Regeneration of FeII/FeIIIcomplex from NO chelating absorption by microbial fuel cell

Abstract Ferrous chelates ($ Fe^{II} $EDTA) can effectively absorb NO, but the regeneration of them usually consumes large amounts of organic matter or energy. In this study, a new approach to regenerate NO absorbed ferrous chelates with simultaneous electricity generation was investigated by a microbial fuel cell (MFC). The performance and mechanisms of $ Fe^{II} $EDTA regeneration were evaluated in the cathode of MFC reactor with and without the presence of microorganisms (referring to biocathode and abiotic cathode), respectively. It was found that $ Fe^{II} $EDTA-NO and $ Fe^{III} $EDTA could be used as the cathode electron acceptors in MFC. Low pH (pH = 5) was beneficial to electricity generation and $ Fe^{III} $EDTA/$ Fe^{II} $EDTA-NO reduction by the abiotic cathode. The biocathode performed better in electricity generation and $ Fe^{II} $EDTA regeneration, and achieved a $ Fe^{III} $EDTA reducing rate of 0.34 $ h^{−1} $ and a $ Fe^{II} $EDTA-NO reducing rate of 0.97 L $ mmol^{−1} $ $ h^{−1} $, which are much higher that than those for the abiotic cathode (0.23 $ h^{−1} $ for $ Fe^{III} $EDTA, 0.44 L $ mmol^{−1} $ $ h^{−1} $ for $ Fe^{II} $EDTA-NO). This was likely because the activation polarization loss and over cathode potential were reduced as a result of the catalytic activity of NO and iron reducing bacteria..
