微生物燃料电池在环境污染治理研究中的应用进展

近年来,微生物燃料电池(Microbial fuel cells,MFCs)研究得到了迅速发展。由于可以将可生物降解有机物的化学能直接转化为电能,MFCs在环境污染治理及生物产电方面具有良好的应用前景。本文将全面介绍和总结MFCs在环境污染治理中的研究及应用,其中包括脱氮、脱硫、有机污染物降解、重金属污染治理以及垃圾渗滤液处理等方面。此外,本文还提出MFCs在研究及应用过程中存在的主要问题,并对其研究前景进行展望。

Progress of research on the microbial fuel cells in the application of environment pollution treatment-A review

Abstract: Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bio-electrochemical reactors that have the capacity to convert chemical energy of biodegradable organic chemicals to electrical energy, and developed rapidly in the past few years. With an increasing concern for energy crisis and environment pollution, MFCs has became a promising technology in the researches of environment pollution treatments and biology electricity. In this paper, we offered a comprehensive review of the recent research progress of MFCs in environment pollution treatment, includes denitrification, desufurization, organic pollutants degradation, heavy metal reduction and landfill leachate treatment. Also, we pointed out the challenges and problems which were bottle necks for a wide application of MFCs and the potential future development.
