Constructed Wetland-Microbial Fuel Cells (CW-MFCs)

Abstract

By 2025, two-thirds of the world's population may be facing water shortages, according to the World Wildlife Federation. By 2030, water demand is forecast to increase by 40%. Over 1.2 billion are basically living in areas of physical water scarcity. And almost 1.6 billion face economic water shortage. And as our population continues to grow, there's just going to be more problems. So, we are in extreme need of that creation which can treat used water and can also provide us electricity so that we can use that water for irrigation purposes, toilet flush, and industrial purposes. In recent years the research work reported about an innovative constructed wetland microbial fuel cell (CW-MFCs) for more deduction of pollutants and instantaneous bioelectricity generation. A microbial fuel cell joined with constructed wetland (CW-MFC) is a novel device to treat the wastewater and create power that has more volume for wastewater treatment, is easy to repair, environmentally friendly, requires less space, and is also most cost-efficient than other devices.
