Comprehensive Review and Compilation of Treatment for Azo Dyes Using Microbial Fuel Cells

Abstract: Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent an emerging technology that focuses on power generation and effluent treatment. This review compiles articles related to MFCs using azo dye as the substrate. The significance of the general components in MFCs and systems of MFCs treating azo dye is depicted in this review. In addition, degradation of azo dyes such as Congo red, methyl orange, active brilliant red X-3B, amaranth, reactive blue 221, and acid orange 7 in MFCs are summarized. Further exploration and operationa… Show more

“…Capital costs for biological wastewater treatment processes are 5-20 times less compared to advanced oxidation methods and the running costs are 3-10 times less. In order to reduce cost of treatment, the simultaneous degradation of dye wastewater and generation of electricity using MFCs has achieved considerable attention as an economical and environmentally friendly technique [2][3][4][5][6]. MFCs are bio-electrochemical devices that use microbes as catalysts to produce electricity by oxidizing organic and inorganic compounds in biomass.…”

“…These effluents have 80-6000 mg/L of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and 150-12,000 mg/L of chemical oxygen demand (COD) [4]. Due to their chemical background and sophisticated, robust architecture, the dyes resist conventional sewage remediation techniques [5].…”

“…The most important features of the electrode are good biocompatibility, conduction, chemical stability, and e cient electron transfer between the bacterial and the electrode surface. A Membrane is a physical separator between the anolyte and catholyte, transferring developed protons in the anode to the cathode (Murali et al 2013).…”
