Abstract
A kinetic model of the bio-anode was developed based on a simple representation of the underlying biochemical conversions as described by enzyme kinetics, and electron transfer reactions as described by the Butler-Volmer electron transfer kinetics. This Butler-Volmer-Monod model was well able to describe the measured bio-anode polarization curves. The Butler-Volmer-Monod model was compared to the Nernst-Monod model described the experimental data significantly better. The Butler-Volmer-Monod model has the Nernst-Monod model as its full electrochemically reversible limit. Contrary to the Nernst-Monod model, the Butler-Volmer-Monod model predicts zero current at equilibrium potential. Besides, the Butler-Volmer-Monod model predicts that the apparent Monod constant is dependent on anode potential, which was supported by experimental results.Mesh:
