“…Values of HRT higher than the growth rate of hydrogen-producing microorganisms prevent washout of the biomass (De Gioannis et al 2013). Longer HRTs, however, allow the accumulation of VFAs, thus lowering the fermentation pH and impeding hydrogen production (Jutakanoke et al 2012).…”

This study modeled and optimized the operational parameters for biohydrogen production from waste sugarcane leaves and assessed hydrogen production on a semi-pilot scale. A Box-Behnken design with input variables of substrate concentration (8 to 24 g/L), inoculum concentration (10% to 50% v/v), and hydraulic retention time (HRT, 24 to 96 h) was used. A coefficient of determination (R 2 ) of 0.90 and the predicted optimum operational set-points of 14.2 g/L substrate concentration, 32.7% inoculum concentration, and 62.8 h HRT were obtained. Experimental validation produced a biohydrogen yield of 12.8 mL H2/g fermentable sugar (FS). A semi-pilot scale process in a 13-L Infors reactor under optimized conditions gave a cumulative hydrogen volume and yield of 3740 mL and 321 mL H2 g -1 FS, respectively, with a peak hydrogen fraction of 37%. Microbial analysis from the process effluent conducted by Polymerase Chain Reaction cloning indicated the presence of hydrogen-producing bacteria belonging to Clostridium sp., Klebsiella sp., and Enterobacter sp. These findings highlight the feasibility of biohydrogen production from sugarcane waste and provide preliminary knowledge on process scale up.

“…Traditionally, H 2 is industrially produced by energy intensive processes, such as steam reforming of natural gas, gasification of coal, and water electrolysis [4]. In recent years, dark fermentative H 2 production has become a promising method for sustainable practical applications owing to simple reactor configuration, mild operation conditions, and high H 2 production rate [5]. More importantly, H 2 production by dark fermentation can be achieved by using various organic waste materials in an eco-friendly way, by which H 2 production cost can be significantly decreased to make it economically feasible at a commercial scale [6].…”

Temperature Seed sludgeCorn stover hydrolyzate Denaturing gradient gel electropho- resis (DGGE)Microbial diversity analysis a b s t r a c tThe temperature effect on fermentative hydrogen (H 2 ) production from corn stover hydrolyzate was investigated under mesophilic (37 and 30 C), thermophilic (55 C), and extreme thermophilic (70 C) conditions by using two typical seed sludges (activated sludge and anaerobic granular sludge). Among various temperatures, the fermentation at 55 C reached the optimal H 2 production with the values of 6.08 mmol-H 2 /g-utilized sugar for activated sludge and 7.74 mmol-H 2 /g-utilized sugar for anaerobic granular sludge, respectively. For the two seed sludges, the effectiveness of fermentation temperature on H 2 production both followed the order as 55 C > 70 C > 37 C z 30 C. The soluble metabolites composition at 55 C showed the highest acetate and butyrate concentrations, as well as the minimum ethanol production, coinciding with better H 2 -producing performances in these cases. Microbial community analysis indicated that microbial community diversity significantly decreased with increased fermentation temperature. Facultative anaerobes, such as Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., and Citrobacter spp., were dominant in microbial community of the two seed sludges. As efficient H 2 producers, Bacillus sp. AB5283 in activated sludge and Thermoanaerobacterium sp. PO-2009 in anaerobic granular sludge might be mainly responsible for high H 2 yields under thermophilic condition.
