“…Apart from the above mentioned waste streams, various food industry based wastewaters such as, food waste leachate (Rikame et al, 2012;, Canteen based food waste (Goud and Venkata Mohan, 2011;Goud et al, 2011;Jia et al, 2013), yogurt waste, wine Lees, fermented apple juice (Cercado-Quezada et al, 2010), Cereal processing wastewater , Chocolate industry wastewater (Patil et al, 2009), etc., have been investigated as substrates for MFCs. However, the power output and treatment efficiency is dependent on the nature and composition of wastewater as well the organic load.…”

“…[72] Among different substrates, wastewater is a sustainable rich medium which can be treated by MFCs. There are several reports on electricity generation directly from complex organic wastewater such as municipal, [77] swine wastewater, [78] dairy wastewater, [79,80] slaughterhouse wastewater, [81] rice mill wastewater, [82] tannery wastewater, [58] cassava mill wastewater, [83] molasses wastewater, [84] refinery wastewater, [85] brewery wastewater, [86] winery wastewater, [87] chemical wastewater, [88][89][90] sulphide-rich wastewater, [91] landfill leachate, [92][93][94][95][96] food waste leachate, [97] azo dye, [98,99] and solid substrates such as rice straw. [100] MFCs also can be used for simultaneous removal of sulphide and nitrate from synthetic wastewater [101] and sulphate-sulphiderich wastewaters.…”

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a novel technology that can be used for electricity generation during oxidization of the organic substances presented in the substrate. To obtain a desirable performance, it is essential to understand the influential factors on the MFC. Among the numerous factors affecting the MFC performance, substrate, microorganisms and their metabolism, electron transfer mechanism in an anodic chamber, electrodes material and the shape of electrodes, type of membrane, operating conditions such as temperature, pH and salinity, electron acceptor in a cathodic chamber and geometric design of the MFC are considered as the most important factors. Among different substrates, wastewater is a sustainable rich medium which can be treated by MFCs. There are various types of exoelectrogenic bacteria presented in wastewaters which can oxidize organic matter and transfer electrons to the anode without using mediators. Like other microbial systems, optimum pH and temperature enhance the bacterial growth which can improve the MFC performance. Despite the negative effect of salt on microbial growth, higher salinity and ionic strength can increase the conductivity of substrate and therefore enhance MFC performance. Scaling up MFC is a controversial issue which needs a comprehensive understanding of these factors. By using new inexpensive materials for electrodes and membrane for manufacturing MFCs, a more cost-effective design for scalable wastewater treatment and high power generation can be achieved. Furthermore, MFC is a suitable candidate for bioremediation of contaminated groundwater. These factors and their impact on the MFC performance have been reviewed in the present survey.

“…These studies also demonstrate that employing anaerobic fermentation as a waste pretreatment strategy for using high strength wastes is feasible. Similarly, higher power densities were reported by researchers who integrated fermentation of food wastes with MFC (Li et al, 2013;Rikame et al, 2012).…”
