Outline of Research at the Start

農業排水路には周辺から流出した肥沃な土壌が堆積しており,水質改善や温室効果ガス排出削減が求められる.底質微生物燃料電池(SMFC)によって酸化還元電位を高く維持すれば,リン溶出やメタン(CH4),一酸化二窒素(N2O)排出を削減できると考えた.しかしそのためには,電極に接しない底質を含めた面的対策が必要となる.そこで,発電菌の基質である酸化鉄と高導電性ナノバイオ炭を底質に混和することを発案した.本研究では水質保全・気候変動対策の同時達成に加え,地域未利用資源の活用,小規模発電が可能な技術を目指す.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We showed that the addition of iron oxide to sediment microbial fuel cells was effective in suppressing phosphorus release from the sediment in the short term, but may increase P release in the long term because of enhanced organic matter decomposition. Results of bacterial community analysis showed that SMFC increased the relative abundance of Proteiniclasticum and Anaerolinea, which are involved in organic matter degradation, and predicted their function in sulfur oxidation. The relative abundance of Cryptanaerobacte involved in phenol degradation increased with Fe application. These results are consistent with the nutrient cycle dynamics in SMFC application. For biochar development, the relationship between material properties and SMFC performance was clarified.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

底質微生物燃料電池は小規模発電だけでなく,土壌た水質の保全にも役立つ技術である.
