Design and testing of single-chamber air-cathode Microbial Fuel Cells Fed with Organic Residues

The study illustrates a standardized methodology to test and analyze the behavior of single-chamber air-cathode MFCs that use fennel, celery, and olive pomace as substrates. This framework, covering reactor design and building, electrode preparation, and biofilm development, aims to assure the reproducibility and flexibility in experimental activities, in order to optimize system operating conditions and, as a consequence, the performance.
