Organic membrane bioreactor integrating wastewater treatment and electric energy output

2013 
An organic membrane bioreactor integrating wastewater treatment and electric energy output belongs to the field of environmental protection technology and new energy resources and is characterized in that polymer matrix conductive composite membranes are used as electrodes in a reactor; anodes in an anaerobic area inoculate electricity-generating bacteria; waste water enters the anaerobic area firstly, and then enters an aerobic area; aerobes are used for further removing pollutants in water; cathode membranes are used for filtering effluent; the anodes and the cathodes are arranged in an alternated manner and are connected through an external circuit, so as to directly convert partial chemical energy existing in waste water organic pollutants into electric energy. The organic membrane bioreactor has the effects and benefits that both the cathodes and the anodes are made of conductive film materials, so that the reactor can degrade waste water while outputting electric energy, so as to realize energy conservation, emission reduction and energy source recycle, and the environmental benefits, economic benefits and social benefits are remarkable.
