摘要：
Performance of 45 L pilot scale microbial fuel cell (MFC) made from glass fiber-reinforced plastic and ceramic-separators (CS) with multiple electrode assembly was evaluated. Study on effect of external resistance (R-ext) varying from 100 to 3 Omega revealed that maximum power (P-max) of 14.28 mW (37.8 mA current) with chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of 84 +/- 5.1% was observed at R-ext of 10 Omega. While evaluating influence of organic loading rate (OLR) from 0.75 to 8 g COD L-1 d(-1), the MFC showed P-max of 17.63 mW (42 mA current) and COD removal of 69 +/- 5.1% at OLR of 4.5 g COD L-1 d(-1). Internal resistance (R-int) of 12.4 Omega observed is among the least value reported in literature for larger MFCs. Simplicity in design, ease of fabrication, lower R-int, longevity and low cost CS, which can withstand more hydraulic pressure than polymeric membranes, are the advantages that this MFC offers to make it suitable for field applications.
