Abstract

Key findings

  • Microbial fuel cells were able to effectively treat rubber processing industry effluent, reducing COD and BOD levels by 90% and 85% respectively.
  • The addition of graphene to the microbial fuel cell electrodes increased electricity generation by 25% compared to traditional electrodes.
  • The treated effluent was found to be safe for discharge into the environment, meeting regulatory standards.
