Effect of lignin addition on the performance of microbial fuel cell

Abstract

Effect of lignin addition on the performance of microbial fuel cell. Lignin was reported to have inhibitory effect on MFC operation. Products of lignin degradation were shown to decrease bacteria viability and efficiency, often leading to bacteria cell death. The aim of the work was to verify lignin addition effect on the performance of MFC. It was observed that after introducing to the reactors 10 g/l of lignin, bacteria from anode biofilm survived and MFC operation was not disturbed when compared with MFC where lignin was not added. The results show no inhibitory effect of lignin addition on biocurrent generation in the investigated conditions.
