“…These values were calculated using the polarization curve to characterize current as a function of voltage (Cheng and Logan, 2011;Mohan et al, 2008). Current values were measured directly using the resistors described in the Materials and Methods section (Deepika et al, 2015). When using orange as a substrate, the system was able to generate a PD of 0.0625 ± 0.002W/cm 2 at 0.049 A/ cm 2 of CD and a maximum of 0.94 ± 0.011 V. Meanwhile, the lime substrate generated a maximum PD of 0.066 ± 0.0012 W/cm 2 at 0.047A/cm 2 of CD and a maximum voltage of 0.96 ± 0.11 V. Finally, the tangerine substrate reported 0.072 ± 0.0014 W/cm 2 at 9x10 −4 A/cm 2 of CD and a maximum voltage of 1.06 ± 0.18V.…”

This paper focuses on using lime, orange, and tangerine waste as fuel for the generation of bioelectricity. The tangerine microbial fuel cell evidenced a maximum voltage peak of 1.1 V on day 13, while displaying abrupt voltage losses on the following days and throughout the remaining period of substrate monitoring. On the other hand, orange-based fuel denotes lower current generation during these 28 days with values close to 1.6 mA and 0.25 mA on the first and last day, respectively. Still, orange generated 3.5 mA on the first day with values sharply declining in the following days until reaching 0.91 mA on the last day. In general, substrate volumes in the microbial fuel cells diminished over time, which is consistent with the voltage and current values reported. In addition, pH values increased from day 1 for all substrates, reaching acidic pH values on the last day of measurement due to the consumption of carbon sources. Tangerine reported the highest current density (CD) at 72 mW/cm2 and a maximum voltage of 1.06 volts, while orange generated a CD of 62.5 mW/cm2 and 0.94 volts.

“…These impurities might cover the surface of Zn and inhibit cathode to accept electron from anode which lead to low power density production. Copper also proved as an outstanding cathode material in other research conducted by Deepika et al, which shows highest output voltage and current compared with other five different materials of anode (Deepika et al, 2015). Surface area or electrode size is also an important parameter in determining the MFC configuration of certain system.…”

Microbial fuel Cell (MFC) has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to its capability in simultaneously reducing organic component and generating electricity. Here multicultural rumen microbes (RM) were used to reduce organic component of slaughterhouse wastewater in a self-fabricated MFC. The objectives of this study were to determine the MFC configuration and to find out its maximum capability in organic degradation and electricity generation. The experiments were conducted by employing, different types of electrode materials, electrode size, and substrate-RM ratio. Configuration of MFC with graphite-copper electrode 31.4 cm2 in size, and substrate-RM ratio 1:10 shows the best result with current density of 318 mA m-2, potential 2.4 V, and achieve maximum power density up to 700 mW m-2. In addition, self-fabricated MFC also shows its ability in reducing organic component by measuring the chemical oxygen demand (COD) up to 67.9% followed by increasing pH from 5.9 to 7.5. MFC operating at ambient condition (29oC and pH 7.5), is emphasized as green-technology for slaughterhouse wastewater treatment.
