Abstract: |
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical
systems that directly convert chemical energy contained in organic matter bioconvertible substrate into electrical energy. Since
the mid-90’s, researchers have attempted to simulate the bioelectrochemical
activity of MFCs: in this paper, in order to
develop an enhanced model capable of describing a complex bacterial
community, such as that of a MFC, an earlier model formulated by Pinto et al.
(2010) has been integrated with the ASM2d model, representing complex
biological systems with multiple substrates (Henze
et al., 2013). The resulting model is herein described, together with its
application to long series of MFC operational data. Results are discussed,
confirming the good performance of the new model. |
