AI-generated Abstract

The study investigates the performance of single chamber mediatorless microbial fuel cells (MFCs) under various pH conditions (acidophilic, neutral, and alkaline) during the treatment of chemical wastewater. The authors evaluated the influence of these pH levels on power output, current generation, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rates. Results indicated that the MFC exhibited optimal performance at pH 6, with maximum voltage and current outputs recorded. The findings underscore the potential of using wastewater as a substrate for bioelectricity generation while also addressing wastewater treatment, highlighting the benefits of MFC technology in sustainable energy applications.
