Abstract
Electricity generation in a duel chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) consisting of graphite anode electrode, platinum cathode electrode and Nafion 117 membrane was investigated. Anaerobic sludge was used as the source of microorganisms in the anode chamber. Acetic acid as the sole carbon source along with other nutrients was added to the anode chamber in a batch or repeated-batch modes. System curves and polarization curves were obtained in different operational conditions and the internal resistance of the system was calculated. Electricity generation by MFC in both batch and repeated-batch modes was modeled using a biofilm based hypothesis and the results were compared with experimental data.
