Evaluating hexavalent chromium reduction and electricity production in microbial fuel cells with alkaline cathodes

The work investigated the efficiency of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for the treatment of alkaline hexavalent chromium containing wastewater. When lactate was used as the metal chelator in alkaline (pH 8) abiotic cathodes, hexavalent chromium concentration dropped from 10 mg l?1 to undetectable level...
