A microbial fuel cell (MFC) latrine that treats human waste and produces compost and electricity was deployed in Agona Nyakrom, Ghana. After solid wastes were composted, the MFC treated organic matter and nitrogen from the remaining liquid stream. Organic matter was oxidized in the anode by anode-respiring bacteria that transfer electrons to an external circuit, producing electricity, which was...

Microbial fuel cell represents an emerging technology to attain electrical energy from wastewater. There are several alternative methods available for wastewater treatment; Microbial fuel cell is one of them, which generates green energy from wastewater for making a contribution to renewable sources of energy. This study states the performance of microbial fuel cell with different parameters i....

A mathematical model for the theoretical evaluation of microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) is presented that incorporates a detailed physico-chemical framework, includes multiple reactions (both at the electrodes and in the bulk phase) and involves a variety of microbial functional groups. The model is applied to two theoretical case studies: (i) A microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) fo...

The current study deals with the performance of constructed wetland (CW) incorporating a microbial fuel cell (MFC) for wastewater treatment and electricity generation. whole unit is referred to as CW-MFC. This technique involves two treatments; first an aerobic which occurs in upper layer system (cathode section) second anaerobic biological lower (anode section). Two types electrode material we...

Cr (VI) is hazardous to humans and our environment. Leersia hexandra Swartz (L. hexandra) the first wet chromium hyperaccumulator found in China. This study constructed L. wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) system treat wastewater. It also determined effects of different dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations on power generation, pollutant removal, reduction. Cathode aeration promoted voltage o...

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) was operated with a pure culture of Cupriavidus basilensis bacterial cells growing in the anode compartment in a defined medium containing acetate or phenol. Operating this mediator-less MFC under a constant external resistor of 1 kΩ with acetate or phenol led to current generation of 902 and 310 mA m(-2) respectively. In the MFC which was operated using acetate or p...

The ceramic separator has been interested in low-cost alternative proton exchange membranes a microbial fuel cell (MFC). In this study, the silica-modified integrated with yeast-based MFC for electricity generation and phenol treatment from winery wastewater. 30% (w/w) silica powder was mixed 70% natural clay. modified plates (0.2, 0.5, 1.0 cm of thickness) were prepared at 680°C used operation...
