| Summary: | A plant sediment microbial fuel cell (PSMFC) is a promising new technology for harvesting energy and remediating a contaminated geo-environment. This study is related to the determation of the influence of various biological factors (different aquatic vegetation and microbial processes) on the degree of water purification contaminated with petroleum products and the generation of energy in PSMFC. For the purpose of the study, five PSMFCs with different vegetation (without vegetation, Typha latifolia, Phragmites, Spartina and mixed marsh vegetation) were constructed and the effect of three microbial processes (denitrification, sulfate-reduction and ferric reduction) were investigated. The best electrochemical parameters and treatment effect are achieved with the process of microbial sulphate-reduction in PSMFC planted with Phragmites. |
