Treatment of Brewery Wastewater and Production of Electricity through Microbial Fuel Cell Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Renewable energy is an increasing need in our society. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a new method for treating wastewater and simultaneously producing electricity. In the present study, we demonstrated the feasibility of bioelectricity generation from brewery wastewater treatment using a mediator less MFC at different pH. We also demonstrated that addition of readily utilizable substrates like glucose and sucrose to the wastewater can enhance the electricity production and COD removal. pH 7 was most favorable for Bioelectricity production. Up to 10.89 mA current generation and 93.8% COD removal efficiency was obtained by this method.
