INTRODUCTION
What are microbial fuel cells ?
These are the type of a bio electrochemical reactor that generates electricity released during the oxidization of
reduced compounds or in simple words microbial fuel cells utilizes microbes for electricity generation by
oxidization of waste compounds present in wastewater thus breaking down the waste material
What is integrated wastewater treatment ?
Integrated wastewater treatment means a mix or concoction of various methods to treat the wastewater
Integrated treatment methods have been widely practiced by coupling two or more biological, physical, and
chemical processes to treat treatment/elimination of unwanted color, target compounds and toxicity from
wastewater or contaminated environment.

 Scarcity of clean drinking water.
 Organic waste in water giving rise to various
health issues.
 No efficient way of removal of organic waste in a
cheap manner.
 Reutilization of treated waste water by
using MFC.
 To achieve the self-reliant nation and
clean & green India goals, we need the
development of a total effluent
treatment technologies. i.e., effluent
treatment along with energy recovery.

• Setting up the cathodic and anodic chamber
for the treatment of wastewater.
• Making the electrode from the bio char.
• Checking the amount of energy generated
from the oxidation process of the
contaminants.
• Checking the purity of the wastewater that is
treated through this process.

Microbial fuel cell hybrid systems for
wastewater treatment and bioenergy
production: Synergistic effects,
mechanisms and challenges
 Electro-fenton process.
 Photochemical process.
 MFC-electrosorption /capacitive
deionization
 MFC-miocrobial electrolysis cells.
However, after two decades of intensive
research, researchers have realized that
conventional power generation applications
for MFCs face major obstacles, such as low
power densities, and high reactor
construction and operating costs,despite
impressive advances made during this period

Progress in microbial fuel cell
technology for wastewater treatment
and energy harvesting
 Modification of MFC’s based on
their components
 Single chamber MFC’s
 Dual chamber MFC’s
MFCs are recognized as an excellent choice
for simultaneous application of bioenergy
generation and wastewater treatment . The
MFC configuration plays a key role in
achieving the highest cell potential. The
effectiveness of MFC technology is
influenced by several parameters (e.g.,
temperature, pH, salinity, substrates, external
resistance).

An algal assisted constructed wetland-
microbial fuel cell integrated with sand
filter for efficient wastewater treatment
and electricity production.
 Synthetic wastewater composition.
 Inoculation ,operation and analysis.
The present study reveals that the novel
three-stage microcosm can remove COD and
other inorganic nutrient pollutants from
municipal wastewater in a continuous mode
of operation. The electroactive anode can
enhance the COD removal efficiency of the
system to eliminate up to 97.5% of the total
COD at an HRT of 5 d.

Treatment of typical antibiotics in
constructed wetlands integrated with
microbial fuel cells: Roles of plant and
circuit operation mode
 Construction of MFC-CWs from
polyethylene plastic and filling the
main matrix of cathode and anode
with granular activated carbon and
stainless steel mesh
The nitrogen removal efficiency in
MFC-CWs was mainly acceler-
ated by plants and decreased with
increasing influent antibiotic
Concentrations. the bioelectricity
generation performance of planted
MFC-CWs was superior to unplanted
systems. Overall, the results
demonstrated that the plant and circuit
operation mode of MFC-
CWs might affect the antibiotics,
COD and nitrogen removal, as
well as bioelectricity generation
performance.

CONCLUSION
• The use of microbial fuel cells have a gigantic change in the fields of waste water
treatment.
• The application of microbes for not only the treatment of the waste water but for also
the production of electricity is the new area of interest in the fields of chemical
engineering.
• The biological oxidation of the waste inside the water acts as a substrate to the micro
organisms inside the water and this oxidation process results in the release of the
electrons in an anaerobic chamber.
• The electrons produced are then transferred to the cathode, this completes the circuit
thus ends up generating current.
• The biological oxidation is a degrading phenomena that helps eliminating the
oxidisable waste present in the water.
