Abstract | The enhancement of nitrate reduction in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) by acclimating biocathode potential was studied. An MFC system was started up, and measured by cyclic voltammetry to determine a suitable potential region for acclimating biocathode. The experimental results revealed that potential acclimation could efficiently improve denitrification performance by relieving the phenomenon of nitrite accumulation, and optimum performance was obtained at -0.4 V with a total nitrogen removal efficiency of 87.4 %. Subsequently, the characteristics of electron transfer behaviors were measured, suggesting that a positive correlation between nitrate reduction and the contribution of direct electron transfer emerged. Furthermore, a denitrification mechanism was proposed. The results indicated that potential acclimation was conducive to enhancing denitrifying enzyme activity and that the electron transport system activity could be increased by 5.8 times. This study provides insight into the electron transfer characteristics and denitrification mechanisms in MFCs for nitrate reduction at specific acclimatization potentials. |
