Patent

CA 2633663

The present invention discloses a fuel cell bioreactor, based on the microbial regeneration of the oxidant, ferric ions and on the cathodic reduction of ferric to ferrous ions, coupled with the microbial regeneration of ferric ions by the oxidation of ferrous ions, with fuel (such as hydrogen) oxidation on the anode. The microbial regeneration of ferric ions is achieved by iron-oxidizing microorganisms such as Leptospirillum. Electrical generation is coupled with the consumption of carbon dioxide from atmosphere and its transformation into microbial cells, which can be used as a single-cell protein.

La présente invention concerne un réacteur biologique à pile à combustible qui fonctionne sur la base de la régénération microbienne de l'agent oxydant, des ions ferriques et sur la réduction cathodique d'ions ferriques en ions ferreux, couplée à la régénération microbienne d'ions ferriques par oxydation d'ions ferreux, avec oxydation de combustible (tel que de l'hydrogène) au niveau de l'anode. La régénération microbienne d'ions ferriques est réalisée par des micro-organismes d'oxydation du fer tels que Leptospirillum. La production d'électricité est couplée à la consommation de dioxyde de carbone de l'atmosphère, et sa conversion dans des cellules microbiennes qui peuvent être utilisées en tant que protéine unicellulaire.
