文摘以双室微生物燃料电池为反应器,铁氰化钾为阴极液,研究污水处理厂活性污泥菌液和玉米秸秆水解液对MFC的产电性能的影响。结果表明,随着阳极中活性污泥菌液体积(1.5、3.0、4.5、6.0 mL)增加,MFC的产电量逐渐增加,当活性污泥的体积增加至7.5 mL时,产电量开始呈下降趋势;玉米秸秆水解液在底物中的浓度为0、10、15、20、30、40 g/L时,电池的稳定电压分别为54、157、248、208、170、146 mV。当阳极活性污泥菌液体积为6 m L、玉米秸秆水解液浓度为15 g/L时,微生物燃料电池的产电性能最佳,此时MFC的功率密度为54.6 m /m^2,内阻为496Ω。同时,循环伏安曲线(C-V)和交流阻抗曲线(EIS)测试可知,MFC的电极过程由电荷传递和扩散过程共同控制,反应过程受电子传递控制。
