INFLUENCE OF MICROBIAL FUEL CELL (MFC) DESIGN ON ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFC’s) have been widely accepted as an ecofriendly
method for wastewater treatment and bioenergy generation.
In this research, architectures of MFC type H and a chamber were
evaluated using wastewater from the textile industry, exchange
membrane; cellophane and salt bridge and two sizes of electrodes.
The performance of the MFC’s in bioelectricity generation and water
treatment was monitored for six days using open circuit (OC) and
closed circuit (CC) potential, current intensity (I), power density (PD),
coulombic efficiency (%EC), color removal (%CR) and COD removal
(%RCOD). The study determined that in type H MFC’s the production
of bioenergy is affected by the type of membrane and influences the
OC, CC, I and the size of the electrode influences the I and %EC, if we
refer to water treatment both the type of membrane and the size of
the electrode affect the %CR and %RCOD. In MFC’s single-chamber,
bioenergy production and water treatment are affected by electrode
size and influence OC, %CR and %RCOD.
