Built-in biological carrier cage tube type microbial fuel cell device

Abstract

The invention aims to overcome the defects of a traditional microbial fuel cell (MFC), and provides a built-in biological carrier cage tube type microbial fuel cell device, namely a novel microbial fuel cell device in which a tubular reactor is coupled with the MFC. The built-in mesh cage type device is filled with macroporous adsorption resin serving as a biological carrier, when wastewater passes through, a biological membrane is formed on the surface of the built-in mesh cage type device so as to degrade organic pollutants and generate electrons and protons, the electrons are collected by a current collector and then flow to a cathode to form current, and the protons are transmitted to the cathode to be subjected to reduction reaction. The device structure main body can be formed by connecting a plurality of single-tube type MFC reactor units in series or in parallel, the device structure main body can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual application scale, and the parallel combination adopts U-shaped joints for connection. A single MFC unit has a specific structure and has a unique design of separation of an anode, a cathode and a carrier cage, and a biological carrier, namely macroporous adsorption resin, is stored in the carrier cage. Flanges are mounted at the head and tail of the MFC, so that maintenance operation is facilitated. According to the design, a plug flow reactor model is adopted, high efficiency and accuracy are ensured, accurate control and optimization of the reaction process are realized, the sewage treatment efficiency and effect are improved, and more thorough purification treatment and energy recovery are realized.
