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 (MECs) for hydrogen production exhibit great advantages over many other biohydrogen production techniques in terms of versatility of substrate and hydrogen yield. However, hydrogen scavenging by methanogens put forward a great challenge to the application of the single chamber MECs when using mixed culture. Various strategies were...

Presented in this report is an investigation of the design, construction, and operation of scaled-up cloth electrode assembly (CEA) air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). 40 mL MFCs were designed and constructed using either single or double CEAs with carbon cloth electrodes. The MFCs were evaluated using acetate media, municipal wastewater,...
