Electricity and fertiliser production using microbial fuel cell stacks for possible integration with hydroponics
Our project partners Dibyojyoty Nath and Ioannis Andrea Ieropoulos from the University of Southampton recently published a paper on how microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can produce electricity and liquid fertiliser directly from raw sewage. By stacking 40 ceramic MFCs into two plastic trays, the researchers processed raw sewage and synthetic urine to generate a dual output. Each MFC unit produced up to 1.02 mW of power and 1.2L of catholyte every 48 hours from 2.5L of feedstock.
Microbial fuel cell centric nutrient rebalancing and recycling from human waste in space missions
Our Mi-Hy project partners at the University of Southampton have recently published a review article about how microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can be used to recycle human waste to enhance self-sustainability of spacecraft and missions. With this article, they’re addressing an important topic that hasn’t been properly addressed yet: creating true closed-loop systems for long-duration space exploration.
