Fast Biofilm Formation and Its Role on Power Generation in Palm Oil Mill Effluent Fed Microbial Fuel Cell

Fast Biofilm Formation and Its Role on Power Generation in Palm Oil Mill Effluent Fed Microbial Fuel Cell

In the present study, fast formation and characterization of biofilm and its role on power generation in the microbial fuel cell (MFC) were investigated and the biofilm formation was also correlated with electrochemical behavior of the MFC. MFC was operated with palm oil mill effluent as substrate...
