ANDREEA IONASCU: A STUDY ON THE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS: FROM ORGANIC WASTE TO ELECTRICITY

ANDREEA IONASCU: A STUDY ON THE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS: FROM ORGANIC WASTE TO ELECTRICITY
Wednesday 29 July, 4.30pm The prototype involves setting up microbial fuel cells (MFC)  to potentially convert the organic substances present in autoclaved and diluted acid mine drainage (AMD) into electricity in an anaerobic environment, in association with a plant growth and harvest study within the premises of a vertical garden. It aims to monitor the production of electricity and useful biomass along with the biogas production from digestate. The build involves accessing local/ easily accessible, reusable materials to facilitate easy replication in different locations. Andreea Ionascu is a Slade MFA Sculpture 2019 graduate, her work focusing on artificial realities. She is currently involved in UCL PhD research with the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering in collaboration with the EEL to build and create a prototype involving microbial fuel cells.
