A review of the operating parameters on the microbial fuel cell for wastewater treatment and electricity generation

Environmental and economic considerations suggest a more efficient and comprehensive use of biomass for bioenergy production. One of the most attractive technologies is the microbial fuel cell using the catabolic activity of microorganisms to generate electricity from organic matter. The microbial f...
