摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to an air-cathode microbial fuel cell, comprising a reactor (20) defining an anodic compartment (21) having an anode (22) arranged therein and which is intended to receive a liquid electrolytic medium, said reactor comprising a bottom wall (202) and an opposing top wall (203), and a cathode (23) rigidly connected 5 in a sealed manner to the top wall of the reactor by reversible fixing means (30, 31, 32) operable in an operative position of the cell, wherein it rests on a support surface (40) via the bottom wall (202) of the reactor. The reactor further comprises means for controlling a level of liquid medium in the anodic compartment 10 sufficient for immersing the inner face of the cathode in said medium, capable of indicating an impending failure of immersion of said inner face, in the operative position of the cell.</p> |
