Experimental dataset on the effect of electron acceptors in energy generation from brewery wastewater via a microbial fuel cell

This research data set contains data related to experimental dataset on the effect of the electron acceptors in energy generation from brewery wastewater via a microbial fuel cell. The presented data gives information on the generation of electricity and waste minimization as various electron acceptors adopted in microbial fuel cells. Dual-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) system was assembled with aluminium mesh electrode as an anode and sulfonated tetrafluoroethylene membrane for proton exchange as a cathode at 500–2000 mg/L chemical oxygen demand (COD). A 0.4 and 0.6 M of Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and potassium cyanide K3[Fe(CN)6 were used anaerobically as a mediator for electron acceptor in the cathode chamber. Furher more, The pH, COD, total nitrogen, biochemical oxygen demand, total phosphorous, total suspended solid and electrical conductivity for the raw brewery wastewater were measured. Inaddition, the voltage generated and the current density have been obtained for both (KMnO4) and K3[Fe(CN)6 electron acceptors. Moreover, the COD removal efficiency, Columbic efficiency, voltage generation, current, and power density were measured.
