The patent is titled: \u201cInnovative Application of Garden Cress (Lepidium sativum) as a Novel Biomaterial for Modification of Anode Surfaces to Boost Power Generation in Microbial Fuel Cell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This achievement forms part of Waad Mohammed Ali\u2019s doctoral research, which involved utilizing a locally and globally available natural material\u2014garden cress (Lepidium sativum)\u2014in nanoparticle form to enhance the performance of graphite electrodes used in microbial fuel cells. This modification significantly increased the electrode\u2019s efficiency in generating clean electrical energy while improving its suitability for bacterial growth. Consequently, the system&#8217;s ability to break down and remove organic pollutants from wastewater was greatly enhanced. The innovation was specifically applied to treat high-organic-load wastewater from hospitals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The results demonstrated high efficacy in both pollutant removal and renewable energy production, marking a major advancement in sustainable environmental treatment. This accomplishment broadens the scope of scientific research into the use of other natural materials to optimize microbial fuel cells for treating various types of polluted water, whether from industrial or municipal sources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This initiative supports multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, notably Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 15 (Life on Land), and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTIwdmFyJTIwdHJhbnNfcGFnZSUzRCUyMjEyMDY4OSUyMiUzQiUyMCUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_js][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Professor Dr. Zainab Ziyad Ismail from the Department of Environmental Engineering, College of Engineering, and PhD candidate Waad Mohammed &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":55010,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"yes","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-breaking-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
