Eco-friendly microbial fuel cell for conversion west water to electricity

Abstract EN

The depletion of non-renewable energy resources leads us to discover an alternate eco-friendly fuel.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) considered as completely new ecofriendly approach, affordable and accessible to waste water treatment with production of sustainable electrical energy by converting organic matter into electricity.

In this technology we used sewage which successfully generated a power of 0.4 -2.9 V, which is sufficient to a light -emitting diode(LED) and current 0.6-0.85 mA.

COD removal efficiency achieved in MFC was 88.4%, TDS removal efficiency was55.5% This technology will be adopted for the future.
