Hydrogen Production By Anaerobic Fermentation Using Agricultural And Food Processing Wastes Utilizing A Two-Stage Digestion System, Reese S. Thompson
Hydrogen Production By Anaerobic Fermentation Using Agricultural And Food Processing Wastes Utilizing A Two-Stage Digestion System, Reese S. Thompson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Hydrogen production by means of anaerobic fermentation was researched utilizing three different substrates. Synthetic wastewater, dairy manure, and cheese whey were combined together at different concentrations under batch anaerobic conditions to determine the optimal hydrogen producing potential and waste treatment of each. Cheese whey at a concentration of 55% was combined with dairy manure at a concentration of 45% to produce 1.53 liters of hydrogen per liter of substrate. These results are significant because the control, synthetic wastewater, which was a glucose-based substrate, produced less hydrogen, 1.34 liters per liter of substrate, than the mixture of cheese whey and dairy …
Hydrogen Production Using Geothermal Energy, Theodore Wayne Hand
Hydrogen Production Using Geothermal Energy, Theodore Wayne Hand
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
With an ever-increasing need to find alternative fuels to curb the use of oil in the world, many sources have been identified as alternative fuels. One of these sources is hydrogen. Hydrogen can be produced through an electro-chemical process. The objective of this report is to model an electrochemical process and determine gains and or losses in efficiency of the process by increasing or decreasing the temperature of the feed water. In order to make the process environmentally conscience, electricity from a geothermal plant will be used to power the electrolyzer. Using the renewable energy makes the process of producing …
