Abstract

Key findings

  • The MFC showed a stable performance over 100 days of operation.
  • The power density of the MFC was significantly higher than that of a control group without bacteria.
  • The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand was improved by 20% with the addition of bacteria.
