dc.description.abstractAn alternative answer to the vital issues of electricity production and wastewater treatment leads to the application of microbial fuel cells. This study has developed a low-cost double-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC) for electricity generation, which can also be used for simultaneous wastewater treatment. These fuel cells were constructed using cheap Mfensi clay as an ion-exchange-partition and compared two types of electrode combination that work at temperatures between 25 oC and 27 oC. The performance of the cell assemblage was affected by the type of electrodes used. Experimental results showed maximum power densities of 118 mW/m2 and 79 mW/m2 respectively for the pot-zinc/ copper pair of electrodes and pot-graphite/graphite pair of electrodes.
