Bioelectromics of a photosynthetic microalgae assisted microbial fuel cell for wastewater treatment and value added production.

ABSTRACT: Power generation and recovery of value-added products using microalgae, Haematococcus lacustris is tested in a dual chamber photosynthetic microalgae-assisted microbial fuel cell (PMA-MFCt₁). The microalgal cells in conical flask act as control. The performance was compared to another, test PMA-MFCt₂. The control MFC in second test had electrode wires not connected (PMA-MFC_nw). The PMA-MFCt₁ set had microalgal catholytic media replenished unlike in PMA-MFCt₂. A comparative PMA₀-MFC, was used without microalgae and only water as catholyte. The results demonstrated maximum power density (PDmax) of 33.76 mW m^-2 in PMA-MFCt₁, 15.36 mW m^-2 in PMA-MFCt₂ and 8.05 mW m^-2 in PMA<
