摘要
本研究介绍了一种新型六边形结构的多阳极共享阴极微生物海水淡化电池(MASC-MDC),旨在解决传统mdc在处理高盐溶液方面的局限性。六角形将膜间距离缩短至2 cm,显著降低了内阻(~ 50 Ω),提高了生物电化学性能。与传统的三腔室MDC相比,MASC-MDC取得了更好的效果,包括更高的开路电压(646 vs. 553 mV),更快的脱盐速度(5次循环95.71% vs. 7次94.29%),更高的脱盐率(0.27 vs. 0.195 g·L−1·h−1)和更高的最大功率密度(162.2 vs. 119.2 mW·m−2)。该系统还达到了有效的污染物去除效果,COD降低90.05%。这些发现表明,多阳极共享阴极设计可以同时增强离子传输、生物能源生产和废水处理,为能源密集型海水淡化方法提供了一种可扩展的、自供电的替代方案。
Hexagonally structured microbial desalination cell for bio-electrochemically mediated removal of pollutants and improved desalination of hypersaline solution.
This study introduces a new hexagonally structured multi-anode shared cathode microbial desalination cell (MASC-MDC) designed to address the limitations of traditional MDCs in handling hypersaline solutions. The hexagonal shape shortens the intermembrane distance to 2 cm, significantly reducing internal resistance (∼50 Ω) and enhancing bioelectrochemical performance. Compared to a conventional three-chamber MDC, the MASC-MDC achieved better results, including a higher open-circuit voltage (646 vs. 553 mV), faster desalination (95.71 % in five cycles vs. 94.29 % in seven), higher desalination rate (0.27 vs. 0.195 g·L−1·h−1), and greater maximum power density (162.2 vs. 119.2 mW·m−2). The system also attained effective pollutant removal with 90.05 % COD reduction. These findings demonstrate that the multi-anode shared cathode design enhances ion transport, bioenergy production, and wastewater treatment simultaneously, offering a scalable, self-powered alternative to energy-intensive desalination methods.
