Article Abstract

Among various redox flow batteries (RFBs), the all-iron RFBs have greater application potential due to high accessibility of electrolytes. However, the potential of microaerobic ferrous-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) to improve the performance of RFB has been neglected. Here, several experiments were conducted using Fe-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)/Na[Fe(CN)] as a redox couple for investigating the enhanced performance by FeOB in this RFB. Results showed that the maximum current density of experimental reactors could achieve 22.56 A/m at 0.1 M, whereas power density could still maintain 3.42 W/m(16.96 A/m and 1.58 W/m for control group); meantime, the polarization impedance of anode increased slower and Fe-DTPA oxidation peak emerged maximum 494 mV negative shift. With increased electrolyte concentration in chronopotentiometry experiments, the experimental reactor achieved higher discharging specific capacity at 0.3 M, 10 mA/cm. Microbial composition analysis showed maximum 75% is , indicating has ferrous-oxidizing electroactivity.

Enhancing total nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands: A Comparative study of iron ore and biochar amendments.

J Environ Manage

September 2024

Eco-Environmental Protection Research Institute, Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shanghai, 201403, PR China; Shanghai Engineering Research Centre of Low-carbon Agriculture (SERCLA), Shanghai, 201415, PR China. Electronic address:

Efficient nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands (CWs) remains challenging when treating agricultural runoff with a low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C/N). However, using biochar, iron ore, and FeCl-modified biochar (Fe-BC) as amendments could potentially improve total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency in CWs, but the underlying mechanisms associated with adding these substrates are unclear. In this study, five CWs: quartz sand constructed wetland (Control), biochar constructed wetland, Fe-BC constructed wetland, iron ore constructed wetland, and iron ore + biochar constructed wetland, were built to compare their treatment performance.

Improving the electrochemical characteristics and performance of a neutral all-iron flow battery by using the iron reduction bacteria.

At present, the all-iron redox flow batteries (RFBs) have greater application potential due to high accessibility of electrolytes compared to traditional RFBs. Meanwhile, although electroactive bacteria can accelerate the electrons transfer, their potential to improve the performance of RFBs has been overlooked. Previously, we had confirmed that ferrous-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) could enhance the performance of an all-iron RFB, therefore we conducted several batch experiments and chronopotentiometry experiments by using the ferric-reducing bacteria (FeRB) or mixed culture (FeOB and FeRB) to demonstrate whether they have the same or stronger effects on Fe-DTPA/Na[Fe(CN)] RFB.

The preconditioning of digested sludge in sludge filtration systems produces hydrogen sulfide (HS), a major odor-causing source. This study evaluated the effects of adding HS-removing bacteria to sludge-filtration systems. Ferrous-oxidizing bacteria (FOB) and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) were mass-cultivated in a hybrid bioreactor equipped with an internal circulation system.
