Producing and measuring of biogas from a modified single chamber microbial fuel cell-Arduino computerized system (SCMFC-ACS)

This research aims to fabricate the advanced system at low cost, single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) with Arduino computerized system for treat dyes, measuring voltage, H2, and CH4 producing from dyes aqueous solution under anaerobic digestion process, and 30 ͦC temperature. Using Porcelinite (PC) have good efficiency for adsorbing dyes (Congo Red (CR), Methyl Orange (MO), Reactive Yellow (RY), and Reactive Black (RB) at concentration 500mg\L, this may be attributed to that, PC has a higher surface area and cation exchange capacity (CEC). The maximum removal efficiency of dyes and output voltage for CR, MO, RY, and RB was obtained to be, 99.1% 1927 mV, 6.2% 1920 mV, 91.5% 1878mV, and 79.9% 1352 mV, respectively. While, The maximum concentrations of H2 and CH4 resulting from the CR, MO, RY, and RB were measured to be 97.66, 76.13, 46.34, 35.9 mg\L, and 211.74, 182.08, 100, and 60.99mg\L, respectively.
