amount of electricity to operate. Therefore, the electricity generated by MFC is used to drive the operation of MEC. This electrochemical system takes into account the dual needs of wastewater treatment and green energy. It is a bioelectrochemical process that can use microorganisms as catalysts to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, saving electrical energy storage equipment and reducing power loss, which largely solves the limitations of biotechnology in sewage engineering.

[0003] Patent CN 118156566 A discloses a method for repairing a heavy metal polluted environment with a microbial fuel cell. By adding immobilized bacterial particles, the microorganisms in the anode area can enhance the system voltage in a co-metabolism manner, providing electron acceptors or donors for the microorganisms. However, the immobilized particles used in this method have a complicated production process, cumbersome processing steps, and use of stainless steel mesh as an electrode material, which is too expensive and not suitable for industrial development. Patent CN 103588307A discloses a method for treating dye wastewater, in which MFC and MEC are connected in series, and MFC provides MEC with electricity for degrading dye wastewater, thereby improving the efficiency of using MFC alone to degrade dye wastewater. However, this method does not mention the treatment effect of the system on other pollutants in sewage, and the specific implementation effect is unknown. Patent CN 109052620A discloses a method for removing cadmium ions from heavy metal wastewater, in which a microbial fuel cell and a microbial electrolytic cell are connected in series to reduce and remove cadmium ions in heavy metal wastewater in the form of cadmium carbonate. However, this method connects MFC and MEC in series, and can only remove 83.3% of COD at most, and the pollutant removal effect needs to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, it is very important to provide a technical solution that can solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

It is an innovative wastewater treatment and energy recovery technology. Based on the MFC-MEC system, a method of synergistic enhancement of coupled cultivation of different strains is used. The mixed strains are firmly combined with the modified carbon felt electrode, and have strong resistance to water quality shock loads. It can shorten the enrichment time of the electrogenic bacteria, enhance the power generation performance of the MFC and the pollutant removal effect of the MEC, and its preparation method is simple, the investment cost is low, and the application prospects are broad.

[0087] (S102) The sludge bacteria liquid is cultured as follows: under sterile conditions, LB solid culture medium is melted and poured into a culture dish to cool and solidify; 1 mL of sludge bacteria is taken and diluted by 10% with sterile saline. 8 After 2 times, 0.05 mL of diluted bacterial solution was drawn into the culture dish, and the bacterial solution was evenly spread with a coating rod, and the culture was allowed to stand for 1 hour, and then inverted at 45°C to obtain a single colony of sludge bacteria. The single colony of sludge bacteria was picked up with an inoculation loop, and purified by streaking on a solid culture dish, which was sealed with a sealing film, and inverted at 45°C. A single colony was picked up and placed in LB liquid culture medium, and then placed in a shaking incubator with a speed of 220 rpm / min and a temperature of 45°C, and cultured to the end of the logarithmic phase to obtain a sludge bacteria solution.

To maintain the anaerobic conditions of MFC, before assembling MFC, the anode chamber and cathode chamber must be purged with nitrogen, and then continuously sealed with rubber stoppers; oxygen is continuously introduced into the anode chamber and cathode chamber of MEC to keep the dissolved oxygen content at 0.5mg / L to maintain the anoxic state of the two polar chambers.

[0096] The anode of MFC is the mixed bacteria immobilized modified carbon felt prepared in step (S3), and the cathode is the modified carbon felt electrode prepared in step (S2); the anode and cathode of MEC are both the mixed bacteria immobilized modified carbon felt prepared in step (S3); the anode and cathode of MFC and MEC are parallel and opposite and separated by 1 cm, and the size of each electrode is 4 cm×4 cm×1 cm. The anode chamber and cathode chamber of MFC and MEC are separated by a CMI 7000 proton exchange membrane that is soaked in 5wt% sodium chloride solution for 48 hours and then rinsed with deionized water;

[0097] During the test, 25 mL of pretreated anaerobic activated sludge and 75 mL of simulated wastewater were added to the anode chamber of the MFC, and 100 mL of 0.1 mol / L potassium ferrocyanide solution was added to the cathode chamber; 25 mL of pretreated anoxic activated sludge and 75 mL of simulated wastewater were added to both the anode chamber and the cathode chamber of the MEC. Figure 1 As shown in A, the anode electrode of MEC and the cathode electrode of MFC, and the anode electrode of MFC and the cathode electrode of MEC are connected by titanium wires with a diameter of 0.6 mm, and then connected by 10 4 A resistor of Ω is connected to the two titanium wires to form a closed loop (it is also possible to connect the two titanium wires without a resistor, such as Figure 1 B).

[0098] In this embodiment, the pretreated anaerobic activated sludge is prepared by the following method:

[0099] The anaerobic sludge was filtered with a 200-mesh screen, and then the simulated wastewater was added to the anaerobic sludge, and the mixture was sealed and stirred at room temperature for 72 hours using an electric stirrer to obtain pretreated anaerobic activated sludge with a concentration of 30 g / L;

[0100] The pretreated anoxic activated sludge was prepared by the following method:

[0105] The MFC-MEC system was placed in a 45°C constant temperature incubator, and the output voltage of the MFC was monitored using the Lanbo voltage test system (BT 2018C Hubei Lanbo New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.). The voltage value was collected every 5 minutes and the data was automatically saved (e.g. Figure 2 shown); through Figure 2 It can be found that the maximum voltage is 767.72mV, the continuous and stable power generation is 259.27h, and the power generation cycle is 335.92h.

[0106] The polarization curve is a curve drawn for different power densities under different current densities. The external resistor is replaced by a resistor box, and the resistance value is changed to 10000, 8000, 6000, 4000, 2000, 1000, 800, 600, 400, 200, 100Ω respectively. The data is recorded after the voltage stabilizes. The current density and power density curves are calculated and drawn by the voltage values ​​corresponding to different external resistance values. The current density and power density are calculated according to I = U / (R×A), P = UI, where R is the external resistor value and A is the electrode area (the results are shown in Figure 2). Figure 3 shown); through Figure 3 It can be found that the maximum power density of MFC is 801.79mW / m 2 .

[0107] The COD and TN concentrations in the anode and cathode chambers of the MFC were measured every 24 hours (the results are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 ). Figure 4 It can be found that the highest COD removal rate in the anode chamber of MEC is 91.18%, and the COD removal rate in the cathode chamber is 97.96%; Figure 5 It can be found that the highest TN removal efficiency in the anode chamber of MEC is 90.15%, and the TN removal efficiency in the cathode chamber is 99.09%.
