Abstract

Key findings

  • MFCs achieved high COD removal efficiency (85%) and power generation (0.45 W/m²) in the anaerobic phase.
  • RBCs showed improved COD removal (95%) and nutrient removal in the aerobic phase.
  • The combined MFC-RBC system demonstrated a synergistic effect, achieving a total COD removal of 98% and nutrient removal.
