Abstract
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor that utilizes chemical energy in the chemical bonds of organic compounds to electrical energy production through catalytic reactions of microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. In this study, the performance of a dual chamber, mediator-less anode, graphite electrodes MFC employing mixed consortia as anodic inoculums and using a combination of formalin and glucose as substrate was investigated. Different MFCs with different concentration of formalin and fixed concentration of glucose was operated to elucidate the difference in power generation and removal of formalin as an industrial pollutant under similar operating conditions [ambient pressure;...
