Effect of Sulfate Concentration on Biohydrogen Production by Enriched Anaerobic Sludge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of SO2-4 concentration ranging from 0 to 10 g/L on fermentative hydrogen production by enriched anaerobic sludge was investigated using glucose as substrate at 35°C and initial pH 7.0. The experimental results showed that the hydrogen yield increased with increasing SO2-4 concentration from 0 to 0.05 g/L. The maximum maximum hydrogen yield of 272.2 mL/g glucose were obtained at the SO2-4 concentration of 0.05 g/L. The average hydrogen production rate increased with increasing SO2-4 concentration from 0 to 0.1 g/L and the maximum average hydrogen production rate of 8.4 mL/h was obtained at the SO2-4 concentration of 0.1 g/L. The Han-Levenspiel model could describe the effect of SO2-4 concentration on average hydrogen production rate successfully.
