Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImprovement of Biohydrogen Production under Increased the Reactor Size by C. acetobutylicum NCIMB 13357Hisham Salem Alshiyab, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffProblem statement: One of the main factors influenced the bacterial productivity and total yield of hydrogen is the partial pressure of produced gas. A novel solution to enhance the bacterial productivity was through reduction of gas pressure. Approach: Increasing the reactor size showed to enhance the bacterial production of hydrogen. Results: The technique of increasing reactor size resulted to enhance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,361 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCarbon Dioxide Utilization for an Enhanced Biohydrogen Production of a Biomass HydrolysateAlma Negre Abug, Young Sook OhBio-hydrogen (H2) production in a thermophilic anaerobic bioreactor with carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization at the headspace was investigated at different ratio of Biomass substrate to Microorganism (B/M). A 3 mL volume of 80% NaOH (m/v) solution was continuously hung at the headspace of the bioreactors to capture carbon dioxide. The utilization of CO2 at its headspace, proved to enhance bio … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 Aug 2016 · 7,229 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of the Photoheterotrophic Hydrogen Production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides KCTC 1434 using Volatile Fatty Acids under Argon and Nitrogen HeadspaceRuby Lynn G. Ventura, Jey-R S. Ventura, Young-Sook OhIn this study, the photo fermentative H2 production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides KCTC 1434 was investigated using acetate, propionate and butyrate under argon and nitrogen headspace gases. The highest H2 yield and Substrate Conversion Efficiency (SCE) were observed from butyrate (8.84 mol H2/mol butyrate consumed, 88.42% SCE) and propionate (6.10 mol H2/mol propionate consumed, 87.16% SCE) under Ar headspace. Utilization of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 30 Nov 2016 · 9,058 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMedia Improvement for Hydrogen Production Using C. acetobutylicum NCIMB 13357Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Hisham Salem Saleh Alshiyab, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffProblem statement: Some component of fermentation medium showed to reduce the bacterial production of hydrogen. Approach: Reinforced clostridium medium is a selected medium for Clostridium species. Reformulation this medium regarding hydrogen production may focus on such medium composition that enhance or reduce the bacterial productivity. The optimum pH and temperature for hydrogen production were at initial pH of 7.0 and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,255 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTrace Metal Effect on Hydrogen Production Using C.acetobutylicumHisham Alshiyab, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffThis study was carried out to study the effect of trace metal addition for hydrogen production The results show that this bacterial need a selected nutrient with selected concentration. The optimum parameters for cultivation were at initial pH of 7.0 and temperature of 30°C. Trace metal addition to the new medium showed that only iron enhanced the H2 yield. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,635 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Development in Biological Process for Wastewater Treatment to Produce Renewable FuelKadhum M. Shabeeb, Khalid A. Sukkar, Rana A. Azeez et al.Problem statement: Hydrogen is a clean energy source. Bio-conversion of biomass to generate hydrogen has been achieved using anaerobic fermentation of some well-defined materials, in wastewater. No data available on hydrogen yielded from wastewater using inoculum extracted from Iraqi municipal wastewater treatment plant. Approach: This study investigated the effects of substrate concentration, initial pH and process temperature on biohydrogen production … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,252 accessesView PDF Cite
