Evaluation of Electricity Generation and Wastewater Treatment from Palm Oil Mill Effluent Using Single and Dual Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell

Evaluation of Electricity Generation and Wastewater Treatment from Palm Oil Mill Effluent Using Single and Dual Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) can be simultaneously used for the treatment of wastewater and generation of electricity. In this study, single chamber air-cathode MFC (sMFC) and double chambered MFC (dMFC) were compared for the palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment and generation of electricity whi...
