Metal hydride alloys for storing hydrogen produced by anaerobic bacterial fermentation

Improvement of Biohydrogen Production from Dark Fermentation by Cocultures and Activated Carbon Immobilization

“…Currently, much attention has been paid to biohydrogen because its energy content (122 kJ/g) is greater than that of fossil fuels and because it combusts without greenhouse gas emissions (such as NOx). Moreover, biohydrogen is a source that could be stored easily and safely in alloys and metals that can form hydrides . Because of these advantages, biohydrogen production from dark and photo fermentation has been extensively studied by researchers.…”

“…Moreover, biohydrogen is a source that could be stored easily and safely in alloys and metals that can form hydrides. 2 Because of these advantages, biohydrogen production from dark and photo fermentation has been extensively studied by researchers. Dark fermentation was considered to be a more promising approach for hydrogen production than photo fermentation because expensive and large surface area photo bioreactors are required for photo fermentation.…”

Metal hydride technologies for renewable energy

“…Metal hydride hydrogen separation system can be a promising solution for smallscale power generating devices based on biologically produced hydrogen. Hydrogen extraction from liquid phase during anaerobic fermentation by different types of metal hydrides is investigated in [34]. Miura et al [35][36][37] presented 100Nl/h lab scale and 3 Nm 3 /h bench scale systems based on metal hydrides for hydrogen extraction from reforming gas.…”

Selection and modification of microorganisms and substrates for acquiring and separation of energy carriers

“…Hydrogen usage as an energy carrier is the most important stone in hydrogen economy as it can store the energy from fossil domestic resources (natural gas, coal, oil), biomass and intermittently available renewables such as wind and Sun for use in stationary and mobile applications [1]. The information in this chapter is obtained from PhD thesis of Ilze Dimanta, defended in June, 2016, at the University of Latvia [2], MSc thesis of Sintija Valucka, defended in June 2015, Faculty of Biology, the University of Latvia [3], Bachelor's thesis of Zane Kleinmane, defended in June 2016, Faculty of Biology, the University of Latvia [4], Bachelor's thesis of Matīss Paiders defended in June 2017, Faculty of Biology, the University of Latvia [5], which to some extent is reflected in publications [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
