Biotechnology and Microbiology, Professor Vargas and his team use Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology to treat wastewater and sediments. These are biobatteries that can generate clean energy using the activity of bacteria capable of degrading the organic matter contained in waste and transforming it directly into electrical current. <\/p>\n<p>This battery includes an anode and a cathode, with contaminated water inside. The anode is made of materials that promote the growth of microorganisms that oxidize the waste in the water, recovering electrons that are transferred through an external circuit to the cathode, where the reduction of a terminal acceptor, like dissolved oxygen, occurs. This flow of electrons through the cell generates electricity.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b60090 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2b60090\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bb583e elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"7bb583e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;masonry&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:9,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:30,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/divulgacion.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7bb583e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTUxLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvZGl2dWxnYWNpb24uaW5nLnVjLmNsXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8xMFwvMi5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI3YmI1ODNlIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/divulgacion.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-300x244.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"244\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/divulgacion.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7bb583e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"3\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTUyLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvZGl2dWxnYWNpb24uaW5nLnVjLmNsXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8xMFwvMy5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI3YmI1ODNlIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/divulgacion.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-225x300.jpg\" data-width=\"225\" data-height=\"300\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/divulgacion.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7bb583e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTUzLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvZGl2dWxnYWNpb24uaW5nLnVjLmNsXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8xMFwvMS5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI3YmI1ODNlIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/divulgacion.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-300x139.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"139\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-228aef9 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"228aef9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc84fe8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc84fe8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Microbial fuel cells.

To achieve this, they focus on creating optimal conditions for the microorganisms to grow and reproduce, as well as exploring the discovery of new microorganisms in extreme or polluted areas.<br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simultaneously, Professor Vargas is working on optimizing the design of MFCs for scalability and mass production. This effort aims to develop sustainable treatment systems that can be applied to municipal wastewater, agricultural residues, and contaminated sediments. In Chile, integrating MFCs could significantly reduce water treatment costs and associated energy expenses.<br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This technology could potentially treat industrial waste, be installed in households for greywater reuse, and even function as biosensors to detect different compounds in water or soil. This research aims to have a positive impact on water resource management and to add value to a portion of the immense amount of waste we generate daily. Thus, perhaps in the future, we could have an MFC in every home and integrated into the sanitation systems of all major Chilean cities.
