If relentless exploitation and degradation of nature and its resources continue, it would not belong before we start experiencing the serious consequences of global warming and environmental deterioration. In this study, a pilot-scale AA/O-MFC reactor was constructed to treat domestic sewage in rural area of Shandong Province. The stability of the pilot-scale AA/O-MFC process was tested. Nitrogen and phosphorous removal experiment of MFC were conducted by incorporating split continuous-flow membraneless MFC into the AA/O process. The COD, ammonia nitrogen and TN removal rate of MFC is significantly better than that of AA/O system. We discovered that the average output current of the AA/O-MFC system reaches 17.8 mA with an output power density of 0.0382 W/m(3). This adds difficulties to storage and transfer of electricity produced by MFC in the actual sewage treatment process.
