Enhancing Hydrogen Production using Single Chamber Microbial Electrolysis Cells by Tackling Hydrogen Scavengers

Creator:: Wang, Luguang
Abstract:: Biological hydrogen production from renewable feedstocks was reckoned as a promising method for sustainable energy production. Bioelectrochemical hydrogen production using microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) demonstrated superiorities over the conventional methods for hydrogen production. The introduction of the membrane-less single chamber design further improved the feasibility of MECs for practical application,...

Pilot study of operational parameters in microbial electrolysis cell with dark fermentation reaction

Creator:: Camplair, Mora
Abstract:: Biohydrogen production via dark fermentation (DF) and microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) demonstrate great potential for sustainable hydrogen generation. In this study, DF and MEC were coupled as a hybrid reactor and evaluated using brewery wastewater. The effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and buffer concentration on reactor performance were assessed...

Microbial Electrolysis Cells for the Production of Hydrogen Gas : Evaluation of Internal Resistance and Design for Scale-Up

Creator:: Miller, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Modification of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) by altering the sizes of the anode and the cathode, or their interaction with the liquid stream affects the performance of the MEC, but it remains difficult to quantify how much each change will contribute to the overall performance. Through this study, a method...

Electrical Conductivity in Mixed-Species Biofilms for Enhancing Energy Generation in Anaerobic Microbial Systems

Creator:: Li, Cheng
Abstract:: Further enhancement of energy generation is desired for practical application of anaerobic microbial systems such as microbial fuel cells (MFC) and anaerobic digesters (AD). A possible approach is to enhance the ability of microbial communities to transfer electron extracellularly in the form of electrical current. Critical to perform direct extracellular...

Energy recovery from biodiesel waste : performance of microbial electrochemical systems on glycerol

Creator:: Chignell, Jeremy
Abstract:: Pure glycerol and the crude waste glycerin byproduct of biodiesel production were tested as substrates for electricity production in single-chamber, air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and in single-chamber microbial electrolysis cells (MECs), using pure and mixed microbial cultures as anode biocatalyst. Current densities of 0.40 A/m² and 0.13 A/m² were...

Enhancing hydrogen production in microbial electrolysis cells through development of platinum-free cathode and improvement of reactor design

Creator:: Hu, Hongqiang
Abstract:: Microbial electrolysis provides a new approach for hydrogen generation from renewable biomass. At current stage, the most likely limiting factors for successful scale up of this technology are the large internal resistance and high fabrication cost. This dissertation presents an attempt to overcome these limitations by investigating novel microbial electrolysis...
