Lead acetate (Pb2+) is a highly poisonous compound causing permanent developmental disorders and organ failure. The goal of this project is to design and build a self-sustaining and cost-effective lead chemical decomposer, known as an "electrolyser" using bioelectricity generated from a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Electrons produced during microbial metabolism will be harnessed and channelled through a contaminated chamber of the cell, thus reducing the compound to a less toxic state - Pb metal.
