Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to improve the hydrogen production rate and energy utilization rate, non-patent literature 1 uses cassava starch as the substrate, uses cow manure composting mixed strains as dark fermentation mixed strains, and uses Rhodobacter sphaeroides as photofermentation strains for dark fermentation. - Light-coupled fermentation for hydrogen production. However, this study uses a single strain of bacteria during photosynthetic fermentation, which requires high regulation of nutritional conditions, growth environment and process parameters. Minor changes in the above process parameters will affect the hydrogen production effect
In addition, the working volume of this research is only 30-40mL, which is too far away from small-scale, pilot-scale research and actual production, and it is difficult to directly scale up or industrialize the hydrogen production process.

Embodiment 1

[0127] Among them, Δt is the increment (h) at time t, and when Δt approaches 0, it is the hydrogen production rate at time t. When calculating the maximum hydrogen production rate, the hydrogen production curve is made according to the total hydrogen production at different times, and then the curve is derived to obtain the hydrogen production rate at different times, and the maximum hydrogen production rate can be obtained accordingly. Embodiment 1: Utilize mixed strain, carry out two-step method fermentation to produce hydrogen to cassava starchy raw material

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomass energy production, and in particular relates to a method for producing hydrogen by using mixed strains to ferment starchy raw materials in two steps. Background technique [0002] The use of fossil fuels will cause global warming, which will have a huge impact on the environment, and hydrogen is generally considered to be an ideal alternative energy source for fossil fuels due to its clean, high-energy and recyclable characteristics. At present, the production of hydrogen by fermentation of biomass feedstock is attracting more and more attention. This is because biomass fermentation can not only provide clean hydrogen energy, but also eliminate environmental pollution caused by biomass organic waste. Its mild reaction conditions and low energy requirements have irreplaceable advantages. [0003] In the field of biomass fermentation hydrogen production, expensive raw material costs and low hydrog...
