Abstract Soil Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are devices that can generate electricity by using
the flooded soil's anode respiring microbial consortium. When the MFC starts to work, the …

Mining wastewater (MWw) in tailing ponds is one of the major obstacles in reusing tailings in
practice and should be disposed preferentially. This paper investigated the feasibility of …
