Application of a five level central composite design to optimize operating conditions for electricity generation in a microbial fuel cell

Prediction of Electricity Generation in a Duel Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell

Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Ability of Microbial Fuel Cell for Electricity Generation

The present study aims at designing a promising Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to utilize wastewater in order to generate electricity. Two types of salt bridge have been used in MFC (KCl and NaCl). The maximum electricity generation with 1M KCl and NaCl has been 823 and 713 mV, respectively. Varied salt concentrations (0.5M, 1M, 2M, and 3M) of salt bridge in MFC have been analyzed with different fac...

Electricity generation from cysteine in a microbial fuel cell.

In a microbial fuel cell (MFC), power can be generated from the oxidation of organic matter by bacteria at the anode, with reduction of oxygen at the cathode. Proton exchange membranes used in MFCs are permeable to oxygen, resulting in the diffusion of oxygen into the anode chamber. This could either lower power generation by obligate anaerobes or result in the loss in electron donor from aerob...

Electricity generation from a floating microbial fuel cell.

A floating microbial fuel cell (FMFC) has been designed and its performance has been evaluated for 153 days. The power output gradually increased to a maximum value of 390 mW/m(3) at 125 days. The polarization resistance of the anode (R(p)(a)) changed with operating time reaching a minimum value at 125 days, while the polarization resistance of the cathode (R(p)(c)) was relatively constant and ...
