Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been demonstrated as a challenging and promising technology towards management of various environmental problems. Bioremediation has been accepted widely as viable option utilizing the naturally inhabited microorganisms, but sometimes the severe low efficiency of the microorganisms and poor controllability limits its application. In this context, MFC technology can be used as a potential means to stimulate bioremediation for effective removal of various pollutants. The special features including energy saving, less sludge and energy production make MFCs as outstanding technology compared to conventional technologies. This article is mainly focused on application of MFCs towards removal of various environmental pollutants viz. antibiotics, synthetic dyes, phenolic compounds, nitrogen based compounds, ethyl acetate, toluene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, perchlorate, pesticide, sulphur, emerging contaminants, trace organic compounds etc. from aqueous environment. Although the current applications of MFC technology is still at laboratory level, it will definitely prove a great potential towards commercial applications in near future.

“…Billions of tons of wastes are generated daily, releasing bacteria, organic substrates, and other inorganic pollutants into the environment. The treatment costs of these wastes are very high and require special and complex procedures . Therefore, many researchers have aimed to develop new techniques that are less reliant on nonrenewable energy resources and instead, exploit waste sources themselves.…”

Graphite Sheets as High‐Performance Low‐Cost Anodes for Microbial Fuel Cells Using Real Food Wastewater

Graphite paper is introduced as efficient and low‐cost anode in an air‐cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) for simultaneous wastewater treatment and power generation using real food wastewater. Graphite paper as the cheapest investigated material provided the best electrochemical results in an MFC with an excellent open cell voltage. The significantly increased power generation could be attributed to the large surface area of the anode, leading to enhanced bacterial attachment on the graphite anode surface. Regarding wastewater treatment, the graphite anode exhibited the highest removal of organic pollutants and the highest coulombic efficiency. It shows an excellent efficiency as a bio‐anode in the air‐MFC for producing electricity and treating industrial wastewaters without requiring external mediators.

“…The microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can oxidize electron donors on anode and transfer the excess electrons through external loading to cathodes to be received by electron acceptors [Inoue et al, 2013;Chou et al, 2014;Yoshizawa et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2015;Koroglu et al, 2014]. For instance, when sulfide and oxygen are used respectively as the electron donor and acceptor, a sulfide-MFC can be established [Lee et al, 2012].…”

Ferric iron-reducing bacteria (FRB) can transfer intercellular electrons to a surrounding solid, a function also exhibited by the anode-respiring bacteria for microbial fuel cells (MFC). This study isolated from river sediment two FRB, a Gram-negative strain (Geobaccter sp. LAR-2, GenBank No. KC211015) and a Gram-positive strain (Clostridium sp. LAR-3, GenBank No. KC211016), and individually started up MFC using these two isolates as inocula at anodic compartment. The LAR-2-MFC had an open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 610 mV and maximum power density (P max ) of 860 mW m -2 . The corresponding OCV and P max of LAR-3-MFC were 630 mV and 310 mW m -2 , respectively. The resistances of electron transfer across anodic biofilms, eletrolytes and cathodes were characterized. The tests with these two FRB support the hypothesis with FRB being effectively functioned as anode-respiring bacteria for MFC.
