Abstract
The present study demonstrates the effect of MgO nanoparticles concentrations on industrial wastewater treatment and electricity generation by microbial fuel cells. The MgO nanoparticles were prepared chemically using reflex methods by mixing magnesium hydroxide with ethanol. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scan Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were done for nanoparticle characterization. (Biological oxygen demand -BOD) and (Chemical oxygen demand - COD) were used as indicators to measure the acidity of wastewater. As a result, microbial fuel cells were proposed as a treatment method for wastewater. Nanoparticles with microbial fuel cell technology will always yield positive results in industrial water treatment. The results showed that using 0.025 mg/ml MgO nanoparticles in microbial fuel cells at pH 3 increased the COD degradation to (95.001%) through 30 min, BOD to (95.05%), and power voltage to (0.76) V. Therefore, treat the wastewater via microbial fuel cells were suggested. Nanoparticles with microbial fuel cell technology will always yield positive results in industrial water treatment.
