Generation of Electricity from Whey: An Electrochemical Process

This study is concentrated on the electricity generation from whey over and done with a fabricated electrochemical cell. Whey (milk serum) is one of the prominent sources of bio-electrolyte because of containing abundant amount of branched-chain amino acids. It is one of the non-useable by-product...
