Bioelectricity Generation and Treatment of Sugar Mill Effluent Using a Microbial Fuel Cell

Microbial fuel cells are fascinating bio-electrochemical devices that use living catalysts to produce electric energy from organic matter present naturally in the environment or in waste. In this study, sugar mill effluent (SME) was used as anodic substrate in a double chambered microbial fuel cell...

In this study, sugar mill effluent (SME) was used as anodic substrate in a double chambered microbial fuel cell for an application of microbial fuel cell. The maximum power density, 140 mW/m2 was achieved with 50% concentration of sugar mill effluent. Maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal obtained was 56 % when 50% concentration of sugar mill effluent was used as anodic substrate.
