Improved electricity production and nitrogen enrichment during the treatment of black water using manganese ore-modified anodes

The decline of fossil fuel availability is calling for alternative energy such as electricity produced by degradation waste in microbial cells. performance cells controlled the anode because microorganisms grow and attach on anode. Here, we prepared carbon felt electrodes modified with manganese ore based hypothesis that silicon oxides would improve cell to treat simulated black water. We compared properties ore-modified classical magnetic ferroferric oxide. also studied removal chemical oxygen demand enrichment ammonia nitrogen. Results show maximum voltage electrode 1.7 times higher than oxide-modified electrode. start-up time reach reduced 68%. reached 91.2%. Up 68.0% nitrogen can be enriched at cathode, implying highly effluent. Overall, showed excellent redox performance, corrosion resistance low electron transfer resistance.
