Effects of different pretreatment methods on anaerobic mixed microflora for hydrogen production and COD reduction from palm oil mill effluent
Effects of different pretreatment methods on sludge inocula were evaluated with respect to hydrogen (H 2) production enhancement using palm oil mill effluent (POME) in a batch system. The experimental results showed that the pretreatment methods (chemical, acid, heat-shock, freezing and thawing, and...

| Summary: | Effects of different pretreatment methods on sludge inocula were evaluated with respect to hydrogen (H 2) production enhancement using palm oil mill effluent (POME) in a batch system. The experimental results showed that the pretreatment methods (chemical, acid, heat-shock, freezing and thawing, and base) at 35 °C and initial pH 5.5 had a positive influence on H 2 production yield and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency during the fermentative H 2 production as compared to the control experiments (without pretreatment). Heat-shock pretreatment method was shown to be a simple and useful method for enhancing both H 2 producing and COD removal processes from POME with highest H 2 yield and COD removal efficiency at 0.41 mmol H 2/g COD and 86, respectively. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
