Description
본 발명은 폐수를 이용한 생물 연료전지에 관한 것이다. 더욱 구체적으로는, 본 발명은 유기물을 함유하는 폐수를 처리하면서 전기를 생산할 수 있는 유기물을 연료로 이용하는 생물연료전지에 관한 것으로서, 폐수 내의 유기물이 미생물에 의해 대사될 때 발생하는 환원력을 전기 에너지로 직접 전환시킬 수 있는 생물 연료전지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a biofuel cell using wastewater. More specifically, the present invention relates to a biofuel cell that uses organic matter that can generate electricity while treating wastewater containing organic matter as a fuel, wherein the reducing power generated when the organic matter in the wastewater is metabolized by microorganisms is converted into electrical energy. A biofuel cell that can be converted directly.
생물 연료전지는 생물 또는 그의 일부를 사용하여 생물의 에너지 대사에서 발생하는 환원력을 전기에너지로 전환시키는 장치로서, 미생물 연료전지에서는 촉매로서 작용하는 미생물이 기질을 산화시킬 때 발생되는 환원력을 전기 에너지로 전환시키기 위해서는 에너지 대사에서 발생하는 전자가 미생물로부터 전극으로 전달되어야 한다. 그러나, 미생물을 포함하는 대부분의 생물 세포는 비전도체인 지질막으로 싸여 있어 미생물과 전극간의 직접적인 전자 교환이 이루어질 수 없다. 따라서, 미생물 균체를 촉매로 사용할 때에는 적당한 전자 전달 매개체를 사용함으로써 생물과 전극간의 전자 전달이 쉽게 이루어지도록 하여야 한다. 따라서, 산화형과 환원형이 모두 친유성이 강해 쉽게 막을 통과할 수 있는 전자전달체를 매개체로 사용하였다.A biofuel cell is a device that converts the reducing power generated in the energy metabolism of the organism into electrical energy by using a living organism or a part thereof. In the microbial fuel cell, the reducing power generated when the microorganism acting as a catalyst oxidizes a substrate to electrical energy. To convert, electrons from energy metabolism must be transferred from the microorganism to the electrode. However, most biological cells, including microorganisms, are wrapped in lipid membranes, which are non-conductors, so that direct electron exchange between microorganisms and electrodes cannot be achieved. Therefore, when using microbial cells as a catalyst, an appropriate electron transfer medium should be used to facilitate electron transfer between the organism and the electrode. Therefore, both the oxidized type and the reduced type used an electron transporter having a high lipophilic property that can easily pass through the membrane.
특히, 롤러(Roller)등이프로테우스 불가리스(Proteus vulgaris), 대장균 (Escherichia coli),알칼리제네스 유트로퍼스(Alcaligenes eutrophus),아조토박터 크로오코쿰(Azotobacter chroococum),바실러스 서브틸러스(Bacillus subtilis) 등을 사용하고, 전자 전달 매개체로서 티오닌(thionine), 메틸렌 블루 (methylene blue), 브릴리언트 크레실 블루 (briliant cresyl blue), 벤질 비올로겐 (benzyl viologen)등을 생물 연료전지에 사용한 예를 들 수 있다. 생물 연료전지에서, 산소 소비량으로 비교한 생물 연료전지의 효율은 세균과 전자 전달 매개체의 종류에 따라 큰 차이가 있었다 [참조: Roller 등., 1984, Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology 34B: 3-12].In particular, the roller (Roller) such as the Proteus vulgaris (Proteus vulgaris), E. coli (Escherichia coli), alkali jeneseu oil Trojan Perth (Alcaligenes eutrophus), azo Sat bakteo croissant OKO glutamicum (Azotobacter chroococum), Bacillus sub-blocks bus (Bacillus subtilis) And thionine, methylene blue, brilliant cresyl blue, benzyl viologen, etc., as an electron transporting medium. Can be. In biofuel cells, the efficiency of biofuel cells compared with oxygen consumption differed significantly depending on the type of bacterial and electron transfer mediators (Roller et al., 1984, Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology 34B: 3-12). .
베네토 (Bennetto) 등은 설탕을 연료로 사용하고, 프로테우스 (Proteus) 속 세균을 촉매로, 티오닌을 전자 전달 매개체로 사용한 연료전지를 구성하여 최고 44 C (Coulomb)의 전류를 생산하였다 [참조: Bennetto 등., 1985, Biotechnology letters, 7:699-704]. 로빈(Robin) 등은 생물 촉매로서 프로테우스 불가리스 (Proteus vulgaris), 전자 전달 매개체로서 하이드록시-1,4-나프토퀴논 (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone: HNQ), 연료로 포도당을 사용하여 0.5 mA, 0.7V의 기전력을 갖는 생물 연료전지를 구성하였다 [참조: Robin 등., 1993, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology 30/40:27-40]. 또한, 하버만과 포머(Harberman and Pommer)도 산화코발트, 몰리브덴/바나듐 합금 등을 전극으로 사용하고, 폐수 중 황산염 환원 세균이 생산하는 황화수소를 연료로 이용하는 연료전지를 구성하여 ㎠ 당 150 mA (150 mA/㎠)의 전류를 생산하였다고 보고하였다 [참조: Harbermann and Pommer, 1991, Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology 33: 128-133].Beneto et al. Produced up to 44 C (Coulomb) of current by constructing a fuel cell using sugar as fuel, bacteria from Proteus as catalyst, and thionine as electron transfer medium. Bennetto et al., 1985, Biotechnology letters, 7: 699-704. Robin (Robin) and the like as the biological catalyst Proteus vulgaris (Proteus vulgaris), as the electron transfer mediator-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone : HNQ) using glucose as a fuel A biofuel cell with an electromotive force of 0.5 mA, 0.7 V was constructed (Robin et al., 1993, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology 30/40: 27-40). In addition, Harberman and Pommer also use a cobalt oxide, molybdenum / vanadium alloy, etc. as electrodes, and construct a fuel cell that uses hydrogen sulfide produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria in wastewater as fuel. mA / cm 2) was produced (Harbermann and Pommer, 1991, Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology 33: 128-133).
최근에 금속염인 제2철 이온, 4가 망간, 6가 우라늄, 6가 몰리브덴 등을 전자수용체로 이용하는 혐기성 세균이 분리되고 있다. 이러한 금속염 환원 세균이 기질로 이용할 수 있는 물질은 젖산, 피루브산, 아세트산, 프로피온산, 발레르산, 알코올등의 지방족 화합물과 톨루엔, 페놀, 크레졸, 벤조산, 벤질알코올, 벤지알데히드 등의 방향족 화합물 등이다 [참조: Lovley and Klug, 1990, Appilied and Environmental Microbiology 556: 1858-1864]. 혐기성 세균은 에너지 대사의 특성에 따라 발효 세균과 호흡 세균으로 분류된다. 발효 세균은 당, 단백질 등을 유기산으로 분해하고, 호흡세균은 적당한 전자 수용체의 환원반응을 이용하여 발효 산물을 완전히 산화한다. 혐기성 호홉 세균이 유기물을 산화시킬 때 이용할 수 있는 전자 수용체는 산화제이철 [Fe(III)], 질산염, 이산화망간, 황산염, 탄산염 등이 있으며, 동일한 전자공여체의 산화 반응에서 발생된 환원력에 의해 가장 많은 에너지가 생산되는 경우는 산화제이철이 환원될 때로서 질산염, 황산염, 탄산염의 순으로 낮아진다고 알려져있다 [참조: 김병홍, 미생물생리학, 아카데미서적, 1995].Recently, anaerobic bacteria using metal salts of ferric ions, tetravalent manganese, hexavalent uranium, hexavalent molybdenum and the like as electron acceptors have been isolated. Substances which can be used as substrates by these metal salt reducing bacteria include aliphatic compounds such as lactic acid, pyruvic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, valeric acid and alcohol, and aromatic compounds such as toluene, phenol, cresol, benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol, and benzaldehyde. Lovley and Klug, 1990, Appilied and Environmental Microbiology 556: 1858-1864. Anaerobic bacteria are classified as fermenting bacteria and respiratory bacteria according to the characteristics of energy metabolism. Fermented bacteria break down sugars, proteins, and the like into organic acids, and respiratory bacteria completely oxidize fermentation products using reduction reactions of appropriate electron acceptors. The electron acceptors available for anaerobic hob bacteria to oxidize organic materials include ferric oxide [Fe (III)], nitrates, manganese dioxide, sulfates, and carbonates, and the most energy is due to the reducing power generated by the oxidation reaction of the same electron donor. Is produced when ferric oxide is reduced, which is known to be lowered in the order of nitrates, sulfates, and carbonates [Byeong Hong Kim, Microbiological Physiology, Academy Books, 1995].
철환원 세균은 전자수용체로 이용하는 제이철 화합물이 물에 대한 용해도가 매우 낮아 혐기성 상태에서 배양하면 세포 외막에 사이토크롬의 65% 정도가 배치되어 세포 안에서 유기물의 산화로 발생된 환원력을 세포 밖으로 운반하여 제이철 이온을 세포 밖에서 환원하는 것으로 알려져 있다 [참조: Myers and Myers, 1992, Jounrnal of Bacteriology 174: 3429-3438]. 또한, 철환원세균인시와넬라 푸트레파시엔스(Shewanella putrefaciens) IR-1은 전자 공여체로 젖산 또는 수소를 공급하여 전자 전달 매개체없이 전류를 발생할 수 있다는 것도 보고되었다 [참조: Park 등., 1996, Abstract, IEC Special Symp., Sept.: 16-19].Iron-reducing bacteria are fermented by the ferric compound used as an electron acceptor, so that the solubility in water is so low that when cultured in anaerobic conditions, about 65% of the cytochrome is placed in the outer membrane of the cell to transport the reducing power generated by the oxidation of organic matter inside the cell. It is known to reduce ions extracellularly (Myers and Myers, 1992, Jounrnal of Bacteriology 174: 3429-3438). Further, cheolhwan wonsegyun the city and Nella Fu tray Pacific Enschede (Shewanella putrefaciens) IR-1 has been reported that there may occur an electric current without an electron transfer mediator by supplying lactic acid or hydrogen as an electron donor [see: Park et al., 1996,. Abstract, IEC Special Symp., Sept .: 16-19].
한편, 폐수 처리장으로 유입되는 폐수는 높은 농도의 철을 함유할 수 있으며, 더욱이, 인 (phosphorus) 제거제로 수산화제이철 (Ferric hydroxide)이 사용되기 때문에 폐수처리장치에는 철이 비교적 높은 농도로 존재하게 된다 [참조:Ledecke 등., 1989, Water Sceience and Technology 21: 325-337]. 따라서, 제이철 환원 세균은 폐수처리시설의 대부분의 활성 슬러지에 존재하며 [참조: Nielsen 등., 1996, Water Science and Technology 34: 129-136], 활성슬러지의 미생물에 의한 제이철 환원은 슬러지의 혐기적 저장 상태에서 발생하고, 철환원 세균이 많이 존재한다고 보고한 바 있다 [참조. Rasmussen 등., 1994, Water Research 28: 417-425].On the other hand, the wastewater flowing into the wastewater treatment plant may contain a high concentration of iron, and because ferric hydroxide is used as a phosphorus remover, iron is present in the wastewater treatment apparatus at a relatively high concentration [ See Ledecke et al., 1989, Water Sceience and Technology 21: 325-337. Thus, ferric reducing bacteria are present in most activated sludges in wastewater treatment plants (Nielsen et al., 1996, Water Science and Technology 34: 129-136), and the reduction of ferric iron by microorganisms in activated sludge is anaerobic of sludge. It has been reported that it occurs in storage and that many iron-reducing bacteria are present. Rasmussen et al., 1994, Water Research 28: 417-425].
위의 사실을 근거로, 활성 슬러지나 폐수 등에 존재하는 다양한 미생물을 음극부위에서 혐기적으로 배양하면 배지 성분의 전자수용체 대신 일정한 전위를 갖는 전극을 전자수용체로 사용할 수 있는 미생물만이 최종적으로 생존 할 수 있게된다. 따라서, 이러한 방법에 의하여 폐수나 활성 슬러지등에 존재하는 여러종의 미생물 중 전기화학적 활성을 지닌 균을 선택적으로 농화 배양 할 수 있으며, 여러 종류의 폐수 속에 존재하는 고유의 전기화학적으로 활성을 갖는 각각의 미생물 종을 분리할 수 있다.Based on the above facts, if anaerobic culture of various microorganisms in activated sludge or wastewater is carried out anaerobically, only microorganisms capable of using electrodes with constant potential as electron acceptors instead of the electron acceptors of the medium components will survive. Will be. Therefore, by this method, it is possible to selectively enrich and culture the electrochemically active bacteria among the various microorganisms present in the wastewater or activated sludge, and to have the unique electrochemically active activities in the various kinds of wastewater. Microbial species can be isolated.
본 발명의 목적은 전자 전달 매개체를 사용하지 않고 다양한 폐수와 슬러지를 이용하여 효율적인 전극 반응을 수행함으로써 폐수를 정화하면서 동시에 전기를 생산할 수 있는 생물연료전지를 제공하는 것이다.It is an object of the present invention to provide a biofuel cell capable of producing electricity while purifying wastewater by performing an efficient electrode reaction using various wastewater and sludge without using an electron transfer medium.
또한, 본 발명의 목적은 폐수와 활성 슬러지내의 전기화학적 활성을 가진 미생물을 이용하여 전류를 발생시키고, 이를 이용하여 폐수를 처리하는 방법을 제공하는 것이다.It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for generating an electric current using microorganisms having electrochemical activity in wastewater and activated sludge, and treating the wastewater using the same.

상기 설명한 것처럼, 본 발명에 따른 생물 연료전지의 폐수 및 활성 슬러지에 포함된 미생물 중에서 전기화학적으로 활성을 갖는 미생물 종이 일정한 전위를 갖는 전극을 전자수용체로 사용하여 생장하게 됨으로써 농화 배양되게 된다. 따라서, 본 발명에 따른 생물 연료전지는 상기 농화 배양된 미생물을 촉매로 하고, 폐수 속에 존재하는 유기물을 연료로 하여 작동하게 된다.As described above, the microbial species having electrochemical activity among the microorganisms contained in the wastewater and activated sludge of the biofuel cell according to the present invention are grown by using an electrode having a constant potential as an electron acceptor to grow and culture. Therefore, the biofuel cell according to the present invention operates by using the enriched cultured microorganism as a catalyst and organic matter present in the wastewater as the fuel.
도 1은 본 발명에 따른 생물 연료전지의 구조를 나타내는 개략도이다.1 is a schematic view showing the structure of a biofuel cell according to the present invention.
생물 연료전지의 양극 및 음극으로는 흑연전극의 일종인 흑연 부직포 (graphite felt)가 사용될 수 있으며, 또한, 연료전지 자체의 저항을 극소화시키기 위해 양이온 교환막을 사용할 수 있다. 양극의 전도 매체로는 완충액이 사용되는데 pH 7.0으로 조정된 50 mM 인산염 완충액을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 양극은 공기를 연속적으로 주입하여 포화상태로 유지하고, 음극은 가스오븐을 통과시켜서 산소를 완전히 제거한 질소를 주입함으로써 혐기성 상태를 유지하였다.Graphite felt, a kind of graphite electrode, may be used as the anode and cathode of the biofuel cell, and a cation exchange membrane may be used to minimize the resistance of the fuel cell itself. Buffer is used as the conductive medium of the positive electrode, and it is preferable to use 50 mM phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 7.0. In addition, the anode maintained the anaerobic state by continuously injecting air to maintain a saturation state, the cathode by injecting nitrogen through the gas oven to remove oxygen completely.
상기와 같은 혐기적 조건에 의해 폐수 및 활성 슬러지에 존재하는 세균중 전극을 전자수용체로 사용할 수 있는 미생물만이 최종적으로 생존할 수 있게 되므로써 전기화학적으로 활성인 세균만을 선택적으로 농화 배양할 수 있고, 농화 배양된 미생물 종을 생물 연료전지의 미생물 촉매로 사용함으로써, 폐수 속에 존재하는 각종의 유기물들을 상기 미생물들이 대사하고, 이로인해 발생되는 환원력을 전극과의 반응에 이용하여 전력을 발생시킬 수 있다. 또한, 이러한 폐수 속의 유기물들이 농화배양된 미생물들에 의하여 대사됨으로써, 폐수 중의 유기물 농도가 감소하게되어 폐수 처리 효과를 달성할 수 있다.By anaerobic conditions as described above, only the microorganisms that can use the electrode among the bacteria present in the wastewater and the activated sludge as the electron acceptor can finally survive, thereby selectively enriching and culturing only the electrochemically active bacteria, By using the concentrated cultured microbial species as a microbial catalyst of a biofuel cell, the microorganisms can metabolize various organic substances present in the wastewater, and generate power by using the reducing power generated in the reaction with the electrode. In addition, the organic matter in the wastewater is metabolized by the enriched microorganisms, thereby reducing the concentration of organic matter in the wastewater can achieve the wastewater treatment effect.
바람직하게는, 본 발명에 따른 생물연료 전지에서 음극 부위에 전분폐수와 혐기성 슬러지를 사용하고, 양극 부위에 전분 폐수와 호기성 슬러지를 구성할 수 있다. 혐기 상태를 유지하는 음극 부위에서는 농화배양된 전기화학 활성 세균이 폐수 내의 유기물을 연료로 이용하면서 전류를 생성하고, 발생한 양이온은 음극과 양극을 구분하는 양이온 교환막을 통과하여, 양극으로 이동하여 산소로 포화된 양극부위에서 물로 전환되어 계속적인 전류 생성이 가능하게 된다. 이때, 양극의 폐수 성분은 호기성 미생물들에 의하여 유기물들을 대사됨으로써 COD가 감소될 수 있다. 따라서, 이러한 방법에 의하여 음극과 양극 모든 부위의 폐수를 동시에 처리할 수 있다.Preferably, in the biofuel cell according to the present invention, starch wastewater and anaerobic sludge may be used at the negative electrode portion, and starch wastewater and aerobic sludge may be formed at the positive electrode portion. At the negative electrode site, which is maintained in anaerobic state, the enriched electrochemically active bacteria generate electric current by using organic matter in the waste water as fuel, and the generated cations pass through the cation exchange membrane separating the negative electrode and the positive electrode, and move to the positive electrode to oxygen. It is converted to water at the saturated anode, allowing for continuous current generation. At this time, the wastewater component of the positive electrode can be reduced COD by metabolizing organic matter by aerobic microorganisms. Therefore, by this method, the wastewater of all parts of the cathode and the anode can be treated simultaneously.

In the first stage, samples of aerobic sludge and anaerobic sludge of the fuel cell were diluted with physiological saline (0.8% brine) to measure CFU (Colony Forming Unit / ml). After months, the same media and methods were used for measuring the results.

본 실시예는 본 발명에 사용한 전분폐수 (출처: 삼양제넥스, 대한민국 인천 소재)와 호기성 슬러지 (출처: 삼양제넥스공장의 전분폐수처리용 슬러지, 대한민국 인천 소재)을 이용한 생물연료전지의 특성을 살펴보기 위한 것이다. 양극과 음극의 전극으로서 350 ㎎의 흑연부직포를 사용하였다. 양극의 전도 매체로는 50 mM 인산염 완충액을 사용하였고, 양극과 음극은 양이온 교환막을 사용하여 연결하였다. 양극의 전도 매체에는 공기를 연속적으로 주입하여 산소 포화 상태를 유지하였으며, 음극은 가스 정제 오븐을 통과시켜 산소를 완전히 제거시킨 질소를 주입하여 용존산소를 제거함으로써 혐기적 환경을 유지하였다. 시험에 사용된 모든 완충액의 pH는 7.0으로 조정하였다. 연료전지의 저항은 반응초기에 무한대로 두었고, 전압이 최대치에 이르러서는 1 ㏀에서 생산되는 전류를 측정하였다. 생물 연료전지는 호기성 슬러지와 전분 폐수를 1:4 비율로 혼합하여 사용하였으며, 총 반응량은 25 ㎖로 하였다. 폐수 공급은 미생물의 폐수내 유기물을 이용하여 전류발생이 감소된 후 5 ㎖를 치환하였다. 전압 발생량은 포텐셜스타트미터 (2000 multimeter, keithley Instrument, Inc, USA)를 사용하여 120초 간격으로 측정하였다. 전류 생성량은 측정된 전압을 저항 (1kΩ)으로 나누어 환산하였다. 폐수의 화학적 산소 요구량 (COD)은 표준방법 (참조: Standard Method for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, Closed Reflux Method, 19판, 1995)을 사용하여 분석하였다. 도 2에서 보는 바와 같이, 전류가 0.21 mA까지 발생하였고, 쿨룸량은 26.5 C (coulumb)까지 증가하였으며, 화학적 산소 요구량이 1100 ppm에서 58 ppm으로 감소하였다. 이 실험을 통해 폐수의 기질이 산화될 때 발생하는 환원력이 전자수용체 대신 직접 전극을 통해 소비되어 전류를 발생시키며, 전분 폐수를 정화시킬 수 있다는 사실을 확인하였다.This embodiment looks at the characteristics of biofuel cells using starch wastewater (source: Samyang Genex, Incheon, Korea) and aerobic sludge (source: starch wastewater treatment sludge of Samyang Genex Plant, Incheon, Korea). It is for. 350 mg of graphite nonwoven fabric was used as an anode and a cathode. 50 mM phosphate buffer was used as the conductive medium of the positive electrode, and the positive electrode and the negative electrode were connected using a cation exchange membrane. Air was continuously injected into the conductive medium of the positive electrode to maintain the oxygen saturation state, and the negative electrode maintained the anaerobic environment by removing nitrogen dissolved by injecting nitrogen completely removed through the gas purification oven. The pH of all buffers used for the test was adjusted to 7.0. The resistance of the fuel cell was set to infinity at the beginning of the reaction, and when the voltage reached its maximum value, the current produced at 1 mA was measured. The biofuel cell was used by mixing aerobic sludge and starch wastewater in a 1: 4 ratio, and the total reaction amount was 25 ml. Wastewater supply was replaced by 5 ml after the current generation was reduced by using organic matter in the wastewater of the microorganism. Voltage generation was measured at 120 second intervals using a potential start meter (2000 multimeter, keithley Instrument, Inc, USA). The current generation amount was converted by dividing the measured voltage by the resistance (1kΩ). The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater was analyzed using standard methods (see Standard Method for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, Closed Reflux Method, 19th edition, 1995). As shown in FIG. 2, the current was generated up to 0.21 mA, the coolum amount increased to 26.5 C (coulumb), and the chemical oxygen demand decreased from 1100 ppm to 58 ppm. This experiment confirmed that the reducing power generated when the substrate of the wastewater is oxidized is consumed through the direct electrode instead of the electron acceptor to generate a current and to purify the starch wastewater.
