Abstract：

The production of bio-hydrogen from raw cassava starch via a mixed-culture dark fermentation process was investigated. The production yield of H₂ was optimized by adjusting the substrate concentration and the microorganism mixture ratio. A maximum H₂ yield of 1.72 mol H₂/mol glucose was obtained with a cassava starch concentration of 10 g/L to give a 90% utilization rate. The kinetics of the substrate utilization and of the generation of both hydrogen and volatile fatty acids were also investigated. The substrate utilization follows pseudo first order reaction kinetics, whereas the production of both H₂ and the VFAs correlate with the Gompertz equation. These results show that cassava is a good candidate for the production of biohydrogen.

Key words： cassava biohydrogen mixed cultures kinetics
