To convert high-solids organic wastes (3% w./w.) to high-value hydrogen, a full factorial experimental design was employed in planning the experiments for learning the effects of pH and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the hydrogen production in a chemostat reactor using waste yeast obtained from beer processing wastes. For determining which experimental variable settings affect hydrogen production, predictive polynomial quadratic equation and response surface methodology were employed to determine and explain the conditions required for high-value hydrogen production. Experimental results indicate that a maximum hydrogen production rate of 460 mL/gVSS/d was obtained at pH=5.8 and HRT=32 hours. Moreover, hydrogenase targeted RT-PCR results indicate that Clostridium thermocellum and Klebsiella pneumoniae predominated.

The basal fermentation time and hydraulic retention time were systemically investigated about anaerobic fermentation production hydrogen process by continuous flow which is based on activated sludge for a basic strain and simulating sucrose wastewater for a substrate in a continuous stirred tank reactor. The highest hydrogen production rate was got at the fermentation time of 15h for and 6h for hydraulic retention time. The optimum run acidity (pH = 4.5 5.0) was kept through their own system circulation to hold the system state of high-speed and continuous hydrogen production. The results can really laid the groundwork for the anaerobic fermentation production hydrogen process by continuous flow from contained sugar wastewater from the laboratory research towards industrialization.
