Microbial Fuel Cell for Energy Generation from Waste Water Treatment

Energy problem is a global issue that has a serious effect on many countries in the world. In order to overcome energy crisis and the output pollution of the generation, it is suggested to use the Microbial Fuel Cell (M.F.C). M.F.Cs are devices that use bacteria as a catalyst to oxidize organic and inorganic matters and generate electric current along with waste water treatment which plays an important role in environmental benefit in water recourses . The application of microbial fuel cell (MFC) for electricity generation has been developing recently. This research explores the application of MFC in generating electricity using wastewater The wastewater has been performed for The maximum current, voltage, We investigated the simultaneous production of electrical power and wastewater sludge recycling by microbial fuel cells (MFC). The constructed MFC were comprised of two chambers, each with an approximate volume of 500 ml to 1 liter, which were connected by salt bridge. The Graphitic rod anode was placed in one chamber, which was filled with wastewater sludge. Graphitic & Aluminum mix alloy strip as cathode was placed in the other chamber and filled with an electrolyte.. Cotton rope was selected as the material for PEM with agar powder & salt solution. The fuel cell model were designed to accommodate a voltage increase & measured by multimeter. Also we observed required parameters for waste water as PH, TDS, Temperature, Colour, Odour.
