Single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) using domestic wastewater (DWW) and milk processingwastewater (MWW) were operated at different organic loading rates (OLRs). The maximum power density(PDmax) and OLR (readily biodegradable COD [RBCOD] and soluble COD [SCOD]) followed theLineweaver?Burk equation in all influents. The coefficients of determination were 0.9209 and 0.9975for SCOD and RBCOD, respectively. OLR based on RBCOD showed better power generation function thanthat based on SCOD. PDmax (2.9?12.2 W/m3) in DWW was lower than that (6.9?24.9 W/m3) in MWW butthe net energy recovery (kWh/kg-SCODremoved) in DWW (0.542?1.108) was larger than that in MWW(0.322?0.602). This was attributed to the higher ratio of RBCOD/SCOD (0.44) and the lower values ofRBCOD (40 mg/L) in DWW, compared to RBOCD/SCOD (0.11) and RBCOD (110 mg/L) in MWW.Therefore, RBCOD is an important indicator for estimating power generation. |
