Poly iron sulfate flocculant as an effective additive for improving the performance of microbial fuel cells

Poly iron sulfate (pFeSO4) is widely used in wastewater treatment as a flocculant for promoting flocculation and precipitation of suspended solids. In the present study, laboratory microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were supplied with artificial wastewater and used to examine how supplementation with pFeSO4 affects electricity generation and anode microbiomes.

聚合硫酸铁（Poly iron sulfate, pFeSO4）作为絮凝剂广泛应用于废水处理领域，可促进悬浮固体的絮凝与沉淀。本研究中，研究人员采用人工废水为基质运行实验室规模微生物燃料电池（Microbial Fuel Cells, MFCs），以考察聚合硫酸铁投加对其产电性能及阳极微生物组的影响。
