Fermentative Biohydrogen Production from Wastewaters: An Exploration for Sustainable Green Energy
Publication: Green Technologies for Sustainable Water Management
Abstract
Biohydrogen can be made from water, either directly or indirectly, using solar driven photosynthesis and through anaerobic fermentative processes using hybrid biotechnologies. Among these processes, fermentative hydrogen production is a promising technology. This chapter describes both the scientific and practical implications of obtaining sustainable green energy through fermentative biohydrogen production. It discusses different biochemical pathways, the microbiology and biochemistry of hydrogen production, critical process parameters dictating the performance of batch and continuous bioprocesses, and modeling of biohydrogen production. Alternate modeling strategies followed to model and optimize the performance of batch and continuous biohydrogen processes use artificial neural networks (ANNs). ANNs are able to depict the interactive effects among different process variables in complicated bioprocesses. The kinetics describing biomass growth and hydrogen production provide valuable information for bioreactor design and scale-up.
