| Abstract |
A new type of microbial fuel cell (MFC) with anaebic membrane filter was designed to produce bioelectricity and to treat domestic sewage at relatively high organic loading rate (OLR) of 6.25kgCOD/m³/day and short hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1.9h. A following aeration system was applied to ensure effluent water quality in continuous operation. Glucose was supplemented to increase the influent concentration of domestic sewage. Influent substrate of 95% was removed via the MFC and following aeration system and the corresponding maximum power density was 25.6mW/ m³. External resistor of 200Ω and air-cathode system contributed better MFC performance comparing to 2000Ω and dissolved oxygen as a catholyte. |
