“…In this situation, all H 2 is produced by a single reversible reaction and it is even more important to maintain a low pH 2 (Kataoka et al 1997;Mizuno et al 2000). Advances in gas separation technology may permit a purgegas recycle system to remove the need for large quantities of inert, anaerobic purge gas for H 2 removal (Nielsen et al 2001;Liang et al 2002;Teplyakov et al 2002).…”

Biological methods of hydrogen production are preferable to chemical methods because of the possibility to use sunlight, CO 2 and organic wastes as substrates for environmentally benign conversions, under moderate conditions. By combining different microorganisms with different capabilities, the individual strengths of each may be exploited and their weaknesses overcome. Mechanisms of bio-hydrogen production are described and strategies for their integration are discussed. Dual systems can be divided broadly into wholly light-driven systems (with microalgae/cyanobacteria as the 1 st stage) and partially light-driven systems (with a dark, fermentative initial reaction). Review and evaluation of published data suggests that the latter type of system holds greater promise for industrial application. This is because the calculated land area required for a wholly light-driven dual system would be too large for either centralised (macro-) or decentralised (micro-)energy generation. The potential contribution to the hydrogen economy of partially light-driven dual systems is overviewed alongside that of other bio-fuels such as bio-methane and bio-ethanol.Redwood et al. -Dual systems for Bio-H 2 -Reviews in Environ.

Biohydrogen Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass: Technology and Sustainability

et al. 2015

Among the various renewable energy sources, biohydrogen is gaining a lot of traction as it has very high efficiency of conversion to usable power with less pollutant generation. The various technologies available for the production of biohydrogen from lignocellulosic biomass such as direct biophotolysis, indirect biophotolysis, photo, and dark fermentations have some drawbacks (e.g., low yield and slower production rate, etc.), which limits their practical application. Among these, metabolic engineering is presently the most promising for the production of biohydrogen as it overcomes most of the limitations in other technologies. Microbial electrolysis is another recent technology that is progressing very rapidly. However, it is the dark fermentation approach, followed by photo fermentation, which seem closer to commercialization. Biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass is particularly suitable for relatively small and decentralized systems and it can be considered as an important sustainable and renewable energy source. The comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass and its comparison with other biofuels can be a tool for policy decisions. In this paper, we discuss the various possible approaches for producing biohydrogen from lignocellulosic biomass which is an globally available abundant resource. The main technological challenges are discussed in detail, followed by potential solutions.

Abstract:The effect of alkaline and acid pretreatment on solubilization of solid organic matter in palm oil mill effluent (POME) and hydrogen production by Thermoanaerobacterium-rich sludge was studied. Organic matter solubilization of alkaline and acid pretreatments were increased up to 28 and 15.7% of initial soluble COD in POME, respectively. That corresponds to carbohydrate solubilization of 41 and 32% of initial soluble carbohydrate in POME, respectively. A maximum hydrogen production yield of 4.6 l H /l-POME was achieved 2 from POME pretreated with 1.5% w/v NaOH, which was 3-fold greater than raw POME and 1-fold greater than POME pretreated with 1.5% w/v HCl. Optimum conditions for biohydrogen production from alkaline pretreated POME using Thermoanaerobacterium-rich sludge was found at initial pH 5.5 and temperature of 60°C, which gives a maximum hydrogen production yield of 5.2 l H /l-POME and increased 51% as compared to raw POME. 2The biogas was mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon dioxide with the percentage of hydrogen ranging from 55-60% of biogas and free of methane. During the conversion of alkaline pretreated POME into hydrogen, the acetic and butyric acids were main by-products in the metabolism. The results showed that alkaline pretreatment is an effective pretreatment methods for enhancing the hydrogen production yield from POME. The use of Thermoanaerobacterium-rich sludge is promising for future engineering practice of biohydrogen production from alkaline pretreated POME.
