Abstract:In this work, microbial fuel cell (MFC) design of five chambers was used to investigate the effect of four types of membranes which are cation exchange membrane (CEM), Cellulose Triacetate membrane (CTA), thin film composite membrane (TFC), and proton exchange membrane (PEM). To study the influence of the membrane type on the cathode performance, the four cathode chambers were filled with 20 g/l NaCl catholyte and the sodium acetate of 1.5 g/l was supplied to the central chamber as anolyte. The results reveale… Show more
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.
