Role of macrophyte and effect of supplementary aeration in up-flow constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell for simultaneous wastewater treatment and energy recovery
Simultaneous organic matter, nutrient removal and bioenergy recovery by UFCW-MFC. Supplementary aeration contributed to oxygenation of the wetland matrix. Aerated UFCW-MFC out-performed control reactor in bioelectricity generation. Macrophyte enhanced nitrification and bioelectricity generation. Oxygen as terminal electron acceptor for bioelectricity generation.
