Microbial fuel cells (MFC) is a technology that generates electrical energy using organic matter as fuel, becoming a new way of generating electricity that is friendly to the environment. In this research work, MFCs were used with lead and copper electrodes, and as fuel the wastes from Aguaymanto, Camu-camu, Cocona, Granadilla, Tomato and Tuna. The MFCs were monitored for 22 days the voltage, current and pH parameters; as well as current density (CD) and power density (PD) values. The MFC with cocona substrate generated greater voltage during the entire monitoring period, from 0.52 to 0.36 V. While the camu-camu generated a greater current of 6.1 to 5.6 mA, from the first to the last day. All cells show slightly acidic pH, in the same way that volume losses were also observed, being the MFC with granadilla the one that showed greater loss. MFCs with substrates of camucamu, aguaymanto, cocona, tomato, granadilla and prickly pear showed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
