[0099] MFC start-up

[0100] The nutrient solution and bacterial suspension are placed in the anode chamber 1 in proportion, and in order to create an anaerobic environment suitable for the survival of the electricity-producing bacteria 6, the nutrient substance is continuously purged with nitrogen for at least 20min before being moved into the anode chamber 1.

[0105] Routine pollutant determination:

[0106] According to the corresponding national standard, the COD in the water sample is determined.

[0107] DMP determination: DMP is determined by high performance liquid chromatography. To reduce solution error, 0.05 mol / L Na2SO4 solution is prepared to obtain DMP solutions with concentrations of 0.1 mg / L, 0.5 mg / L, 1 mg / L, 2 mg / L, 5 mg / L and 10 mg / L, and a DMP standard curve is obtained as shown in Figure 1-1 .

[0108] Multiple experimental cycles are carried out, and the voltage is monitored and determined in real time, as shown in Figure 1-2 is a voltage-time change graph, and the maximum output voltage of the sewage pollutant treatment device (the external resistance 13 is 1000 Ω) is 388.3 mV; as shown in Figure 1-3 (a), the maximum power density in the power curve is 434.8 W·m -3 . As shown in Figure 1-3 (b), the polarization curve of the battery is an important means to characterize the performance of the battery, and the existence of various polarization phenomena makes the actual voltage of the battery much lower than the theoretical voltage. This phenomenon of electrode potential deviating from the equilibrium potential is called polarization. Overpotential is caused by the resistance encountered by electrons in the transmission process, and is therefore closely related to the internal resistance of the battery. The internal resistance of the battery can be quantitatively obtained through the polarization curve, and the slope of the polarization curve is the internal resistance of the battery. As shown in Figure 1-3 (b), the modification of the supported catalytic material reduces the internal resistance of the fuel cell, and at the same time, the lower internal resistance has a higher power density, so it can be inferred that the battery with the supported catalytic material modified cathode has a higher power density.

As shown in Figure 1-3 It is found that the COD and DMP degradation efficiencies in one experimental cycle are 92.34% and 95.92%, respectively.
