@conference { , title = {Microbial fuel cell - A self-powered wastewater electrolyser for electrocoagulation}, abstract = {This abstract describes the suitability of the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) for generation of electrical power with a simultaneous synthesis of active catholyte in the form of caustic solution. The active solution was a product of self-powered electrolysis inside a MFC reactor, utilizing wastewater with a sodium acetate as a carbon source. Catholyte solution that has been actively synthesized was harvested and used for precipitation of heavy metals showing its suitability for use in electro-coagulation (electro-flocculation).}, conference = {EFC15 European Fuel Cell Technology \& Applications - Piero Lunghi Conference}, isbn = {9788882863241}, pages = {113-114}, publicationstatus = {Unpublished}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/801902}, keyword = {Bristol Bio-Energy Centre, Bristol Robotics Laboratory, microbial fuel cell, electrolysis, electro-flocculation, metal recovery}, year = {2015}, author = {Gajda, Iwona and Stinchcombe, Andrew and Greenman, John and Melhuish, Chris and Ieropoulos, Ioannis} editor = {Cigolotti, Viviana and Barchies, Chiara and Chianella, Michela} }
