1. 1. Comparative study of three Fe (III)-ion reducing bacteria gives insights into bioelectricity generation in the MFC technique

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Joyanto Mahato; [2020]
   Keywords : Microbial fuel cell; biocatalysts; electron transfer mechanism; gene network; domain composition;

   Abstract : Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is a renewable energy source that employs microorganisms as biocatalysts to degrade substrates into electrons and protons, and then transfer the electrons to the anode electrode. Electron transfer rates by microorganisms depend on many factors as well as on their diverse electron transfer mechanisms. READ MORE

3. 2. Analysis of metatranscriptomes from an acidophilic electricity generating community treating acidic mining wastewaters

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

   Author : Daniela Palma; [2018]
   Keywords : Acidophiles; extremophiles; MFC; metatranscriptomic; bioinformatics; electricity production; AMD.;

   Abstract : Human ́s constant need for metals requires unsustainable mining and refining of metalore. As a result, highly contaminated wastewaters are discharged in the environmentcompromising the nearby habitat together with all its life forms. READ MORE

4. 3. Microbial Fuel Cell for Waste Water Treatment

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

   Author : Fabio Cameli; [2016]
   Keywords : Microbial Fuel Cell; Water treatment; Chemical Engineering; Electrochemistry; Energy sustainable process;

   Abstract : Microbial Fuel Cell is a novel technology that can be used for a waste water treatment in order to simultaneously remove carbonaceous matter and nitrogen while producing electrical power. Even if it is not an established technology so far, MFC could be a cost effective option for waste water treatment and the major challenge of this process will be the device scale-up. READ MORE

5. 4. Exergy savings and exergy production in municipal wastewater treatment focus on thermodynamical concept and measurement devices.

   University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

   Author : Pegah Piri; [2012]
   Keywords : calorimetry; emergy; exergy; Microbial Fuel Cell;

   Abstract : This report represents an overall view on thermodynamical studies of wastewater treatment plant, concepts like exergy, emergy and entropy. In addition, there has been an introduction of calorimetry. A common unit of measurement of organic contents in wastewater treatment facilities is COD. READ MORE

6. 5. Textile wastewater treatment and electricity generation by Microbial Fuel Cell with freezing technology as pre-treatment (A No-water discharge approach).

   University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

   Author : Shuronjit Kumar Sarker; [2012]
   Keywords : COD; Color; Freezing technology; KMnO4; MFC; Power generation; Textile wastewater;

   Abstract : Textile wastewater contains very high concentration of color, COD, suspended solids and other pollutants. Methods such as reverse osmosis, nano-filtration and ultrafiltration are known to be effective to remove some pollutants but these methods are very expensive. READ MORE
