Bio-Generation of Electrical Energy from Wastewater Using Microbial Fuel Cell

摘要: The main aim of this research was to evaluate the ability of microorganisms to produce the electrical power and biological treatment of municipal wastewater in MFCs. The current intensity was measured using digital Avometer. COD (chemical oxygen demand), TSS (total suspended solids) and coilform group were determined according to standard methods. The obtained experimental results showed that municipal wastewater treated in MFCs had a maximum produced current were 17.1mA/m(3). Regarding, the results COD, TSS, total and fecal coilform removal from treated effluent for 21 days of operation were 320 mg/L, 103 mg/L, 2.9x10(2) and 1.5x10(2) MPN-Index/100ml. Results concluded MFCs is promising technology for electricity production from wastewater and it can be biologically treatment of this waste. In addition to that, more investigation of this point must be study in the future.
