I am using two electrodes (Cathode: modified carbon electrode and Anode: Aluminum) dipped in highly contaminated wastewater and externally connected with copper wire. The output voltage and current were observed as 0.9 V and 100 mA, respectively.
I want to calculate the coulombic efficiency of this system. Can any one suggest me?
Can also suggest me that by which mechanism the electricity is generating?
I is current, F represents the Faraday constant, Qin represents the water flow of influent (L/s), and ΔCOD is the variation in effluent and influent COD.
