Designing and Optimization of Microbial Fuel Cell for the production of Bioelectricity

MFC technology is a new type of technology which generates electricity from organic waste with the help of microorganisms by using their metabolic activities. It has now become a promising and efficient technology that converts waste to energy. The present study demonstrates the production of bioelectricity from vegetable waste. Double chambered microbial fuel cell was constructed which was connected with the salt bridge. Bacillus megaterium was used in the MFC which proved to be an efficient microbe for the production of bioelectricity. The maximum power generated was 50Mw using 1% CMC.
