Biohydrogen production by dark fermentation: scaling-up and technologies integration for a sustainable system

Abstract

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Evaluation of feeding strategies in upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor for hydrogenogenesis at psychrophilic temperature

“…However, many researchers prefer to use already formed granules from brewery wastewater treatment UASB reactors [17,18]. At laboratory scale, hydrogen production in continuous mode is explored to increase stability, organic matter removal, energy efficiency and yields [19,20].…”

Carbon Sources for Biomass, Food, Fossils, Biofuels and Biotechnology - Review Article

“…Biohydrogen production, e.g. by dark fermentation, exhibits a very promising alternative potential to replace fossil fuels (Tapia-Venegas et al, 2015) while metabolic engineering is applied to provide metabolic energy exceeding thermodynamic limitations (Chandrasekhar et al, 2015). Tapia-Venegas et al, (2015) overviewed H2-production by dark fermentation, which is integrated or sequentially coupled with other biological processes, such as anaerobic digestion towards biohythane production (H2/CH4), and its integration into environmental biorefinery concept as an alternative fuel.…”

Various parameters are listed, such as bioreactor development including new solid-state fermentation processes, parameter optimization, process modeling and simulation, exploitation of local waste and cheaper raw materials, combined dark-fermentation with photo-fermentation, and the coupling of hydrogen purification with the production process (Tapia-Venegas et al, 2015).…”

Substrate is the main cost in fermentative hydrogen production, while complex lignocellulosic biomass represents the most attractive low-cost feedstock, and its bioaugmentation to alternative H2 via synergistic co-cultures is more efficient (production and yield) than with monocultures.…”

Batch and continuous biogenic hydrogen fermentation of acid pretreated de-oiled jatropha waste (DJW) hydrolysate

“…23 The hydrolysate obtained at 100 g L À1 biomass was used for the CSTR operation. 23 The hydrolysate obtained at 100 g L À1 biomass was used for the CSTR operation.…”
