Hydrogen production by dark fermentation process from pig manure, cocoa mucilage, and coffee mucilage

J. Rangel Carol et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the influence of temperature, initial organic load, and C/N ratio on the biochemical hydrogen potential of mixtures derived from Colombian agro-industry. The results showed that the best mixing conditions at 55°C and 45°C had a C/N ratio of 45 and a CFM:CCM ratio close to 1:3. Additionally, the study found that the optimal organic load was 8 g COD/l at 55°C and 2 g COD/l at 45°C, with CFM:CCM having less influence on the outcomes.
