Microbial fuel cell (MFC) in treating spent caustic wastewater

Some of the major problems encountered by the world are water pollution and natural resources depletion. One of the major factors which contribute to water pollution is insufficiently treated wastewater whereas the depletion of natural resources is due to the dependability of the fossil fuel as the...

One of the major factors which contribute to water pollution is insufficiently treated wastewater whereas the depletion of natural resources is due to the dependability of the fossil fuel as the main energy source.
