Abstract
Dye wastewater causes a major problem while discharging into the environment due to the presence of various toxic content. In this study, dye wastewater is treated using dual chamber MFC with the generation of electricity. The power generation and pollutant removal efficiency in the dye wastewater treatment using dual chamber MFC was examined at different HRT, which varied from 35 - 7 days. The maximum TCOD and SCOD removal of 66.10% and 57.94 % respectively were attained at the HRT of 35 days. In 20 days HRT, the maximum power density of 96.85mWm-2 and coulombic efficiency of 60.54% was procured.
