Generating electrical energy from bulk biomass organic waste through microbial metabolism has recently attracted attentions as a potential method for clean energy production coupled with the added benefits of bioremediation 1 5. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate laboratory scale mfc which was inoculated with sludge containing mixed culture grown in palm oil mill effluent pome. A chemical that transfers electrons from the.

This work also aimed to construct a suitable design of mfc and to. Anode biofilm is a crucial component in microbial fuel cells mfcs for electrogenesis. Microbial fuel cells mfcs are a device that utilises microorganisms as a biocatalyst to oxidize organic and inorganic matters to generate electric current. In the present paper pome was treated using.

A double chambered membrane microbial fuel cell mfc was constructed to investigate the potential use of natural microflora anaerobic palm oil mill effluent pome sludge and pure culture bacteria isolated from anaerobic pome sludge as inoculum for electricity generation. Palm oil mill effluent pome is an organic waste material produced at the oil palm mills. In its raw form pome is highly polluting due to its high content of biological and chemical oxygen demand. Microbial fuel cell mfc a novel bioelectrochemical system bes with the potential of.

Enhanced power generation using controlled inoculum from palm oil mill effluent fed microbial fuel cell author links open overlay panel e. The first mfcs demonstrated in the early 20 th century used a mediator. A microbial fuel cell mfc is a bio electrochemical system that drives an electric current by using bacteria and a high energy oxidant such as o 2 mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature mfcs can be grouped into two general categories. In this study double chamber microbial fuel cell was operated with diluted pome initial cod 1 000 mg l 1 and polyacrylonitrile carbon felt was used as electrode.

Baranitharan a maksudur r. Bioelectricity generation from palm oil mill effluent in microbial fuel cell using polacrylonitrile carbon felt as electrode may 2013 water air and soil pollution 224 5. Better knowledge about the biofilm development process on electrode surface is believed to improve mfc performance.
