A cylinder-shape single-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) with stainless steel electrodes was employed for removing Pb2+ from artificial wastewater containing Pb2+. With initial Pb2+ concentration of 40 mg/L and pH=4.0 under fed-batch model, the Pb2+ removal rate and efficiency were 0.53±0.06 mg/(L?h) and 96.71%±1.35%, respectively. And Pb2+ was recovered through the form of hydrocerussite. Meanwhile, in the process of Pb2+ removal, Pb2+ was reduced to elemental lead in MFC, and then was transformed to hydrocerussite in air. But the electrochemical performance of MFC showed lower level. Output voltate, power density and columbic efficiency were only 30.62±1.04 mV, 8.20±0.24 mW/m2 and 5.92%±0.21%, respectively.
