Implementación de una celda de combustible microbiano a partir de agua residual doméstica.
Abstract
In the current investigation we pretend to evaluate the electrical energy generated by degradation processes of organic matter through the implementation of a microbial fuel cell on a pilot scale or laboratory, whose functionality is based on the conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy, from degradation processes of organic matter carried out by microorganisms present in the waste water. The experimental system assembly consists of two chambers, an anaerobic and another which is aerobic, separated by a proton exchange membrane. The electrodes used in the microbial fuel cell were determined after various tests that helped to identify the highest efficiency according to the voltage obtained, because of this, it was possible to establish the use of copper electrodes, with which is recorded the highest potential difference with a voltage of 1.44 V.
