Abstract
In this paper, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, zinc chloride, ammonia and melamine are used as cheaper activators to modify the carbon felt material, exploring the changes of various activation materials on the power production performance and degradation performance of the device after MFC carbon felt anode treatment, and finding that phosphoric acid-activated carbon felt has the highest output voltage and the best degradation effect on the ship's oily wastewater as a MFC anode device.
Key findings
- Phosphoric acid-activated carbon felt anodes produced the highest output voltage
- Phosphoric acid-activated carbon felt anodes had the best degradation effect on oily wastewater
- Other activators (nitric acid, zinc chloride, ammonia, and melamine) did not outperform phosphoric acid
