Abstract

Key findings

  • The optimized MFC design increased power density by 25% compared to the control group.
  • The addition of a granular activated carbon electrode improved the MFC's ability to remove COD and ammonia from wastewater.
  • The optimized MFC was able to produce electricity while simultaneously treating domestic wastewater, with a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m².
