Re-use of carbon rods from used batteries as cathode for textile azo dye degradation in a microbial fuel cell

Abstract: a b s t r a c tMicrobial fuel cell (MFC) has been used to treat various types of organic effluents using microbes as biocatalysts, producing electrical energy. The electrodes play a significant role in the MFC bioelectrochemical processes. The present study reports the use of carbon rods from used batteries as cathode material for textile dye degradation and decolorization. The concept of using carbon rods from used zinc carbon cell is novel and a green process of waste recycling in a MFC. Real textile dye eff… Show more

“…In terms of mechanical strength, chemical stability, electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility, the material must be suitable. Consequently, various WE materials have been tested in the BESs for textile effluent treatment, and the most adopted are carbon-based materials such as carbon cloth [19], carbon fiber brushes [20], carbon felt [21], carbon paper [22], carbon rod [23], graphite [24,25], and granular activated carbon [26]. However, the influence of the electrode surface on the bioelectrochemical treatment of azo dyes has not yet been well investigated.…”
