Peformance evaluation of petrochemical wastewater fed air-cathode microbial fuel cells using yeast biocatalyst

This paper presents the performance of air-cathode microbial fuel cell (AC-MFC) treating the petrochemical wastewater (PCW) from acrylic acid plant. The wastewater which is typically incinerated and possesses very high chemical oxygen demand (COD) due to presence of acrylic acid along with other org...
