Hydrogen is regarded as an ideal energy carrier if it is produced from renewable resources such as biomass. Sequential operation of dark and photofermentation allows a highly efficient production of hydrogen from biomass, as maximal conversion of the energy in the carbohydrates to hydrogen can be achieved. In this study photofermentative hydrogen production was carried out in a solar panel photobioreactor by Rhodobacter capsulatus wild type (DSM 1710) and Rhodobacter capsulatus hup(-) (YO3) strain on the molasses dark fermentation effluents which were obtained using an extreme thermophile Caldicellusiruptor saccharolyticus in the dark fermentation step. Continuous hydrogen production on the molasses dark fermentation effluents was achieved up to 55 days with R. capsulatus wild type and 75 days with R. capsulatus hup(-) in outdoor conditions during summer 2009, in Ankara Turkey. The maximum hydrogen yield obtained using R. capsulatus hup- was 78% (of the theoretical maximum) and the maximum hydrogen productivity was 0.67 mmol H-2/L-c.h. The maximum hydrogen productivity and yield of the wild type strain on the molasses dark fermentation effluents were 0.50 mmol H-2/L-c.h and 50%, respectively. The changes in climatic conditions, particularly daily global solar radiation, affected the hydrogen productivity and yield. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.

Biohydrogen production from beet molasses by sequential dark and photofermentation
Ozgur, Ebru; Mars, Astrid E.; Peksel, Beguem; Louwerse, Annemarie; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Claassen, Pieternel A. M.; Eroglu, Inci (2010-01-01)
Biological hydrogen production using renewable resources is a promising possibility to generate hydrogen in a sustainable way. In this study, a sequential dark and photofermentation has been employed for biohydrogen production using sugar beet molasses as a feedstock. An extreme thermophile Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus was used for the dark fermentation, and several photosynthetic bacteria (Rhodobacter capsulatus wild type, R. capsulatus hup(-) mutant, and Rhodopseudomonas palustris) were used for t...
Biohydrogen production by Rhodobacter capsulatus on acetate at fluctuating temperatures
Ozgur, Ebru; Uyar, Basar; Ozturk, Yavuz; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, Inci (2010-03-01)
Hydrogen is a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels. Photosynthetic bacteria produce hydrogen from organic compounds under anaerobic, nitrogen-limiting conditions through a light-dependent electron transfer process. In this study, the hydrogen production efficiency of phototrophic bacteria, Rhodobacter capsulatus and its Hup mutant strain (an uptake hydrogenase deleted strain) were tested on different initial acetate concentrations at fluctuating temperatures with indoor and outdoor photobioreactors. Ace...
Bio-fuel production from microalgae
Onay, Melih; Yücel, A Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biochemistry (2015)
Bio-fuel is a renewable fuel and it includes different biofuel energy sources such as methane, bioethanol and biodiesel. Generally, biodiesel is produced from agricultural waste, vegetable oils such as soybean and palm oil. Third generation biofuels called as microalgae have been appeared nowadays. In the current study, biodiesel production from thermo-resistant green microalgae was focused on. For this aim, microalgae were sampled from a few hotspring points in Haymana and isolated. Identification and char...
Photofermentative hydrogen production from molasses in tubular photobioreactor with pH control
Oflaz, Fatma Betül; Koku, Harun; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019)
Biological hydrogen production has the potential to supply hydrogen from various wastes as feedstock and operation under ambient conditions. In order to obtain cost effective production, photobioreactors (PBRs) that can operate for long durations while utilizing waste are necessary. Two primary issues limiting the duration are decrease in pH and the non-optimal C/N ratio. The main aim of this study was to construct and operate a pH control system for a pilot scale photobioreactor (20 L) to achieve prolonged...
Catalytic methanolysis of hydrazine borane: a new and efficient hydrogen generation system under mild conditions
Karahan, Senem; Zahmakıran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (2012-01-01)
Safe and efficient hydrogen storage is a major obstacle for using hydrogen as an energy carrier. Therefore, intensive efforts have been focused on the development of new materials for chemical hydrogen storage. Of particular importance, hydrazine borane (N2H4BH3) is emerging as one of the most promising solid hydrogen carriers due to its high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity (15.4 wt%) and low molecular weight. Herein, we report metal catalyzed methanolysis of hydrazine borane (N2H4BH3, HB) as a fast h...
