Abstract

The effect of wastewater containing MWCNTs on MFC performance was evaluated. MWCNTs addition resulted in a higher voltage/power density generation and COD/TOC removal. Low LDH release and a compact biofilm showed insignificant electricigen damage.

Key findings

  • Higher voltage and power density generation
  • Increased COD and TOC removal
  • Low LDH release and compact biofilm with insignificant electricigen damage
