Applicability of Single Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell for the Electricity Generation Using Waste Water obtained from Biscuit Factory and Potato Processing Factory

The application of Single chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) for electricity generation has been developing recently. In recent years, researchers have shown that MFC can be used to produce electricity from water containing glucose, acetate or lactate. This research explores the application of MFC in generating electricity using different waste water samples from Jabalpur. In order to obtain the aim of this research, a system of MFC with microbes has been used. Based on the results of different waste water samples, it can be reported that the maximum voltage generated for all four substrate is 357mV at day five by vermicompost. The potential difference generated by the MFC was measured using multimeter.
