Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the biochemical mechanism determines that the energy recovery efficiency and organic matter utilization rate of anaerobic fermentation of organic waste are low, because the anaerobic fermentation of organic matter is accompanied by organic acid by-products such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and valeric acid. The above-mentioned by-products cannot be further converted into hydrogen under the same conditions, but are accumulated in organic wastewater. On the one hand, the energy stored in organic matter cannot be fully recovered, and the accumulation of organic acids will cause hydrogen production in anaerobic fermentation. Cause feedback inhibition. In addition, the presence of organic acids will cause secondary pollution, and the advanced treatment of organic waste cannot be realized.
[0004] Chinese patent 200910011663.2 discloses a method of using a biofuel cell reactor to produce hydrogen and generate electricity. Can either

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic waste treatment and clean energy development, and specifically relates to a method and device for co-producing hydrogen and electricity from organic waste. technical background [0002] It is an indisputable fact that the excessive development and utilization of fossil fuels have caused global warming, acid rain, and the destruction and degradation of the ecological environment, and fossil fuels are also facing a situation of exhaustion. Therefore, based on environmental and energy considerations, humans urgently need a kind of pollution-free Of renewable energy. Hydrogen energy is an ideal clean and renewable alternative fuel. After it is burned, only water is produced and there are no other greenhouse gases. It can be directly and efficiently converted into electricity through fuel cells. Considering environmental issues, the use of various organic wastes (organic wastewater and solid organic waste) for biolo...
