STUDIES ON MICROBIAL FUEL CELL USING RICE WATER AS SUBSTRATE

摘要: In the present study, electricity was produced from rice water which is considered as waste product using a H-shaped double chamber microbial fuel cell. The effect of silver nanoparticle, anode surface area, cathode and chemical treatment electrodes on voltage current generated by cell investigated. It found that with help maximum value increased 0 .011µA to 10µA. Furthermore, when area 55.25cm2 221cm2, power 2070.2nW 2339.1644nW an increment more than 50% generation achieved increasing 221cm2. Similarly prior operation gave equals 32980nW while corresponding 170µA. Since conventional proton exchange membranes (nafion) used in are expensive. So alternative chitosan membrane comparatively cheaper has lower impendence be effective separator for MFC.
