Abstract

Bacterial fuel cell (BFC) is an electricity-producing device using wastewater treatment, eco-friendly and low-cost management of energy products. Bacterial fuel cell study demonstrates the electricity generation from wastewater in a single and double chamber bacterial fuel cell. In the present study electricity, generation is analyzed by varying the combination of anode and cathode electrodes. The maximum electricity of 0.6 V was generated in the copper –aluminum electrodes assembly in the double chamber. To achieve maximum efficiency impurity removal in wastewater effluent from bacterial fuel cell, filtration process has been adopted. The physico –chemical parameter reduction is observed at the end of the filtration study. The total solids removal is about 70- 80%; COD and BOD reduction is 40% and 60% respectively.
