“…Moreover, it is relatively simple with a lower operating cost than photo fermentation. However, hydrogen yields reported in the literatures was lower than theoretical yields [4], [5]. The highest theoretical yield of hydrogen is 4 mol H 2 /mol glucose, when acetic acid is the end-product.…”

Abstract-The activity of different catalysts namely, Mg-Al hydrotalcite (HT), Au/Zn-Mg-Al HT and nanoporous activated carbon (NAC) were tested in batch fermentative production of hydrogen using sucrose-fed anaerobic mixed culture at 37C. The catalysts activity for fermentative hydrogen production is in order of Au/Zn-Mg-Al HT > NAC > Mg-Al HT. It has been found that the modified HT with Zn supported Au catalyst improved the bioactivity of hydrogen producing bacteria as compared to unmodified HT. This behavior probably is related to the combination effects of the metallic dispersion of Au on the support surface containing Zn, which can act as the active site of several enzymes, including hydrogenase. The Au/Zn-Mg-Al HT exhibited the maximum hydrogen yield of 2.74  0.14 mol H 2 /mol sucrose at applied catalyst dosage of 167 mg/L. The difference in properties of catalysts was speculated to be the cause of variation of soluble metabolites. High initial activity of NAC for hydrogen production accompanied with a high concentration of acetic acid. In the case of metal catalysts, a mixture of acetic acid and butyric acid were detected. In contrast, a lower concentration of butyric acids was observed in NAC test. The result suggested that the presence of NAC could minimize the concentration of butyric acid in fermentation broth with high capacity of absorption up to 77%.

“…Hydrogen production from household solid waste by using extremethermophilic (70°C) mixed culture resulted in 2 mol H 2 mol hexose -1 (Liu et al, 2008a) and 0.82 mol H 2 mol hexose -1 (Liu et al, 2008b). Other studies on various mixed substrates include pig slurry (Kotsopoulous et al, 2009), rice winery wastewater (Yu et al, 2002), palm oil effluent (POME) (Ismail et al, 2010;O'Thong et al, 2008;Prasertsan et al, 2009), and cheese whey (Azbar et al, 2009a(Azbar et al, , 2009b, and are presented in Table 6. Fewer studies have been done using pure microbial cultures producing H 2 from complex biomass.…”

“…Currently, most of civilization for human being depends on fossil fuels, but concerns in depleting of fossil fuels, coupled with increasing in their price and in awareness of global climate change during their use are stimulating interests in alternative, renewable energy (Das and Veziroglu, 2001;Momirlan and Veziroglu, 2002;Prasertsan et al, 2009). Hydrogen is a clean and efficient energy with its high energy content (122 kJ/g) (Chen et al, 2001;Hallenbeck and Benemann, 2002;Momirlan and Veziroglu, 2002;Levin et al, 2004).…”

“…Hydrogen is a clean and efficient energy with its high energy content (122 kJ/g) (Chen et al, 2001;Hallenbeck and Benemann, 2002;Momirlan and Veziroglu, 2002;Levin et al, 2004). Commercial hydrogen is almost produced from steam reforming of natural gases and gasification of coal, but these require high-energy inputs obtained from non-renewable resources (Das and Veziroglu, 2001;Logan et al, 2002;Elam et al, 2003;Prasertsan et al, 2009). Then, hydrogen could be also produced by anaerobic dark fermentation during conversion of organic waste into stabilizitied form, using some fermentative microorganisms, such as a facultative Entrobacter or obligately anaerobic Clostridium (Das and Veziroglu, 2001;Hawkes et al, 2002;Fan and Chen, 2004;Krupp and Widmann, 2009).…”

“…Therefore, lots of studies on the anaerobic dark fermentation have been done to produce hydrogen gas from organic waste such as sewage sludge, food waste, agricultural waste and organic wastewater (Noike et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2003;Chong et al, 2009;Mathews and Wang, 2009). However, the anaerobic hydrogen fermentation still requires several improvements in small yield and unstable production of hydrogen in the continuous process (Hawkes et al, 2002;Prasertsan et al, 2009). Some previous studies reported that long-term operation of the cultures under non-sterile conditions caused a population shift from hydrogen-producing bacteria to hydrogen-consuming or non-hydrogen-producing bacteria such as acetogens, propionate producers, lactate producers, and methanogens, etc.…”

An anaerobic hydrogen fermentation system with a thermophilic flow-through reactor (55 o C) for hydrogen production and a boiling retention vessel (100 o C) for continuous heat treatment, was studied for enhanced continuous hydrogen fermentation using sewage sludge. The performance of the hydrogen fermentation system was tested at various Hydraulic Retention Times (HRTs) ranged from 1 to 5 days. The heat treatment of the fermenting sludge using the boiling retention vessel was an effective to select hydrogen producing bacteria, and to increase the hydrolysis of particulate organics in sewage sludge. The VS reduction from the hydrogen fermentation system with the boiling retention vessel was increased from 22.2% to 37.9% according to the HRT ranged from 1 to 5days, caused by the heat treatment of the fermenting sludge. However, higher maximum yield of hydrogen compared to previous studies was 3.07 mmol H 2 /g TS, which was obtained at 3 days HRT. The hydrogen yield and hydrolysis rate were significantly affected by pH condition, and proper pH for the hydrogen fermentation was from 5.5 to 6.5. The hydrogen production was limited by the hydrolysis for 1day HRT and by the hydrogen consumption activity for 5days HRT.
