ABSTRACT

Present day wastewater treatment plants utilize high amounts of energy and are costly to
operate. These conventional wastewater treatment plants utilize aerobic bacteria. Organic material in
wastewater contains energy that can be harvested. We propose to biologically harvest this energy in
the form of electricity from wastewater. But by using a microbial fuel cell (MFC), electricity can be
extracted from wastewater! The microbial fuel cell converts organic material to electricity using
bacteria, leaving behind clean drinking water in the process. This is an exciting prospect for people
around the world (especially in India & Third world country) who lack adequate sanitation and the
means to afford it. In addition, water treatment plants require a lot of power to treat water. Each year,
almost 25 billion dollars are spent in treating wastewater. A lot of money and resources could be saved
if the wastewater could be used as a fuel!
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) may be represents a completely new approach to waste water
treatment with production of sustainable clean energy. MFC is a device that uses bacteria to generate
electricity from the breakdown of organic substrates. Bacteria gain energy for metabolism by
transferring electrons from an electron donor, such as glucose or acetate, to an electron acceptor, such
as oxygen. The anode electrode of a MFC takes the place of the bacteria’s typical electron acceptor,
moving the electrons into a circuit, through a resistor, to the cathode electrode of the MFC, generating
electricity. Protons diffuse from the anode and join with oxygen to form water at the cathode
completing the reaction. The benefits of using microbial fuel cells for wastewater treatment include:
clean, safe, quiet performance, low emissions, high efficiency, and direct electricity recovery. We are
forwarded the MFC approach for the Food Waste with Biphasic conversion.
