Popis: | Biochar derived from residue cornstalk left after anaerobic bio-hydrogen production (RCA-biochar) was confirmed to enhance bio-hydrogen production from cornstalk hydrolysate. However, the role of RCA-biochar in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) during bio-hydrogen production from cornstalk has not yet been revealed. This study therefore aims to fill this knowledge gap. It was observed that with the increase in RCA-biochar concentration from 0 g/L to 10.0 g/L, the maximal cumulative SSF bio-hydrogen yield varied from 24.3 ± 1.1 mL/g-substrate to 154.3 ± 3.6 mL/g substrate under varying pH values – 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0. The increasing bio-hydrogen production was observed to correlate with both RCA-biochar level and initial pH. Batch tests confirmed that the initial pH had an obvious effect an saccharification, while RCA-biochar affected anaerobic fermentation a lot. The findings revealed the role of previously unrecognized RCA-biochar in SSF bio-hydrogen production from cornstalk, which can provide an alternative approach for lignocellulosic bio-hydrogen production. |
