Factors affecting the performance of double chamber microbial fuel cell for simultaneous wastewater treatment and power generation

Electricity generation from the readily biodegradable organic substrate (glucose) accompanied by decolorization of azo dye was investigated using a two-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC). Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of dye and substrate concentration on MFC performance. Elect...
