A Critical View of Microbial Fuel Cells: What Is the Next Stage?
(Wiley, 2018-10)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have garnered interest from the scientific community since the beginning of this century and this has caused a considerable increase in the scientific production of MFCs. However, the ability ...
Biofilm and planktonic population distribution. Key aspects in carbonaceous anodes for microbial fuel cells
(Wiley, 2018-05)
BACKGROUND
A comparison between different carbon-based anodes used in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has been carried out. Five different carbonaceous anodes were studied: carbon paper, carbon cloth, carbon foam 30 ppi, ...
Exploring the applicability of a combined electrodialysis/electro-oxidation cell for the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
The improvement in the treatment efficiency of diluted effluents is one of the great challenges faced by electrochemical technology nowadays. In the present work, it is aimed to develop an electrochemical cell for the ...
Reversible electrokinetic adsorption barriers for the removal of organochlorine herbicide from spiked soils
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
This work aims to describe the removal of clopyralid from clay soils using electrokinetically assisted soil flushing (EKSF) coupled with a permeable reactive barrier (PRB), consisting of beds of Granulated Activated Carbon ...
Development of a module of stacks of air-breathing microbial fuel cells to light-up a strip of LEDs
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
This work focuses on scaling-up of the microbial fuel cells technology according to the principle of miniaturization and multiplication. Seven stacks of 16 mini-MFCs (electrodic area of 0.866 cm2) were built up leading to ...
Are electrochemical fences effective in the retention of pollution?
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
In this work, a three-month test is used to evaluate the role of electrokinetic fences in the prevention of the diffusion of herbicide in case of accidental spills of large amounts of highly concentrated products in clay ...
Driving force of the better performance of metal-doped carbonaceous anodes in microbial fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
A comparison between different metal-doped carbonaceous anodes for air-breathing microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has been carried out in this work. In order to do that, the surface of carbon paper anodes were modified with Pt, ...
Pre-disinfection columns to improve the performance of the direct electro-disinfection of highly faecal-polluted surface water
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
This work presents the design and evaluation of a new concept of pre-disinfection treatment that is especially suited for highly polluted surface water and is based on the combination of coagulation-flocculation, lamellar ...
Thermally-treated algal suspensions as fuel for microbial fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Three thermally-treated Chlorella vulgaris algal suspensions were fed to two-compartment microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for more than three months and performance was monitored in order to determine whether this type of fuel ...
ZVI – Reactive barriers for the remediation of soils polluted with clopyralid: Are they really Worth?
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
In this work, the remediation of soil spiked with clopyralid is evaluated using two types of zero valent iron (ZVI) barriers coupled with electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF). These barriers consist of soil merged with iron ...
