Utilización de desechos municipales y lixiviados para generación de electricidad a partir de celdas microbianas
Keywords:
bacteria, microbial fuel cell, municipal waste
Abstract
This work presents a review of the characteristics of microbial fuel cells known as MFC. Such as its topology, operation, materials, and electrical parameters of interest. A focus on the use of municipal wastewater in MFC developed in the last 5 years is shown. This work focuses on the comparison of energy generation based on the combination of materials used in the reported works.
