Glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, is a potential substrate for producing electricity and value-added products in bioelectrochemical systems. Here, we demonstrate a strategy to establish a highly specific ...

The large amount of molasses that are generated in sugar-processing companies are not always redistributed for commercialization in by-products. Because of this, the present research uses these wastes as fuel in low-cost, ...

Organic waste, mainly fruit waste, has become a global problem, even more so in developing countries, because they need current policies for its proper collection. This research used pear remains in microbial fuel cells ...

Greywater reuse through decentralized and low-cost treatment systems emerges as an opportunity to tackle the existing demand for water. In recent years, constructed wetlands (CW) systems and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) ...

A generalized low-order model of the biofilm in a microbial fuel cell (MFC), suitable for use in real-time engineering applications, is presented. It is based on the description of the charge transfer, diffusion process, ...

A Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) can be defined as a technology that uses microorganisms to convert the chemical energy present in a substrate to electrical energy. The performance of MFC is heavily influenced by the electrodes ...

Objective: Our study evaluated the performance of different two-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC) prototypes, operated with variable distance between electrodes and Nafion membrane and specific inoculum concentration, ...
