Developing a Sustainable Energy Strategy-MFC in Wastewater Treatment
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is introduced as a method of wastewater treatment as well as electricity generation in this paper. Three different generations (Gen-Ⅰ, -Ⅱ and -Ⅲ) of microbial fuel cells (MFC), distinguished by their historical development and mechanisms of electron transfer, are compared. Previous work has concentrated on improving MFC efficiency as well as treating artificial wastewater, and has not emphasized long-term full operation in domestic wastewater treatment, along with an essential requirement for adoption in space waste. The present paper attempts to discuss the applicability and optimal conditions of current MFC technology for wastewater treatment, and enumerate many of the existing shortcomings, while suggesting possible ways ahead.
