New insights into biohydrogen production through dark fermentation: A in-depth investigation with a pure culture

Research output: ThesisDoctoral Thesis

Abstract

This thesis reviewed different gas sampling locations for batch experiments. A high to 30% difference were observed. Then, examined the impact of OLR and ultrasonic degassing which shown a sufficient amount of wasting of hydrogen carriers through the washout of biomass. Considering this problem may also be a result of a low catalytic rate. An external feeding of biomass was introduced to the CSTR reactor. However, due to the contribution of biomass on the soluble hydrogen supersaturation, a lower hydrogen yield being observed. A proteomic study was also conducted to explain the mechanism of hydrogen yield improvement when receiving ultrasonic degassing
