Globally million hectares of land annually is getting contaminated by heavy metalloids like As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, and Se, with current concentrations in soil above geo-baseline or regulatory standards. The metals are highly toxic, mobile, persistent hence require immediate effective mitigation. There many available remediation techniques surface capping, encapsulation, landfilling, flushing, washing, electrokinetic extraction, stabilization, solidification, vitrification,...
Abstract Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are capable of producing bioelectricity using bacteria as catalysts that break down the organic matter present in wastewater (WW). The work demonstrates synergistic effect Luffa aegyptiaca (LA) combined with graphite plate anode material on voltage generation well pollution removal chemical oxygen demand (COD). Three different feed combinations WW and Reverse Osmosis (RO) concentrate is ‐ Experiment‐1 (75:25), Experiment‐2 (50:50), Experiment‐3 (25:75)...
Abstract In the present study, two‐stage constructed wetland microbial fuel cell (CW‐MFC) systems were investigated for treatment of raw domestic wastewater and bioelectricity generation under continuous regime high organic loading in presence absence Canna indica plant species. Results showed that reactors with without produced maximum voltage 0.39, 0.59 V, 0.27, 0.47 V respectively OLR 1.2–3.2 kgCOD/m 3/ d while NERs obtained by 6.85, 4.10, 5.24, 2.28 Wh/kgCOD. Moreover, highest COD...
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) consists of a cathode and anode; micro-organisms transfer electrons acquired from the degradation organic matter in substrate to thereby cathode; by using an external circuit generate electricity. In present study, single chamber electrode has been fabricated electricity sludge sewage treatment plant at two different ambient temperature range 25 ± 4°C 32 under aerobic condition. No work done yet any MFC system; it is hypothesized that submerged partially rest...
Microbial fuel cells (MFC) have gained focus due to their diversity in operating conditions & substrates for the generation of sustainable green energy. In present study, novel MFC has been fabricated using recyclable aluminum can as air-cathode and graphite rod anode treatment domestic wastewater simultaneous power generation. Three different substrate (COD) concentrations, high (>800 mg.L-1), medium (250 mg.L-1 - 800 mg.L-1) low (<250 were used. The maximum COD removal...
Comparative analysis of hybridized microbial fuel cell (MFC) with constructed wetland systems (CW) as continuous and batch flow in with/without plant setups has been done. The sewage-generated WW was spiked reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate [1:1] used the substrate. effects RO-induced salinity efficiency wastewater (WW) biomass conversion to energy have analyzed. based on removal chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved (TDS), voltage generation, recovery (NERs)...
