Abstract

In this study, the hydrogen production potential of molasses, wastewater from potato industry and chocolate waste as substrate was investigated. Results show that Rmax (2.2 mLH2/min) was obtained for molasses and chocolate. Hydrogen production rate was lower due to the complex structure of substrates. Therefore, we are interested in using hydrolyzate obtained from acid hydrolysis of substrates. In treated molasses and chocolate, Hmax of 3190 and 6712 mL was obtained, increasing by 171 and 282 % as compared with the result of the untreated substrate, respectively. The net energy gain was calculated as negative for all substrates.
