A Comparative Study for Electricity Generation and Wastewater Treatment from Palm Oil Mill Effluent by Microbial Fuel Cell using Different Sizes of Electrodes

The growth in the worldwide of energy demand every year and the over consumption of non renewable sources of energy has led to the identification and use of renewable and cost effective sources of energy. In this context, palm oil mill effluent, which contains high levels of degradable organic mat...
