ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM BACILLUS SUBTILIS ISOLATED FROM AEROBIC SLUDGE USING MIRCOBIAL FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY AND ITS OPTIMIZATION
Dr. K. Vanmathiselvi* and P. Komathi
ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study is to investigate electricity generation from microbial fuel cells which treat sewage waste water treatment and bioelectricity generation. In this process the sewage waste water effluent were treated for DO, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, TS, Total alkalinity and acidity. The number of bacterial colonies was isolated. Two different chambered such as cathode and anode (negative and positive) is prepared. The maximum current generated with membrane and salt bridge MFCS was 0.73, 0.31and 0.23 volt respectively. The produced voltage and current intensity were measured using various ph range, Temperature and nutrient supplementation. In this report the
sewage sludge waste was utilized for the bioelectricity production by Bacillus subtilis.
Keywords: Sewage sample, Bacillus subtilis, Microbial fuel cells and electricity generation.
