Thermophillic, fermentative hydrogen production using activated carbon as carrier material.
Repeated batch cultivation used to immobilise anaerobic sludge inside the GAC pore.
Optimal hydrogen production occurred at initial pH of 5.5 and 13 ± 1.5 mM of sucrose.
Biohydrogen production in FBCR was examined under varied HRT.
Hydrogen yield of 2.8 mol H2/mol hexose achieved at 12 h HRT in GAC–FBRC system.
