Abstract
Microbial fuel cell ( MFC ) represents a new method for electricity gene ration . Microbial fuel cells are devices that can use bacterial metabolism to produce an electrical current from a wide range organic substrat es. This research explores the application of Double chamber MFC in generating electricity using different waste water mixed with slurry from Jabalpur . In order to obtain the aim of this research, a system of MFC with microbes has been used. Based on the result of different types of waste water samples with slurry, it found that the maximum voltage generated among all the three combinations is 434 mV at day five by waste water of bread factory mixed with slurry. The potential difference generated by the MFC was measured using multimeter
