Zusammenfassung: | A bio-electrochemical device comprising at least one bio-anode immersed in an electrolyte containing anodic electroactive microorganisms characterised in that it comprises a diffuser (6), connected to a gas source, and arranged in a zone situated below or in the lower part of the bio-anode, the diffuser having outlet openings (9) for the gas capable of generating gas bubbles (11) sweeping the surface of this bio-anode and/or causing turbulences around it, the bubbles (11) being used to regenerate this bio-anode, during the functioning of the electrochemical device. A method for regenerating a bio-anode (3) by means of the above device, that can be combined with a reduction in the difference in potential between the bio-anode (3) and the cathode (5). |
