Summary: With the advancement of technologies, there is a growing interest in producing renewable hydrogen using biological methods due to its economic and eco-friendly properties. Recent studies have investigated various pretreatment methods and additives to enhance the efficiency of biohydrogen production, such as enzymes and conductive materials. In this study, magnetite was employed to enhance the bioactivity of hydrogen-producing microorganisms during dark fermentation (DF). The addition of 100 mg/L magnetite resulted in the maximum biohydrogen production of 73.59 ml/gVS, representing a 46% increase compared to the control group. In the magnetite-supported reactor, the dominant bacterial genera were Sporolactobacillus (39%), Clostridium (15%), and Coprothermobacter (10%), which positively influenced biohydrogen production.

Summary: This study found that lactate fermentation was the main route for H-2 production in mesophilic dark fermentation reactors treating olive mill wastewater. Conversion of lactate to butyrate via pyruvate generation was the key step for H-2 production. Complex interactions among lactate-, acetate-, and H-2-producing bacteria were identified as determining factors in the H-2 production routes.

Summary: Green and clean hydrogen production has gained importance for sustainable renewable energy fuel needs. The dark fermentation (DF) process for biohydrogen production from organic wastes is environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. This article explores the feasibility of transforming the DF process into a biorefinery system and discusses factors influencing its performance, as well as the need for downstream processes and hydrogen purification techniques. Furthermore, it highlights opportunities, challenges, and research directions for enhancing hydrogen yield and microbial metabolism, and analyzes the commercialization status and policy-level issues from the Indian perspective.

Summary: The effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the continuous lactate-driven dark fermentation (LD-DF) of food waste (FW) was studied. The study also investigated the impact of feast/famine perturbations on the bioprocess. Decreasing the HRT from 24 to 16 and 12 hours led to changes in hydrogen production rate (HPR). The optimal HRT of 16 hours supported a HPR of 4.2 L H2/L-d. Feast/famine perturbations caused by 12-hour feeding interruptions resulted in a significant increase in HPR, reaching up to 19.2 L H2/L-d. However, the process stabilized at 4.3 L H2/L-d following the perturbation. Metabolite analysis confirmed the occurrence of LD-DF throughout the operation, with hydrogen production being positively correlated with lactate consumption and butyrate production. Overall, the LD-DF process for FW showed high sensitivity but resilience against temporary feast/famine perturbations, supporting high-rate HPRs under optimal HRTs.

Summary: In this study, a model was developed to estimate the lag phase time, hydrogen production efficiency, and kinetics in dark fermentation. The model relied on growing bacteria in defined culture media, monitoring the pH, and using the acid-base species mass balance. The results showed that the pH curve could accurately predict the amount of produced hydrogen and estimate the parameters of the modified Gompertz model.

Summary: This study focuses on a comprehensive review of pilot-scale production of biohydrogen and the factors influencing experimental design. Biohydrogen is a clean energy carrier that has the potential to replace fossil fuels. It has advantageous attributes, such as carbon neutrality, easy renewability, eco-efficient productivity, eco-friendly conversion, and high energy content. However, large-scale production of biohydrogen is limited due to high costs compared to fossil fuels. Cost-effective and eco-friendly technologies need to be developed to make biohydrogen more competitive.

Summary: This study demonstrates the dark fermentative hydrogen gas production from waste peach pulp using intermittent feeding. The effects of hydraulic residence time (HRT) and substrate loading rate (SLR) on hydrogen production were investigated, showing that shorter HRTs and higher SLRs are more favorable for hydrogen formation. The maximum hydrogen formation rate of 931.8 mLH2/L.d was achieved with an HRT of 1 day and an SLR of 90 gTOC/L.d.

Summary: Batch hydrogen gas production by co-fermentation of Lemna minor with glucose and Diospyros kaki peels was investigated to determine the optimal concentration blends for the highest hydrogen yield and rate. Blending 40 g/L Lemna minor with 21 g/L glucose resulted in the most convenient hydrogen yield and rate, while blending 40 g/L Lemna minor with 60 g/L Diospyros kaki peels led to maximum hydrogen production. Blending Lemna minor with Diospyros kaki peels proved to be more efficient than blending with glucose.
