Abstract

Key findings

  • The MFC with vermicompost and E. coli showed a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², a 30% increase from the control group.
  • The addition of E. coli significantly enhanced the substrate utilization rate, with a 25% increase in COD removal.
  • The study demonstrated the potential of MFCs to treat distillery wastewater, with a 90% reduction in COD and a 95% reduction in BOD.
