Microbial Fuel Cell for Sustainable Electricity Production from Seafood Wastewater

Abstract:

To make the treatment of seafood wastewater more economical and sustainable, this study aims to examine electricity generation from seafood wastewater in MFC reactor. By supplying the MFCs with seafood wastewater, the maximum power density of 291.6 mW/m2 and CE of 20.3 % could be obtained. The substrate loss was attributed to diffusion of molecular oxygen from the cathode to the anode, which led to substrate conversion through aerobic respiration rather than electricity-producing pathway. This study provides a conceptual demonstration of seafood wastewater for electricity production using MFC technology.
