Simultaneous Power Generation and Wastewater Treatment by Using Air-Cathode Single Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell

This paper presents the study on simultaneous power generation and wastewater treatment by using air-cathode single chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC). A non-precious catalyst which is α-MnO2 was synthesized to be used for air cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) in order to replace the conventional use...

TP Chemical technology This paper presents the study on simultaneous power generation and wastewater treatment by using air-cathode single chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC).

The result obtained shows that higher catalyst loading give better performance to the MFC by generated higher power as well as higher COD removal efficiency. The maximum power density generated was 671.98 mW/m3. The prepared α-MnO2 may be useful and ready to replace the non-precious catalyst Pt for higher performance on the MFC for future study.
