Economic growth of Brazil is largely supported by bioethanol production, which is a biofuel obtained from a renewable material, and its combustion is less aggressive to the environment, as compared to fossil fuels. Nevertheless, each liter of bioethanol generates approximately between 10 and 15 L of vinasse, which contains high amount of organic matter, as well as antibacterial and recalc…
Anaerobic digestion has been considered as an attractive method to stabilize the organic matter from wastewater, since it recovers sustainable energy, such as H2 and other products of chemical interest. However, although the theoretical stoichiometric potential is 12 mol H2 mol-1, the energy recovery is low and the yield is thermodynamically limited to 4 mol H2 per mol of glucose. In this…
The specific organic loading rate (SOLR) has proven to be a key factor on the fermentative production of hydrogen. However, maintaining an appropriate value of the SOLR to achieve high yields of hydrogen is still a challenge. The periodic increase of organic load is presented as a strategy to prevent the decrease in SOLR and consequently increase and maintain a constant hydrogen productio…
