Abstract:The water polluted with toluene could be treated using a membrane less single chamber benthic microbial fuel cells (SBMFCs) by using sugar cane waste as a substrate producing energy. Toluene oxidizes into intermediate benzoic acid and completely converts into non-toxic carbon dioxide. The BMFC generated a voltage of 0.530 V between 40 and 80 days when the external resistance was 1 kΩ. The highest power density and current density generated about 34.7 mW/m 2 and 120 mA/m 2 within 41 days. Furthermore, toluene r… 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.
