In this work, the objective is to produce electricity directly from
electroplating wastewater using a MFC combined with accomplishing
wastewater treatment. Therefore, several factors that
might affect the removal of chromium and electricity generation
including pH, initial Cr6+ ion concentration and different electrode
materials were investigated using synthetic wastewater in a dualchamber
MFC. Also, to demonstrate the feasibility of this novel
MFC treatment process, we examined the treatment efficiency of a
real electroplating wastewater containing Cr6+. The reduced
production of Cr6+ was analyzed by SEM and XPS.
