Embodiment 1

[0033]Enhanced bioreduction of CO using graphene-copper foam composite cathode 2 A method for electrosynthesizing acetic acid, comprising the steps of:

[0034] (1) Culture of microorganisms: the acetogenic bacterium Sporomusa ovata DSM 2662 preserved in the cryopreservation tube was stored in N 2 -CO 2 (80:20) atmosphere, activated in the 311 medium containing 40mM betaine; 2 -H 2 (20:80) expanded growth in 311 medium under atmosphere (without betaine);

[0035] (2) Construction of the double-chamber H-type electrolytic cell: the double-chamber H-type electrolytic cell includes an anode, an anode chamber, a cathode and a cathode chamber. The anode chamber and the cathode chamber are separated by a proton exchange membrane (nafion115). The anode is generally made of low-priced graphite Electrode, the cathode adopts graphene-copper foam composite cathode, inserts the reference electrode Ag / AgCl on the cathode side, and adds 311 culture medium in both the anode chamber and t...

The method comprises: 1) microbial cultivation; 2) constructing a double-chamber H-type electrolytic cell, wherein the cathode adopts a graphene-copper foam composite cathode, and microorganisms are inoculated into the cathode chamber of the double-chamber H-type electrolytic cell for cultivation, and the cathode The potential is ‑990mV vs SHE, and the anode chamber is continuously fed with N 2 ‑CO 2 (80:20) gas, the cathode chamber is initially continuously fed with N 2 ‑CO 2 -H 2 (83:10:7) gas, after 5-6 days of operation, continue to feed N 2 ‑CO 2 (80:20) gas, continue to run for 10 days; collect the bacterial liquid, and measure the acetic acid content. The invention provides a method for synthesizing acetic acid by MES using a graphene-copper foam composite material as a cathode, and the method has a higher rate of producing acetic acid.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of bioelectrochemistry, and in particular relates to a method for improving the biological reduction of CO by using a graphene-copper foam composite cathode. 2 Method for the electrosynthesis of acetic acid. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the global economy, the greenhouse gas CO 2 The issue of emissions has drawn the attention of countries all over the world. On the other hand, CO 2 As the most abundant carbon resource in the world today, it is of great economic significance to convert it into high value-added products. The microbial electrosynthesis system (MES, microbial electrosynthesis system) can convert CO 2 Synthesis of a variety of high value-added products, such as methane, ethanol, formic acid, and acetic acid, has attracted extensive attention. The use of microorganisms to produce metabolites shows a very good application prospect because of its readily available raw mater...
