The cathodic reduction of complex-state copper(II) was investigated in a dual chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC). The inner resistance of MFC system could be reduced in the presence of ionizing NH4+, however, mass transfer was hindered at higher ammonia concentration. Thermodynamic and electrochemical analyses indicated that the processes of complex dissociation and copper reduction were governed by the ratio of T[Cu]:T[NH3] and the pH of solution. The reduction of Cu(NH3)(4)(2+) could be achieved via two possible pathways: (1) releasing Cu2+ from Cu(NH3)(4)(2+), then reducing Cu2+ to Cu or Cu2O and (2) Cu(NH3)(4)(2+) accepting an electron and forming Cu(NH3)(2)(+) and depositing as Cu or Cu2O consequently. At initial concentration of 350 mg T[Cu] L-1, copper removal efficiency of 96% was obtained at pH = 9.0 within 12 h (with Delta Cu/Delta COD = 1.24), 84% was obtained at pH = 3.0 within 8 h (with Delta Cu/Delta COD = 1.72). Cu(NH3)(4)(2+) was reduced as polyhedral deposits on the cathode. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
