99 results about "Microbial fuel cell" patented technology

A microbial fuel cell (MFC), or biological fuel cell, is a bio-electrochemical system that drives an electric current by using bacteria and mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. MFCs can be grouped into two general categories: mediated and unmediated. The first MFCs, demonstrated in the early 20th century, used a mediator: a chemical that transfers electrons from the bacteria in the cell to the anode. Unmediated MFCs emerged in the 1970s; in this type of MFC the bacteria typically have electrochemically active redox proteins such as cytochromes on their outer membrane that can transfer electrons directly to the anode. In the 21st century MFCs started to find a commercial use in wastewater treatment.

A microbial fuel cell device

This utility model relates to the field of microbial fuel cell technology, specifically a microbial fuel cell device, including a shell. A cover plate is fixedly connected to the top of the shell, and a partition mechanism is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cover plate. This utility model divides the inner cavity of the shell into two flow channels through the partition plate of the partition mechanism. Each flow channel is equipped with a proton exchange membrane. When the microbial fuel cell is working normally, the two flow channels are connected simultaneously, thereby increasing the working area of ​​the proton exchange membrane and thus increasing the working efficiency. When the proton exchange membrane needs to be replaced, a switching plate is used to close one flow channel, and the proton exchange membrane in that flow channel can be removed from the slot for replacement. At the same time, the probability of cross-contamination between the two ends of the flow channel is reduced. The cutting plate is rotated again to close the other flow channel and replace the other proton exchange membrane. This solves the problem that the bolt-fastened installation method of the proton exchange membrane is not convenient for replacement.
