In the present work olive mill wastewater (OMW) collected from West Anatolia-Turkey during 2001, containing 36.02 g carbon, 5.26 g hydrogen, and 0.96 g nitrogen in 100 g suspended solid was used as a sole substrate for the production of hydrogen gas by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 in 400 ml glass, column-photobioreactors. Hydrogen production studies on diluted-OMW were investigated in the range of 20% (v/v) and 1% (v/v) OMW containing media. Below 5% OMW containing media, bacterial growth rate fitted well to the logistic model where hydrogen production was observed for the ones below 4% OMW. A maximum hydrogen production potential (HPP) of 13.9 I-H2/I-OMW was obtained at 2% OMW. During the biological hydrogen production process, chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the diluted wastewater decreased from 1100 to 720 mg/l; biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) decreased from 475 to 200 mg/l, and the total recoverable phenol content (ortho- and meta-substitutions) decreased from 2.32 to 0.93 mg/l. In addition, valuable by-products such as carotenoid (40 mg/l(OMW)) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) (60 mg/l(OMW)) were obtained. According to these results, OMW was concluded to be a very promising substrate source for biohydrogen production process, with additional benefits of its utilization with regard to environmental and economical aspects.

Photoproduction of hydrogen from sugar refinery wastewater by Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU 001 Yetis, M; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, I; Yucel, M; Turker, L (2000-11-01) Pretreated sugar refinery wastewater (SRWW) was used for the production of hydrogen by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 in a 0.4 1 column photobioreactor. Hydrogen was produced at a rate of 0.001 1 hydrogen/h/l culture in 20% dilution of SRWW. To adjust the carbon concentration to 70 mM and nitrogen concentration to 2 mM, sucrose or l-malic acid was added as carbon source and sodium glutamate was added as nitrogen source to the 20% dilution of SRWW. By these adjustments, hydrogen production rate was increase...
Photofermentative hydrogen production using dark fermentation effluent of sugar beet thick juice in outdoor conditions Ozkan, Endam; Uyar, Basar; Ozgur, Ebru; Yucel, Meral; Eroglu, Inci; Gündüz, Ufuk (2012-01-01) In the present study, photofermentative hydrogen production on thermophilic dark fermentation effluent (DFE) of sugar beet thick juice was investigated in a solar fed-batch panel photobioreactor (PBR) using Rhodobacter capsulatus YO3 (hup(-)) during summer 2009 in Ankara, Turkey. The DFE was obtained by continuous dark fermentation of sugar beet thick juice by extreme thermophile Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus and it contains acetate (125 mM) and NH4+ (7.7 mM) as the main carbon and nitrogen sources, ...
Photoproduction of hydrogen by Rhodobacter capsulatus from thermophilic fermentation effluent Uyar, Basar; Schumacher, Matthias; Gebicki, Jakub; Modigell, Michael (2009-08-01) Rhodobacter capsulatus was used for the phototrophic hydrogen production on effluent solution derived from the thermophilic fermentation of Miscanthus hydrolysate by Thermotoga neapolitana. Pretreatments such as centrifugation, dilution, buffer addition, pH adjustment and sterilization were suggested for the effluent before being fed to the photofermentation. Batch-wise experiments showed that R. capsulatus grows and produces hydrogen on the pretreated effluent solution. Moreover, it was found that the hydr...
Biohydrogen production by Rhodobacter capsulatus in solar tubular photobioreactor on thick juice dark fermenter effluent Boran, Efe; Ozgur, Ebru; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, Inci (2012-08-01) The purpose of this study was to operate a pilot scale solar tubular photobioreactor (90 L) for photofermentative hydrogen production from thick juice dark fermenter effluent (DEE) by photosynthetic purple-non-sulfur bacterium, Rhodobacter capsulatus. The tubular photobioreactor was equipped with internal cooling tubes for effective temperature control, which is essential for stable, long-term operation. The photobioreactor was operated in fed-batch mode throughout September 2009 in Ankara, Turkey. R. capsu...
Photoelectrochemical hydrogen production by Halobacterium halobium Sediroglu, V; Yucel, M; Gunduz, L; Turker, L; Aydemir, A; Eroğlu, İnci (1996-06-28) A bio-photoelectrochemical reactor has been designed and constructed in order to understand the biocatalytic effect of Halobacterium halobium on the electrochemical production of hydrogen in salt solution. Photoelectrochemical studies were carried out at 25 degrees C in 20 % NaCl solution containing 0.68 mu M bacteriorhodopsin. The reactor was illuminated by a 1000 W projector lamp which was 50 cm apart.
