Abstract

The invention discloses a double-chamber alga microbial fuel cell and a method thereof for treating waste water and realizing zero carbon emission, which relates to a microbial fuel cell and a method for treating waste water. The invention solves the problem that the traditional microbial fuel cell can generate a large amount of CO2 in the process of treating waste water. In the invention, a cation exchange membrane is vertically arranged in a box body of a reactor; an anode chamber and a cathode chamber are formed in the box body of the reactor; an anode is arranged in the anode chamber; a cathode is arranged in the cathode chamber; leads are connected with the anode and the cathode; one end of a gas duct is hermetically connected with a gas collecting chamber, and the other end of the gas duct is arranged at the bottom of the cathode chamber; and a gas collecting device is hermetically installed at a gas outlet. The method comprises the following steps: (1) starting the reactor; and (2) introducing the waste water into the cathode chamber and the anode chamber, catabolizing organic matters by microbes at room temperature, simultaneously obtaining electrical energy, and introducing the CO2 generated in the anode chamber into the cathode chamber to be used by the alga at the cathode for photosynthesis. The invention realizes zero emission of CO2 and simultaneously can recover electrical energy, thereby really changing waste into resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microbial fuel cell and a method for treating waste water. The invention realizes zero-carbon discharge of waste water treatment and belongs to the field of waste water biological treatment reuse and resource utilization. Background technique [0002] The issue of global warming is receiving great attention from the international community, the global CO 2 The call to reduce emissions is growing louder. On February 16, 2005, the "Kyoto Protocol", which aims to limit global greenhouse gas emissions, held an agreement entry into force ceremony in Kyoto, Japan. Currently, 141 countries have ratified the agreement. The agreement requires industrialized countries to comply with verifiable limits on greenhouse gas emissions and to achieve an average reduction of emissions to 5% below 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. The United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2007 adopted the "Bali Roadmap" for negotiations on the post-201...
