Nitric oxide reduction by microbial fuel cell with carbon based gas diffusion cathode for power generation and gas purification

Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier B.V..

Nitric oxide (NO) from anthropogenic emission is one of the main air contaminants and induces many environmental problems. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with gas diffusion cathode provide an alternative technology for NO reduction. In this work, pure NO as the sole electron acceptor of MFCs with gas diffusion cathode (NO-MFCs) was verified. The NO-MFCs obtained a maximum power density of 489 ± 50 mW/m2. Compared with MFCs using O2 in air as electron acceptor (Air-MFCs), the columbic efficiency increased from 23.2% ± 4.3% (Air-MFCs) to 55.7% ± 4.6% (NO-MFCs). The NO removal rate was 12.33 ± 0.14 mg/L/h and N2 was the main reduction product. Cathode reduction was the dominant pathway of NO conversion in NO-MFCs, including abiotic electrochemical reduction and microbial denitrification process. The predominant genera in anodic microbial community changed from exoelectrogenic bacteria in Air-MFCs to denitrifying bacteria in NO-MFCs and effected the power generation.
