Treatment of Blended Wastewater Using Single Chamber and Double Chambered MFC
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Microbial fuel cell is used for treatment of Blended wastewater (i.e.,dairy and distillery blended wastewater) for generation of electricity. Blended wastewater is treated in microbial fuel cell in ambient room temperature. In this study single chamber and double chambered MFC was used for the treatment of blended wastewater and generation of electricity. Micro-organisms present in blended wastewater and cow dung was used as inoculum, and blended wastewater acted as substrate. Single chamber MFC (MFC-1) and double chambered MFC (MFC-2) produced a maximum current of 7.99mA, 6.54mA and voltage of 6.54volts, 5.96volts.The power generation of MFC-1 and MFC-2 was 4.58W/m2 and 3.419W/m2 . MFC-1 was efficient in the removal of COD 84.77% and dissolved solids removal of 73.51% whereas, in case of MFC-2 the COD removal was 77.25% and dissolved solids removal was 72.23%. Different concentrations were loaded in MFC-1 and MFC-2 with the increment of the feed concentrations of COD. The COD and dissolved solids removal observed in dairy wastewater is attributed to the microbial catalyzed electrochemical reactions occurring in the anodic chamber of single and double chambered MFC.
