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.

Hydrogen fermentation of food waste without inoculum addition

TL;DR: In this article, a batch process that produces H 2 without inoculum addition was devised based on two facts: (1) the abundant indigenous microflora found within organic solid wastes and (2) batch H 2 production completion times being in the same range with hydraulic retention times at continuous processes.

Fermentative hydrogen production from xylose using anaerobic mixed microflora

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the enriched mesophilic sewage sludge microflora with a continuous feeding can produce hydrogen from xylose with hydrogen content of 32% (v/v) in the biogas.

Two-phase anaerobic digestion for production of hydrogen–methane mixtures

TL;DR: An anaerobic digestion process to produce hydrogen and methane in two sequential stages was investigated, using two bioreactors of 2 and 15 L working volume, respectively, to test the assumption that separation of phase can enhance metabolism in the second methane producing reactor.

Inhibition of biohydrogen production by ammonia.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the hydrogen production is possible at high concentrations (up to 7.8 g N/L) of ammonia in continuous flow systems as long as the reactor is initially acclimated to a lower ammonia concentration.
