A Combined Microbial Fuel Cell and Adsorption System for Bio-energy Production and Wastewater Treatment

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are electrochemical conversion devices, which are able to accomplish simultaneous electricity generation and wastewater treatment. Integrating MFC with other unit operations or processes has been a trend in recent years for better pollutants removal and greater bio-ener...
