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...

agricultural waste biomass generated from agricultural production and food processing industry are abundant, such as durian  peel, mango peel, corn straw, rice bran, corn shell, potato peel and many more. due to low commercial value, these wastes are disposed in landfill, which if not managed properly may cause environmental problems. currently, environmental laws and regulations pertaining to ...

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...

In this study, the hydrothermal treatment of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) for the production of biochar as a renewable solid fuel was investigated. The properties of surrogate MSWs and mixtures of newspaper and vegetables were greatly improved by hydrothermal treatment and were similar to those of coal-like fuel substances. Hydrothermal treatment increased the calorific value, the fixed carbon...

Commercial transportation fuels are complex mixtures containing hundreds or thousands of chemical components, whose composition has evolved considerably during the past 100 years. In conjunction with concurrent engine advancements, automotive fuel composition has been fine-tuned to balance efficiency and power demands while minimizing emissions. Pollutant emissions from internal combustion engi...
