Microbial fuel cells The theory design construction and operation of microbial fuel cellsMicrobial fuel cells (MFCs) devices in which bacteria create electrical power by oxidizing simple compounds such as glucose or complex organic matter in wastewater represent a new and promising approach for generating power. Not only do MFCs clean wastewater but they also convert organics in these wastewaters into usable energy. Given the worlds limited supply of fossil fuels and fossil fuels impact on climate change MFC technologys ability to create renewable carbon neutral energy has generated tremendous interest Dedicated entirely to microbial fuel cells a method of efficient energy production. This title serves as an introduction to MFC theory in a variety of industries as well as a manual for research and maintenance
