Abstract
The aim of the present study is to investigate electricity generation
from microbial fuel cells which treat sewage waste water treatment and
bioelectricity generation. In this process the sewage waste water
effluent were treated for DO, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, TS, Total
alkalinity and acidity. The number of bacterial colonies was isolated.
Two different chambered such as cathode and anode (negative and
positive) is prepared. The maximum current generated with membrane
and salt bridge MFCS was 0.79, 0.35and 0.30 volt respectively. The
produced voltage and current intensity were measured using various ph
range, Temperature and nutrient supplementation. In this report the
sewage sludge waste was utilized for the bioelectricity production by
Bacillus firmus.
Keywords: Sewage sample, Bacillus firmus, Microbial fuel cells and electricity generation.
