Microbial fuel cell - A self-powered wastewater electrolyser for electrocoagulation (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Gajda, I., Stinchcombe, A., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., & Ieropoulos, I. (2015, December). Microbial fuel cell - A self-powered wastewater electrolyser for electrocoagulation. Presented at EFC15 European Fuel Cell Technology & Applications - Piero Lunghi Conference, Naples, Italy

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 electroly... Read More about Microbial fuel cell - A self-powered wastewater electrolyser for electrocoagulation.

Electro-osmotic-based catholyte production by Microbial Fuel Cells for carbon capture (2015)
Journal Article
