Biohydrogen production: prospects and limitations to practical application

TLDR
In this paper, the authors compare the hydrogen production rates of various bio-hydrogen systems by first standardizing the units of hydrogen production and then calculating the size of biohydrogen system that would be required to power proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells of various sizes.

Hydrodynamic behaviors in fermentative hydrogen bioreactors by pressure fluctuation analysis.

TL;DR: It was found that the flow regimes in the bioreactors changed from a dispersed regime to coalesced and slugging regimes, when the biogas production rate (BPR) increased, as a result of decreasing the operating HRT.

High purity hydrogen production via aqueous phase reforming of xylose over small Pt nanoparticles on a γ-Al2O3 support

TL;DR: In this article, aqueous phase reforming (APR) of xylose was conducted over highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on a γ-Al2O3 support (Pt-SNP), which revealed that most of the particles ranged between 0.8 and 1.6 cm in size and the average particle size was 1.3 cm.

Biohydrogen Production Based on the Evaluation of Kinetic Parameters of a Mixed Microbial Culture Using Glucose and Fruit–Vegetable Waste as Feedstocks

TL;DR: In this study, batch experiments were conducted using glucose as substrate, and data of H2 production obtained were successfully adjusted by a logistic model, leading to a productive steady state in continuous culture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of pretreatment methods and initial pH on mixed inoculum for fermentative hydrogen production from cassava wastewater

TL;DR: The main factors that affect the biohydrogen production from renewable resources are continually studied because their limitations are variable and depend largely on the substrate type, especially substrate types are highly dependent on the type of the substrate as mentioned in this paper.
