Pretreatment of Organic Wastes for Hydrogen Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biohydrogen Production from Organic Wastes

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

Various organic wastes can be used as low-cost substrate for fermentative hydrogen production, which significantly reduces the hydrogen production cost. Furthermore, biohydrogen production from organic wastes can achieve dual benefits of clean energy generation and waste management since agricultural and municipal wastes can be disposed at the same time. In this chapter, various organic wastes as feedstock, including waste activated sludge produced from wastewater treatment plant, algae, agricultural residuals and municipal wastes, for biological hydrogen production, was reviewed. Since low hydrolytic enzymatic activity is observed with the anaerobic cultures, a pretreatment step is often required for the hydrolysis of organic wastes to enhance the hydrogen production efficiency. Pretreatment process can destroy the crystal structure of macromolecular substances and reduce their polymerization degree. Therefore, the trapped components can be released through cell wall lysis and delignification of lignocellulosic biomass to make higher proportion of readily fermentable substances accessible for microorganisms. Various pretreatment methods used for treating organic wastes as feedstock for hydrogen production were analyzed and compared. Physical treatment, chemical treatment, biological treatment and a combination of different treatments are usually used. Physical treatment methods include mill, grind, ultrasonication, heat, freeze and thaw, microwave and ionizing radiation; chemical treatment methods comprise acid and alkaline treatment, oxidation by oxidizing agent and addition of methanogenic inhibitors; biological treatment methods mainly consist of enzymatic treatment and bacterial hydrolysis. Pretreatment is a critical process for fermentative hydrogen production from biomass. Considerable efforts are needed from both technical and managing aspects to achieve a full-scale application of fermentative hydrogen production from biomass.
