Short-term effects of temperature and COD in a microbial fuel cell

Gonzalez del Campo, A.; Lobato, J.; Cañizares, P.; … - In: Applied Energy 101 (2013) C, pp. 213-217

In this work, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and temperature stress-tests on a microbial fuel cell (MFC) were studied …. Regarding the temperature stress-test, its value was cyclically modified between 20 and 40°C with stepwise increments of 5°C … observed, indicating that the temperature stress-test did not modify the behaviour of the MFC used in this work. To study the …

High-rate fermentative hydrogen production from beverage wastewater

Sivagurunathan, Periyasamy; Sen, Biswarup; Lin, Chiu-Yue - In: Applied Energy 147 (2015) C, pp. 1-9

Hydrogen production from beverage industry wastewater (20g/Lhexose equivalent) using an immobilized cell reactor with a continuous mode of operation was studied at various hydraulic retention times (HRT, 8–1.5h). Maximum hydrogen production rate (HPR) of 55L/L-d was obtained at HRT 1.5h (an...

Carbon dioxide neutral, integrated biofuel facility

Powell, E.E.; Hill, G.A. - In: Energy 35 (2010) 12, pp. 4582-4586

Algae are efficient biocatalysts for both capture and conversion of carbon dioxide in the environment. In earlier work, we have optimized the ability of Chlorella vulgaris to rapidly capture CO2 from man-made emission sources by varying environmental growth conditions and bioreactor design. Here...
