Abstract
The growth of textile industry is high due to the ever-increasing usage of the textile products. The textile processing includes various stages involving the use of numerous chemicals. The textile industry produces wastes in the form of wastewater effluent. The wastewater effluent contains solvents which are mostly organic along with used oils and coloring agents. In addition, solid wastes like fabrics soaked with oil and grease are also produced. These wastes from textile industry are toxic and hazardous to the environment. In order to reduce the harmful impact of textile waste and to create a safe environment, these wastes are to be utilized in sustainable applications. One such exploitation is the generation of electricity from the waste of textile industry. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) may be employed to convert chemical energy in the effluents to electrical energy through the oxidation of chemicals. MFCs use microorganisms to oxidize the chemicals to produce electricity.
