“…Regarding ethylene glycol, it was found that ethylene glycol did not have a negative effect even at high concentrations (2000ppm as the only C source). Of course, we could improve the MFC performance when ethylene glycol is used at the same concentration with glucose [18]. A continuous two-stage process with synthetic kitchen food waste and adding domestic wastewater as a balanced diluent was designed which was with hydrogen and volatile fatty acid generation in the first stage and electricity generation by MFC in the second stage.…”

Today, the world is facing climate change challenges with environmental protection being a top priority. Optimizing energy consumption due to its high cost and environment protection is a basic human demand. For industries, reduction in production costs is determinative to success. In this regard, Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a unique promising technology with wastewater treatment and bioelectricity generation. The MFCs will help reduce energy consumption, curb the wastewater pollution, and standardize it for releasing into the environment. The food industry by producing high volumes of biomass with high organic pollution load are highly prone to use in MFCs as a substrate. Various food industry effluents have been tested, in real or synthetic form in the MFCs. Due to the improvements in the process and progress in novel configurations, better results have been increasingly obtained. Now, the MFC can be used in the industries individually or by integration with other technologies. In this review, the latest results from the use of food industry wastewater in MFCs along with effective process conditions are evaluated.
