Primary Study on Microbial Fuel Cell Using Refinery Oil Wastewater as Fuel

Article Preview

Abstract:

A single-chambered and double-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC) with refinery oil wastewater as its fuel was constructed respectively to investigate the feasibility of electricity generation and oil pollutants degradation using microbial fuel cell. Results indicated that the refinery oil waste water could be used as fuel in MFCs to generate electricity, the oil pollutants could be degraded by MFCs and the efficiency of double-chambered MFC was better; the main composition of pollutants in the solution influx and effluent of MFCs was changed and processes which were similar to anaerobic fermentation were proceeded.
