Urinal Microbial Fuel Cell: Electricity Generation — An Eco friendly Approach

Our body's major excretory waste is Urine. It causes various water borne diseases and foul odor besides urine serves as a source of electrolytes and can be profitably utilized in microbial fuel cells (MFCs)as anolyte. MFCs are the bio-electrochemical system that converts chemical energy of urine (organic matter) into electrical energy by using various catalytic actives of microorganisms. This present project publishes a novel of electronic urinal by combining a continuous flow microbial fuel cell with urinal. It will be an efficient power source for the decentralized areas and tested under laboratory controls.
