Abstract
Key findings
- The MFCs showed stable performance over 30 days of operation, with removal efficiencies of 80-90% for COD and 70-80% for NH3-N.
- The MFCs were able to maintain a stable power output of 10-20 mW/m², indicating a stable microbial community.
- The MFCs were able to remove 90% of the substrate within 24 hours, indicating a high rate of biodegradation.
