Abstract

Key findings

  • The microbial fuel cell demonstrated enhanced boron removal rates, with a maximum removal efficiency of 95%.
  • The electricity generated by the microbial fuel cell was sufficient to power a small device, indicating the potential for self-sustaining systems.
  • The study suggests that microbial fuel cells can be a viable alternative for boron removal in wastewater treatment.
