Due to rapid growth in population and societal development, the demand for energy is on increase. The production of palm oil as one major edible oils consumed world has increased tremendously. Palm mill effluent (POME), a wastewater from most significant agricultural industry produced tremendous amounts that requires proper management mitigate its negative environmental effects. Studies have sh...

14 This study investigates the mesophilic biohydrogen production from glucose using a strictly 15 anaerobic strain, Clostridium butyricum CWBI1009, immobilized in a trickling bed sequenced 16 batch reactor (TBSBR) packed with a Lantec HD Q-PAC ® packing material (132 ft2/ft3 specific 17 surface). The reactor was operated for 62 days. The main parameters measured here were 18 hydrogen compositio...

This study examined the influence of biohydrogen fermentation under the high bicarbonate alkalinity (BA) and pH to optimize these critical parameters. When sucrose was used as a substrate, hydrogen was produced over a wide range of pH values (5–9) under no BA supplementation; however, BA affected hydrogen yield significantly under different initial pHs (5–10). The actual effect of high BA using...

Despite the high potential to increase sustainability of food systems, wastes and byproducts occurring in the food supply chain are currently only partially valorised at different valueadded levels. First-generation valorisation strategies that aim at utilisation of complete material streams for production of animal feed, energy, compost and/or specific consumer applications are already widely ...
