Abstract

Key findings

  • The MFC achieved a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², with a columbic efficiency of 12.5%.
  • The use of the PVA-Nafion-Borosilicate membrane improved the MFC's performance compared to a control MFC without the membrane.
  • The MFC was able to remove 90% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) from the distillery wastewater.
