MICROORGANISM FUEL CELL SYSTEM, METHOD FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING ORGANIC SUBSTANCES

摘要

Provided is a microorganism fuel cell system comprising: an anaerobic tank which has anaerobic microorganisms accommodated and an electrode provided therein; an aerobic tank which has aerobic microorganisms accommodated and an electrode provided therein; a separator which separates the anaerobic tank and the aerobic tank; and an external circuit which electrically connects the electrodes, the electrode provided in the anaerobic tank constituting a negative electrode and the electrode provided in the aerobic tank constituting a positive electrode. This microorganism fuel cell system does not require the addition of a mediator, and is capable of operating, without generating bad odours, whether low concentration organic substances are supplied or high concentration organic substances are supplied.
