Optimization of microbial fuel cell performance application to high sulfide industrial wastewater treatment by modulating microbial function
In this study, the objective was to investigate the key factors influencing the optimal performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in treating wastewater with high sulfide concentrations, specifically focusing on wastewater from the processed canned pineapple industry. The research involved conducting experiments using different hydraulic retention times, namely a 2-day (M1) and 4-day (M2) retention period, to evaluate the effects of varying seasonal production levels, characterized as low (L) and high (H). By examining these parameters, the study aimed to gain a comprehensive understanding of how MFC performance can be optimized for the treatment of sulfide-rich wastewater in the canned pineapple industry.
