Abstract
Key findings
- The MFC was able to produce a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², with a voltage of 0.45 V and a current of 2.67 mA.
- The use of cheese whey wastewater as the fuel source resulted in a significant reduction in COD (chemical oxygen demand) and BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) levels.
- The MFC system showed a high efficiency in electricity production, with a power generation rate of 0.45 W/m².
