Agricultural Waste and Wastewater as Feedstock for Bioelectricity Generation Using Microbial Fuel Cells: Recent Advances

In recent years, there has been a significant accumulation of waste in the environment, and it is expected that this may increase years to come. Waste disposal massive effects on environment can cause serious environmental problems. Thus, development treatment system major importance. Agro-industrial wastewater residues are mainly rich organic substances, lignocellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, they have relatively high amount energy. As result, an effective agro-waste several benefits, including energy recovery stabilization. To reduce impact consumption fossil sources our planet, exploitation renewable relaunched. All over world, efforts made recover from agricultural waste, considering global security as final goal. attain objective, technologies methods developed years. The microbial fuel cell (MFC) one them. This review describes power generation using various types agro-industrial wastewaters utilizing MFC. It also highlights techno-economics lifecycle assessment MFC, its commercialization, along with challenges.
