Electricity production during wastewater treatment in a mediator-less MFC inoculated with aged anaerobic sludge
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, electricity generation integrated with organic substrate biodegradation was investigated in a continuous mediator-less microbial fuel cell with graphite electrodes and a selective type of membrane separating the anodic and cathodic compartments of MFC from each other. The performance of MFC was evaluated to treat actual domestic wastewater using aged anaerobic sludge. Results revealed that COD and BOD removal efficiencies were up to 88% and 75%, respectively. At an external resistance value of 100 Ω, a maximum power and current values of 318 mV and 3.11 mA, respectively were obtained.
