The theory, design, construction, and operation of microbial fuelcells
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), devices in which bacteria createelectrical power by oxidizing simple compounds such as glucose orcomplex organic matter in wastewater, represent a new and promisingapproach for generating power. Not only do MFCs clean wastewater,but they also convert organics in these wastewaters into usableenergy. Given the world's limited supply of fossil fuels and fossilfuels' impact on climate change, MFC technology's ability to createrenewable, carbon-neutral energy has generated tremendous interestaround the world.
This timely book is the first dedicated to MFCs. It not only servesas an introduction to the theory underlying the development andfunctioning of MFCs, it also serves as a manual for ongoingresearch. In addition, author Bruce Logan, a leading pioneer in MFCresearch and development, provides practical guidance for theeffective design and operation of MFCs based on his own firsthandexperience.
This reference covers everything you need to fully understand MFCs,including:
* Key topics such as voltage and power generation, MFC materials andarchitecture, mass transfer to bacteria and biofilms, bioreactordesign, and fundamentals of electron transfer
* Applications across a wide variety of scales, from power generationin the laboratory to approaches for using MFCs for wastewatertreatment
* The role of MFCs in the climate change debate
* Detailed illustrations of bacterial and electrochemicalconcepts
* Charts, graphs, and tables summarizing key design and operationvariables
* Practice problems and step-by-step examples
Microbial Fuel Cells, with its easy-to-follow explanations, isrecommended as both a textbook for students and professionalsinterested in entering the field and as a complete reference formore experienced practitioners.
