Figure 3

Removal of 2-furfural and acetate from an aqueous stream with concentrations up to 2 g/l and 10 g/l, respectively, demonstrates tolerance of the MFC consortia to high concentrations of inhibitors. The power density of the MFC remains constant above a threshold inhibitor loading since the power output is limited by the air cathode, vs the substrate concentration on the anode side.
