Vegetable waste as substrate and source of suitable microflora for bio-hydrogen production

Hydrogen production from glycerol by Escherichia coli and other bacteria: An overview and perspectives

“…Glucose, sucrose, lactose or starch mixtures [97,98], rice and wheat straws, corn stalks [99,100], cheese whey [101], and many other sources [2,9,11,12,102,103] have been shown to be useful for H 2 production by E. coli and other bacteria and their mixtures during fermentation. Recently Kumar et al [104] have published updated information about lignocellulose H 2 production by dark fermentation discussing pretreatment and hydrolysis methods to achieve efficient process.…”

Response of a continuous biomethanation process to transient organic shock loads under controlled and uncontrolled pH conditions

“…The SLB5, 8, and 10 were closely related (!97% sequence similarity) to Clostridium, Acetobacter, and Rahnella species, respectively. Clostridium and Rahnella species are able to ferment various carbohydrates, including lactose, to organic acids (Brenner et al, 2005;De Vos et al, 2009), and their members frequently appear in fermentation processes that treat organic wastes (Kim et al, , 2013Marone et al, 2014). The bacterial populations corresponding to SLB5 and SLB10 were therefore likely to be involved in fermentation of carbohydrates (primarily lactose) in the feed.…”

Hydrothermal gasification of different agricultural wastes in supercritical water media for hydrogen production: a comparative study

“…Among the products of biomass conversion, hydrogen as a key energy carrier and versatile and environmental friendly fuel for the future has attracted extensive attention [10,11]. Hydrogen has the highest energy density among other conventional fuels with LHV of 122 kJ/kg [12]. Also it is combusted, very clean and has zero emission with the only product of water when it is used in fuel cells [13].…”
