Abstract
Abstract The present work focused on the utilization of three local wastes i.e., rambutan ( nephelium lappaceum ), langsat ( lansium parasiticum ) and mango ( mangifera indica ) wastes as organic substrates in benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) to reduce the cadmium and lead concentrations from synthetic wastewater. Out of the three wastes, the mango waste promoted a maximum current density (87.71 mA/m 2 ) along with 78 % and 80 % removal efficiencies for Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ , respectively. The bacterial identification proved that Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter , and Citrobacter were responsible for metals removals and energy generation. Lastly, the BMFC mechanism, challenges and future recommendations are enclosed.
