Production of electricity during wastewater treatment using a single chamber microbial fuel cell.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that it is also possible to produce electricity in a MFC from domestic wastewater, while at the same time accomplishing biological wastewater treatment (removal of chemical oxygen demand; COD), which may represent a completely new approach to wastewater treatment.
