Microbial fuel cell is one alternative technology that can be used to solve these problems simultaneously. This study investigates the influence of electrode distance on power density in microbial fuel cell using tapioca wastewater. The configuration of microbial fuel cell used in this research is a dual chamber MFC. Anaerobic inoculums and tapioca wastewater at pH 7 were used in the anode chamber at anaerobic conditions, whereas KMnO4 100 ppm solution and phosphate buffer at pH 7 were used as catholyte in the cathode chamber at aerobic conditions. Graphite sheet without metal catalyst was used for electrode in both electrode chambers, and Nafion 212 membrane was used to separate the chamber. Four variations of electrode distance were used in this research: MFC-MEA (anode and cathode were adhered together and Nafion membrane separated the electrode), MFC-2 (anode and cathode distance was 2 cm), MFC-AM (the anode was adhered with membrane with 1 cm distance with cathode), and MFC-KM (cathode adhered with membrane with 1 cm distance with anode). The MFC-2 was found to give the highest equilibrium Open Circuit Voltage (676 mV), while the MFC-MEA was found to give the highest power density (7.74 mW/m2). Furthermore, the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy measurement suggested that the charge transfer resistance is dominant in all MFC configuration, while the mass transfer resistance is dominant only for MFC-AM and MFC-KM. The values of wastewater COD removal in this research were in the range of 35-46
%, which were in accordance with the power density for all MFC” ][/bg_collapse] |
| Design of Reactor Side Feeding with Flow Reversal as a New Method for Manipulation of Local Elementary Reaction Yogi Wibisono Budhi |
| [bg_collapse view=”link-inline” color=”#4a4949″ icon=”arrow” expand_text=”Show Abstract” collapse_text=”The simulation of dynamic reverse flow operation (RFO) with reactor side feeding for selectivity issue during exothermic reaction, while incorporating mass and energy balances both solid phase and gas phase, is presented in this paper. This reactor operation was proposed with aim to avoid the conversion decrease during regular RFO. In addition, the manipulation of the product distribution became another opportunity for improved reactor performance. The reactor model consisted of mass balances on the level of elementary steps, which led to detailed dynamic influence of flow reversal effect on kinetics. The energy balance was incorporated with lean heat release due to very small concentration of reactant, diluted by inert. The model resulted in partial differential equation for mass balance in the gas phase, heat balances either in the gas phase and solid phase, and ordinary differential equation for mass balance in the solid phase. All differential equations were simultaneously solved using a software package FlexPDE version 7. The results showed the production rate of the desired product can be kept at high level, which may exceed the level of regular RFO and even of steady state operation (SSO). Even for the quasi-steady state regime, the reverse flow reactor with side feeding shows a different product distribution in comparison to SSO. The influence of shifting the feed positions to the reactor center is most pronounced. The reverse flow operation with reactor side feeding is a prime key for improved conversion and manipulation of product distribution.” ][/bg_collapse] |
