Optimization of concentration of Glucose in Microbial Fuel Cell for Maximum Electricity Production

Abstract: Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is pollution free, electricity generation device; it represents a new method for eco- friendly source of electricity generation. When we produce electricity by Microbial fuel cell from food factory waste water we obtained pure water as a byproduct. Microbial fuel cells are devices that can use bacterial metabolism to produce an electrical current from wide range organic substrates. This paper explores the application of MFC in generating electricity using waste water from different food factories Jabalpur. In order to obtain the aim of this paper, a system of MFC with microbe with starch and glucose digestive bacteria has been used. This bacteria is not harmful for living organism as well as environment. As parameter, it was evaluated the electricity produced during MFC operation on variation at different concentration of glucose substance.
