Abstract:
As a clean energy source and industrial material, hydrogen is very valuable. Electrolysis of water and chemical methods are well-known for producing hydrogen, however, all of these methods need additional energy supply. Besides highly energy cost, the chemical methods will lead to serious environment pollution. Compared with traditional methods, biological production of hydrogen has showed significant advantages. Bio-hydrogen can be produced by anaerobic and photosynthetic microorganisms during treatment of organic waste. It provides a low cost method for producing hydrogen gas, and a way of utilizing waste at the same time. This paper summarized the procedures of treatment of solid waste and the production of bio-hydrogen.
