聚吡咯/海藻酸钠改性阳极MFC处理染料废水的效能

Study on the performance of MFC with polypyrrole/sodium alginate-modified anode for treating dye wastewater

  • 摘要: 为提升微生物燃料电池(MFC)阳极的导电性和生物相容性,强化其对染料废水的处理效能,以聚吡咯(PPy)、聚苯胺(PANI)和海藻酸钠(SA)为修饰材料,对传统碳毡阳极(CF)进行改性,采用原位聚合法制备了PPy-SA/CF及PPy-PANI-SA/CF改性CF阳极,考察了电极的形貌结构特征、产电性能及污染物去除效能。电极形貌结构表征表明,PPy-SA/CF表面形成了凹凸不平的堆叠状结构,其电极表面粗糙度和褶皱度高于PPy-PANI-SA/CF及CF电极。电极电化学性能测试表明,PPy-SA/CF电极具有最低的电荷转移电阻(32.02 Ω)及最小的塔菲尔斜率(28.293 V/dec),从而使其具有最高的比容量(3 796.35 mF/cm2),表明PPy和SA的修饰提高了CF阳极的电子传输效率及储能能力。以PPy-SA/CF为阳极构建的H型双室MFC(PPy-SA/CF-MFC)在处理亚甲基蓝(MB)废水时表现出较高的最大功率密度〔(127.14±7.26)mW/m2〕及MB脱色率(95.15%±1.82%),明显优于PPy-PANI-SA/CF-MFC〔(113.75±5.89)mW/m2,88.95%±3.91%〕及CF-MFC〔(57.6±5.88)mW/m2,76.15%±2.30%〕。微生物群落结构分析表明,PPy-SA/CF阳极表面形成了以Syntrophomonas(3.8%)及Anaerolinea(6.3%)等功能菌为优势菌群的微生物群落结构,具有显著的物种优势度,是PPy-SA/CF-MFC产电与MB脱色效能增强的主要原因。

     

    Abstract: This study aimed to enhance the conductivity and biocompatibility of microbial fuel cell (MFC) anodes to improve their performance in treating dye wastewater. Traditional carbon felt (CF) anodes were modified with polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline (PANI), and sodium alginate (SA). The modified carbon felt anodes, PPy-SA/CF and PPy-PANI-SA/CF, were prepared via in situ polymerization. The morphological and structural characteristics of the electrodes, as well as their electricity generation performance and pollutant removal efficiency, were evaluated. Characterization of electrode morphological structures revealed that the PPy-SA/CF surface exhibited an uneven, stacked structure with higher surface roughness and wrinkle density than those of the PPy-PANI-SA/CF and CF electrodes. Electrochemical performance tests indicated that the PPy-SA/CF electrode had the lowest charge transfer resistance (32.02 Ω) and the smallest Tafel slope (28.293 V/dec), resulting in the highest specific capacitance (3 796.35 mF/cm2). These results demonstrated that the modification with PPy and SA improved the electron transfer efficiency and energy storage capacity of the CF anode. An H-type two-chamber MFC was constructed using the PPy-SA/CF anode (PPy-SA/CF-MFC) for treating methylene blue (MB) wastewater. The PPy-SA/CF-MFC exhibited superior performance, with a maximum power density ((127.14±7.26)mW/m2) and MB decolorization rate (95.15%±1.82%). These values were higher than those of PPy-PANI-SA/CF-MFC ((113.75±5.89)mW/m2, 88.95%±3.91%) and CF-MFC ((57.6±5.88)mW/m2, 76.15%±2.30%). The analysis of microbial community structure revealed that the anode surface of PPy-SA/CF developed a microbial community dominated by functional genera such as Syntrophomonas (3.8%) and Anaerolinea (6.3%), which exhibited significant species dominance. This dominant microbial community is identified as the primary factor responsible for the enhanced electricity generation and MB wastewater decolorization efficiency of the PPy-SA/CF-MFC.
