Renewable energy will have an important role as a resource of energy in the future. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a promising method to obtain electricity from organic matter andwastewater treatment simultaneously. In a pilot study, use of microbial fuel cell for wastewater treatment and electricity generation investigated. The bacteria of ruminant used as inoculums. Synthetic wastewater used at different organic loading rate. Hydraulic retention time was aneffective factor in removal of soluble COD and more than 49% removed. Optimized HRT to achieve the maximum removal efficiency and sustainable operation could be regarded 1.5 and 2.5 hours. Columbic efficiency (CE) affected by organic loading rate (OLR) and by increasing OLR, CE reduced from 71% to 8%. Maximum voltage was 700mV. Since the microbial fuel cell reactor considered as an anaerobic process, it may be an appropriate alternative for wastewater treatment

Anode Electrode

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) provides the generation of electricity as bacteria on anode electrode oxidize organic content present in wastewater. This study presents simultaneously the electricity generation from two different synthetic wastewater mixtures using a new electrode in both anode and cathode compartments. Results showed that power output increased excessively in the case of Ti-TiO2 electrode. MFC reactors were mainly dominated by Geobacter, Shewanella, Pseudomonas and Clostridium species. The molecular results also demonstrated that Ti-TiO2 electrode is biocompatibility and able to be used in MFC because these species are electricity producing bacteria.
