Abstract

Key findings

  • The MFC showed stable performance over 200 days with a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m².
  • The removal of contaminants from sewage was enhanced by intermittent aeration, with a removal efficiency of 80% for COD and 90% for ammonia.
  • The MFC was able to provide a stable power supply to a small-scale water treatment system, demonstrating its potential for practical applications.
