Impact of Commercial Sugar as a Substrate in Single-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cells to Improve the Energy Production with Bioremediation of Metals

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have emerged as a viable method for bioremediation of toxic metals while also producing energy. In this paper, we examine the issue organic substrate source metabolism microbe growth in MFC, well its significance metal ion degradation tandem with energy production. This study focused on use commercial sugar an single-chamber MFC. The MFC was operated 27 days, highest voltage 150 mV achieved day 12, and efficiencies 89%, 76.45%, 89.45% Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, respectively. Every 24 hours, (sugar solution) fed into cell. study’s mechanism electron transport is thoroughly described. addition, some future views been highlighted.
