Mahmood N., Ghazali N., Ibrahim K., Ali M., 2017, Anodic pH Evaluation on Performance of Power Generation from Palm Oil Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) in Dual Chambered Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC), Chemical Engineering Transactions, 56, 1795-1800.
The performance of dual chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC, Nafion 117, non-catalysed graphite electrodes) in concurrence with anodic pH microenvironment was evaluated based on bioelectricity generation from palm oil empty fruit bunch (EFB). Experiments were carried out at different anodic pH microenvironments (acidic (5), neutral (7) and alkaline (9)) using potassium permanganate catholytes with mixed consortia as anodic biocatalyst. In addition, power and microbial growth were also evaluated in order to connect the link between pH changes and MFC performance.
