Removal of Diclofenac Sodium from Wastewater in Microbial Fuel Cell by Anode Modified with MnCo2O4

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) with a modified anode is one of the new methods to increase MFC efficiency. This study synthesized an cobalt manganese oxide (MnCo2O4@CF) on carbon felt (CF) by easy hydrothermal method and binder-free. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) was measured without diclofenac (DCF). According SEM results, MnCo2O4 uniformly dispersed electrode surface. Moreover, maximum power density in COD (1000 mg/L), 48 h. condition DCF (726 mA/m2) 165 ± 0.012 mW/m2 concentration 20 mg/L, it 308 0.013 (992 mA/m2). In addition, presence 10 mg/L concentration, removal efficiency 82% 1.93 at 94.67% 0.02 72 After h, 41% 1.15 9.5% 0.23, respectively. using 56% 0.55, h; initial 500 mg/L. research showed that coating could lead increased growth microorganisms surface anode, decreased load transfer resistance, density, more DCF. As result, performance cells compared CF-MFC. Thus,
