Bioremediation Of Benzene And Its Derivatives Producing Renewable Energy Through Benthic Microbial Fuel Cells

Anthropogenic activities are largely responsible for the vast amounts of pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, cyanides, phenols, metal derivatives, sulphides, and other chemicals in wastewater through the source petrochemical and chemical industries. The excess benzene, toluene and x...
