Photo-hydrogen production by Rhodopseudomonas faecalis RLD-53 immobilized on the surface of modified activated carbon fibers

Abstract

Surface modified activated carbon fibers were developed as a solid carrier to improve photo-fermentative hydrogen production. The surface morphology and functional groups of activated carbon fibers were modified by HNO3 oxidation followed by steam explosion, which greatly increased the immobilization capacity and allowed attachment of more photo-hydrogen producer on the surface. This allowed the photo-bioreactor to operate with a low hydraulic retention time and high organic loading rate.
