Different Types

Energy from edible and inedible root crop roots and tubers using galvanic cell and processing waste waters through microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology was harnessed. Electrolyte in the roots and tubers was tapped for galvanic cell and the microorganisms from waste waters act as catalyst in MFC. In galvanic cell, the optimized responses of badiang, cassava and sweetpotato were greatly affected by the surface area and distance between anode and cathode electrodes. An increase of nata-de-coco membrane size in MFC increased the voltage and current by 4.94 and 11.71 times, respectively. Increasing the width of anode also enhanced the responses. Different types of microorganisms were isolated from the biofilm anode of MFC. Their growth and proliferation which corresponded to the generation of electricity were also demonstrated in this study. A total of 54 bacterial isolates were collected from the biofilm at the anode of single-chamber MFC (SCMFC). The generated electricity observed using light emitting diodes (LED) showed potential both for galvanic and microbial fuel cell. The generated regression models are reliable tools in predicting desired outputs for future applications. These promising results demonstrated basic information on the electrical energy recovery from rootcrop waste waters and roots/tubers.

Measurement Period

Research related to measurements of electricity production was combined with parallel wastewater parameter reduction in a membrane-less microbial fuel cell (ML-MFC) fed with industry process wastewater (from a yeast factory). Electrodes with Ni–Co and Cu–B catalysts were used as cathodes. A carbon electrode (carbon cloth) was used as a reference due to its widespread use. It was demonstrated that all analyzed electrodes could be employed as cathodes in ML-MFC fed with process wastewater from yeast production. Electricity measurements during ML-MFC operations indicated that power (6.19 mW) and current density (0.38 mA·cm−2) were the highest for Ni–Co electrodes. In addition, during the exploitation of ML-MFC, it was recorded that the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal per time for all types of electrodes was similar to the duration of COD decrease in the conditions for wastewater aeration. However, the COD reduction curve for aeration took the most favorable course. The concentration of NH4+ in ML-MFC remained virtually constant throughout the measurement period, whereas NO3− levels indicated almost complete removal (with a minimum increase in the last days of cell exploitation).
