Application of dual chamber microbial fuel cell with aeration cathode for bioelectricity generation and simultaneous industrial wastewater treatment
Background and Objective: Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a new green technology that uses the catabolic ability of microorganisms to produce bioenergy while simultaneously removing organic matter and other wastewater contaminants. Electrode material is one of the factors affecting the performance of microbial fuel cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of microbial fuel c...
متن کاملProducing Renewable Energy from Municipal Wastewater Treatment Using a Bio–electrochemical System
Concurrent renewable energy production and wastewater treatment are two main reasons for using microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this study, real wastewater was used for treating and power generation by air cathode microbial desalination cells (ACMFC). The total duration of voltage generation by ACMFC was about 151.9 ±23.2 h. The maximum voltage produced from municipal wastewater treatment was 27...
متن کاملSUSTAINABLE VOLTAGE REUTILIZATION OF A MICROBIAL FUEL CELL OF A LOW ORGANIC LOAD USING pH BUFFER SOLUTION INJECTION
Microbial fuel cells are obtaining increased attention in wastewater treatment technology because of provision of effective treatment in presence of a low organic load through continuous electrical power supply. This paper studies the voltage reutilization performance of a microbial fuel cell using recycled wastewater from its treatment process as an anodic fuel. The experimental results show t...
متن کاملElectric Power Generation from Municipal, Food, and Animal Wastewaters Using Microbial Fuel Cells
Here, we explore if microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology can replace activated sludge processes for secondary wastewater treatment. We will discuss the present limitations and problems of electric current generation when a complex wastewater is treated with a diverse and undefined community of microbes in large-scale systems. These challenges include low coulombic efficiencies, slow kinetic rat...
متن کاملProduction of bio-electricity during wastewater treatment using a single chamber microbial fuel cell
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a completely new long term, affordable, accessible and ecofriendly approach to waste water treatment with production of sustainable energy. The power generation efficiency in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is based on bioreactors, which may represent a completely new approach to wastewater treatment. In our experimental test we found that it is possible to gen...
