Urine as a suitable fuel for microbial fuel cells

Ieropoulos, Ioannis A.; Greenman, John; Melhuish, Chris

Abstract

MFCs show promise in utilising a wide variety of organic sources. This paper describes the utilisation of neat urine as the main feedstock, with conversion efficiencies of >50%. Power densities of 4.93mW/m2 were recorded when 48 small-scale MFCs were connected as a stack and fed with urine.
