Modular tubular microbial fuel cells for energy recovery during sucrose wastewater treatment at low organic loading rate 

 -  Bioresource Technology, 101(4), p.1190-1198, 2010 .
<br/><br/> Energy recovery while treating low organic loads has been investigated using longitudinal tubular microbial fuel cell (MFC)reactors. Duplicate reactors, each consisting of two modules, were operated with influent sucrose organic loading rates (OLRs)between 0.04 and 0.42 g COD/l/d. Most soluble COD (sCOD)removal occurred in the first modules with predominantly VFAs reaching the second modules. Coulombic efficiency (CE)in the second modules ranged from 9
