ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
Due to the constant growth of the human population on Earth and growingly ambitious social and economic goals, the sustainability of natural resources is of increasing concern. Among other things, urbanization in developing countries creates pressure on water resources, where increased demand affects their availability and promotes the reuse of wastewater. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are one of the ways to reuse wastewater and have shown great potential as a single solution to three key problems facing the world today: energy security, global warming, and wastewater management. MFCs represent a multidisciplinary platform for research that includes knowledge of biochemistry and engineering sciences. A microbial fuel cell uses microorganisms to oxidize organic materials to produce electricity. This process releases electrons that are transferred to the anode and then travel to the cathode, where they combine with a reducing agent (most often oxygen) to produce water. This study aims to evaluate the performance of MFCs with carbon fibre electrodes, specifically focusing on the application of carbon fibers in the electrochemical degradation of Acid Yellow 99 dye (AY99).
