Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed a microbial fuel cell (MFC), a bio-electrochemical device that can generate \u201cgreen energy\u201d by treating wastewater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The researchers said the device offered a dual benefit \u2014 generation of bioelectricity and waste management \u2014 by converting chemical energy contained in organic substrates into electrical energy through microbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Department of Science and Technology supported the research led by Mihir Kumar Purkait and his Ph.D student Mukesh Sharma of IIT Guwahati\u2019s Department of Chemical Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IIT Guwahati claimed the device could be used for obtaining clean energy from municipal wastewater economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
