of peat by mechanical pressing can be greatly improved by treatments, such as addition of electrolytes and freezing and thawing, which break down the colloidal peat structure. Particularly, by addition of 9.4% lime to peat, followed by freezing, thawing and pressing at -8.27
MPa, the moisture content can be reduced from 90% to -50%.
The improvement gained is commercially advantagous.

Dewatering of fuel peat by mechanical pressing can be greatly improved by treating the peat with lime and then running it through a freeze-thaw cycle. Results are presented for different concentrations of lime and different types of treatment.
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** The biocathode is proving to be a promising feature for development of the microbial fuel cell (MFC), although much work remains to be done to increase its power generation. This study aimed to enhance the performance of a biocathode by applying selected cathode potentia
