Title: Biofuel cell
Inventor: KARAMANEV DIMITRE
IPC: H01M8/20
Filed: 2004-06-25
Granted: 2011-09-20
Abstract: The present invention discloses a new type of biofuel cell, based on the microbial regeneration of the oxidant, ferric ions. The bio-fuel cell is based on the cathodic reduction of ferric to ferrous ions, coupled with the microbial regeneration of ferric ions by the oxidation of ferrous ions, with fuel (such as hydrogen) oxidation on the anode. The microbial regeneration of ferric ions is achieved by chemolithotrophic microorganisms such as Acidithiobacillus ferroxidans. Electrical generation is coupled with the consumption of carbon dioxide from atmosphere and its transformation into microbial cells, which can be used as a single-cell protein.

Abstract: A device and method for producing a reformate fuel from a hydrocarbon gas source. Gases (102) having low concentrations of hydrocarbons are concentrated using a concentrator (120) into a gaseous (123) or liquid (131) concentrated VOC fuel. The concentrated VOC fuel is then converted into a reformate (145) using a reformer (140). The reformate (145) is more easily consumed by an energy conversion device (160) such as a combustion engine, fuel cell, sterling engine or similar device that converts chemical energy into kinetic or electrical energy. The reformer (140) enables complex hydrocarbon fuels that are not normally suitable for use in an energy conversion device (160) to be converted into a reformate (145). The reformate (145) may be directly supplied into the energy conversion device (160).
