| Abstract |
This study was aimed at exploring biodegradation of toxic organic contaminants in wastewater by MFC technology. Toxic organic contaminants: “BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene)”, chloroform and chlorobenzene with concentration from 12.5 ppm to 50 ppm were used as the sole carbon sources in MFCs. Removal efficiencies and electrochemical properties were evaluated in order to explore the feasibility and efficiency of biodegrading toxic organic contaminants and generating electricity simultaneously. Maximum cell voltage of 0.21 V was obtained while using chlorobenzene as sole carbon source. Maximum removal efficiency of 100 % was obtained while benzene was used as a sole carbon source, and maximum power density of 115 mW m-2, 84 mW m-2, 94 mW m-2, 89 mW m-2, 107 mW m-2, and 68 mW m-2 were obtained using ‘BTEX”, chloroform and chlorobenzene as the sole carbon sources, respectively. |
