Optimal conditions for biological hydrogen production from food waste

Abstract: Biohydrogen production from food waste via dark fermentation was conducted by using mixed culture under various environmental conditions (initial pH, initial F/M ratio, initial ferrous iron (Fe 2+), and temperature condition) in batch reactor. The results revealed that the maximum hydrogen yield of 46.19 mL H2/g CODadd was achieved at the optimal conditions (initial pH 8.0, initial F/M ratio 4.0, initial iron concentration 100 mg FeSO4/L and thermophilic condition (55±1˚C)). Furthermore, major volatile fatty a… Show more

“…As depicted in Fig. 6 a, the pH value recorded at the beginning of the H 2 production phase under optimal conditions was 8.0, which was consistent with previous studies [ 39 , 40 ] in which the same initial pH maximized H 2 production from the fermentation process of similar substrates. Furthermore, a relatively high final pH of 6.6 for this experiment indicated that the pH drop was very small, which further implies that the buffering capacity provided by fly ash most probably prevented a large decline in pH, despite the fact that the fermentation process took place under dry conditions with a high risk of excessive acidification.…”

“…The biohydrogen yields of all tested wastes in the present study are listed in Table 2 , which are in agreement with the previous studies, although the pH management method used was different [ 25 , 46 ]. On the other end, Wongthanate and Chinnacotpong [ 47 ] obtained biohydrogen yield of 44.83 mL/g COD under no pH control conditions which was 89.67 mL/g COD obtained in the present study from FW under PM12, indicating the positive impact of pH management.…”
