Potential Application of Room Temperature Synthesized MIL-100(Fe) in Enhancing Methane Production in Microbial Electrolysis Cells-Anaerobic Digestion Treating Protein-Rich Wastewater.

ABSTRACT: Microbial electrolysis cell-anaerobic digestion (MEC-AD) is an emerging technology for methane production. However, low substrate degradation efficiency remains a challenge when processing protein substrates. This study developed a MIL-100(Fe) carbon cloth anode to enhance methane production and substrate degradation in MEC-AD. The effects of MIL-100(Fe) prepared under hydrothermal (H-MIL-100(Fe)) and room temperature conditions (R-MIL-100(Fe)) were compared. Results indicated that H-MIL-100(Fe) and R-MIL-100(Fe) increased cumulative methane production by 16.01% and 14.99%, respectively compared to normal cloth, each influencing methane production through distinct mechanisms. Electrochemical characterization showed that H-MIL-100(Fe) enhanced the electrochemical performance more significan
