  Bio-hydrogen is a clean source of energy with no harmful by-products produced during its combustion so hydrogen is potentially sustainable energy carrier for future. Therefore, bio-hydrogen produced by anaerobic bacteria in dark fermentation has attracted worldwide attention as renewable energy. However, capability of hydrogen production of these bacteria depends on major factors as substrates, iron-containing hydrogenase, reduction agent, pH and temperature. In this study, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed to improve hydrogen production of a hydrogen-producing anaerobic bacteria strain that was isolated from animal waste in Phu Linh, Soc Son, Vietnam (PL strain). The hydrogen production process was investigated as a function of three critical factors: soluble starch concentration (8-12 g L-1), ferrous .. Read More»
