Constructed wetland coupled microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) encompasses both aerobic and anaerobic zones to produce electrical energy while facilitating the oxidative breakdown of pollutants. In this study, we ascertained the effective setup of CW-MFC in order to assess the pollutant removal efficiency and electricity generation. The CW-MFC system was initially filled with textile wastewater. Stainless steel mesh with granular activated carbon as the anode and graphite rods as the cathode were used. Soil and gravel were used as substrates and Canna indica as macrophyte. Over the course of 4 weeks, regular assessments were conducted every 3rd day to monitor the alternations in the wastewater properties. Throughout the treatment phase, the planted CW-MFC system achieved a significant reduction in phosphate, nitrate, BOD, COD, and chloride as compared to the unplanted CW-MFC system. From this study, the results also show that planted CW-MFC produce maximum peak voltage (0.112V) and current (1.12 mA) in comparison to CW-MFC without plants. Consequently, the finding suggests that Canna indica possesses the capacity to treat textile wastewater.
