CBSE Science Fair Exhibition Project, “ Microbial Fuel Cell” Theme “Energy Resource & Conservation” for Class 9, Class 10 and 12

Project Name : Microbial Fuel Cell

 

Theme Name : Energy Resource & Conservation

 

 

In order to reduce pollution, we need to develop alternate and renewable sources of energy. A microbial fuel cell is a bio electro chemical device which converts waste water into electricity. As part of its digestive process, bacteria create electrons in an anaerobic environment. This is due to a REDOX reaction. The electrons are pulled out of the solution onto an electrode and are conducted through an external circuit due to existence of a potential difference between the two chambers. The PEM and salt bridge separate anode and cathode yet completing the circuit hence generating electricity.

Advantages:

1. Ideal in Indian scenario.

2. No pollution.

3. Use of waste water as a fuel.

4. Almost zero cost requiring low maintenance.

5. Constant increment in voltage due to bacterial reproduction.
