Ore.- Engineers at Oregon Suite University have made a breakthrough in the performance of microbial (微生物的)fuel cells that can produce electricity directly from wastewater. opening the door to a future in which waste treatment plants not only will power themselves, but will sell extra electricity.The new technology developed at OSU； can now produce 10 to 50 more times the electricity, per volume, than most oilier approaches using microbial fuel cells. and 100 times more electricity than some.Researchers say this could eventually change the way that wastewater is treated all over the world, replacing the widely used “activated sludge (泥浆) ” process that has been in use tor almost a century. The new approach would produce significant amounts of electricity while effectively cleaning the wastewater,“If this technology works on a commercial scale the way we believe it will ,the treatment of wastewater could be a huge energy producer, not a huge energy cost?， said Hong Liu ，an associate professor in the OSU Department of Biological and Ecological Engineering. “This could have an impact around the world, save a great deal of money, provide better water treatment and promote energy sustainability.”The biodegradable (能降解的）characteristics of wastewater, if developed to their full potential, could theoretically provide many times the energy that is now being used to process them, with no additional greenhouse emissions.OSU researchers reported several years ago on the promise of this technology, but at that time the systems in use produced far less electrical power. With new concepts, the technology can now produce more than two kilowatts per cubic meter of liquid reactor volume.The new system also works better than an alternative approach to creating electricity from wa
