Hydrogen generation from complex substrates composed of simple sugars has the potential to mitigate future worldwide energy demand. The biohydrogen potential of a sequential microaerobic dark- and photo-fermentative system was investigated using immobilized Rhodobacter capsulatus JP91. Biological hydrogen production from glucose was carried out using a batch process and a bench-scale bioreactor. Response surface methodology with a Box-Behnken design was employed to optimize key parameters such as inoculum concentration, oxygen concentration, and glucose concentration. The maximum hydrogen production (21 +/- 0.25 mmol H-2/L) and yield (7.8 +/- 0.1 mol H-2/mol glucose) were obtained at 6 mM glucose, 4.5% oxygen and 62.5 v/v% inoculum concentration, demonstrating the feasibility of enhanced hydrogen production by immobilized R. capsulatus JP91 in a sequential system. This is the first time that a sequential process using an immobilized system has been described. This system also achieved the highest hydrogen yield obtained by an immobilized system so far.

ECONOMICS OF BIOGAS SPACE HEATING-SYSTEMS IN RURAL TURKEY TASDEMIROGLU, E (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) Biogas systems are considered to be strong alternatives to the traditional space heating systems (stoves) in rural Turkey. The economics of biogas systems are compared with traditional heating systems fuelled by wood, coal and wood mixture, and dried animal waste in three different climatic regions in the country. The technical data used in the analysis are based on the experimental results. Seven different comparisons are made between the biogas and traditional systems. The payback periods, cumulated l...
Application of Nanoparticle Antioxidants to Enable Hyperstable Chloroplasts for Solar Energy Harvesting Boghossian, Ardemis A.; Sen, Fatih; Gibbons, Brenna M.; Sen, Selda; Faltermeier, Sean M.; Giraldo, Juan Pablo; Zhang, Cathy T.; Zhang, Jingqing; Heller, Daniel A.; Strano, Michael S. (Wiley, 2013-07-01) The chloroplast contains densely stacked arrays of light-harvesting proteins that harness solar energy with theoretical maximum glucose conversion efficiencies approaching 12%. Few studies have explored isolated chloroplasts as a renewable, abundant, and low cost source for solar energy harvesting. One impediment is that photoactive proteins within the chloroplast become photodamaged due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In vivo, chloroplasts reduce photodegradation by applying a self-repair cycl...
The inhibitory effects and removal of dieldrin continuous upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; DEMİRER, GÖKSEL NİYAZİ (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-01) The inhibitory effects and removal efficiency of dieldrin (DLD) in anaerobic reactors were investigated. Anaerobic toxicity assay (ATA) experiments conducted in batch reactors revealed that 30 mg/l DLD had inhibitory effects on the unacclimated mixed anaerobic cultures. Continuous reactor experiments performed in a lab-scale two-stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor system which was fed with ethanol as the sole carbon source, indicated that anaerobic granular cultures could be successfully ac...
Biohydrogen production from barley straw hydrolysate through sequential dark and photofermentation Ozgur, Ebru; Peksel, Begum (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01) Biohydrogen production by sequential operation of dark and photo-fermentation processes is a promising method to produce hydrogen from renewable resources, in a sustainable way. In this study, barley straw hydrolysate (BSEI) dark fermenter effluent (DFE) was used as the biomass feedstock for biohydrogen production through photofermentation. Two different dark fermentation effluents were obtained by performing fermentation with or without addition of yeast extract (YE), using hyperthermophilic dark fermentat...
Optimization of PERC fabrication based on loss analysis in an industrially relevant environment: First results from GUNAM photovoltaic line (GPVL) ES, FIRAT; SEMİZ, EMEL; Orhan, Efe; Genc, Ezgi; Kokbudak, Gamze; Baytemir, Gulsen; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01) Passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) concept with an already developed roadmap for 24% efficiency will be leading the photovoltaics industry in the upcoming years. In a few industrial pilot lines, efficiencies above 22% have already been attained. Pilot lines have important roles in bridging lab scale proven concepts with the products which are ready for mass production. Therefore, GUNAM Photovoltaic Line which is specialized on PERC concepts has been established to overcome the barriers that hinder the ...
