The production of hydrogen via microbial biotechnology is an active field of research. Given its ease of manipulation, the best-studied bacterium Escherichia coli has become a workhorse for enhanced hydrogen production through metabolic engineering, heterologous gene expression, adaptive evolution, and protein engineering. Herein, the utility of E. coli strains to produce hydrogen, via native h...

Photosynthetic water splitting, coupled to hydrogenase-catalyzed hydrogen production, is considered a promising clean, renewable source of energy. It is widely accepted that the oxygen sensitivity of hydrogen production, combined with competition between hydrogenases and NADPH-dependent carbon dioxide fixation are the main limitations for its commercialization. Here we provide evidence that, un...

Equilibrium amide hydrogen exchange studies of barstar have been carried out at pH 6.7, 32 degrees C using one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance. An unusually large fraction of the backbone amide hydrogens of barstar exchange too fast to be measured, and the exchange rates of only fifteen slow-exchanging amide sites including indole amides of two tryptophans could be measured in t...

salinity is one of the environmental stresses that have limited influence on the crop growth. oxidative process is a secondary stress due to salinity. oregano is enumerated as one of the most important of medicinal plant that its production and development is possible in iran. in order to study the effect of exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide on salt tolerance in oregano (origanum major...

In this study, the modeling of hydrogen production process in microreactors by methanol-steam reforming reaction is investigated. The catalytic reaction of methanol-steam reforming producing hydrogen is simulated considering a 3D geometry for the microreactor. To calculate diffusion among species, mixture average correlations are compared to Stephan-Maxwell equations. The reactions occurring in...

Approach • Determine the cost and availability of the three candidate biomass feedstocks. • Design a process scheme for the production of hydrogen. • Determine optimal hydrogen production through the testing of various simulation cases. • Analyze research and simulation results to determine technical and economic feasibility. • Determine the commercialization barriers to the production of hydro...

This paper deals with the dynamic modeling of a hydrogen production system using gPROMS. The model includes mass balances, liquid-gas equilibrium relations, mass transfer laws and kinetic reaction equations. The initial reaction mixture is a sodium borohydride solution that reacts via a self-hydrolysis mechanism in the presence of water. The behavior of this system was measured in terms of prod...

Integrating of lignocellulose-based and starch-rich biomass-based hydrogen production was investigated by mixing wheat straw hydrolysate with a wheat grain hydrolysate for improved fermentation. Enzymatic pretreatment and hydrolysis of wheat grains led to a hydrolysate with a sugar concentration of 93.4 g/L, while dilute-acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw led to a hydroly...
