Abstract

Key findings

  • Microbial fuel cells can effectively remove nitrogen from landfill leachate, achieving removal rates of up to 90%.
  • The power generation capacity of microbial fuel cells using landfill leachate as the feedstock was found to be around 100-150 mW/m².
  • The study highlights the feasibility of using microbial fuel cell technology for simultaneous power generation and wastewater treatment.
