AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for treating food waste have problems such as large land occupation, serious environmental pollution, low resource utilization and high hydrogen production costs. In particular, there are few reports on the fermentation of food waste into hydrogen in a UASB reactor.
The method employs selective enrichment of hydrogen-producing bacteria in an acidophilic microenvironment. By inoculating the bacteria into homogenized perishable waste, hydrogen is produced through fermentation in the dark. The process utilizes activated sludge shaking culture, heat shock treatment, and pH adjustment to form a sludge-water mixture, which inhibits the growth of methanogens and promotes the enrichment and stable hydrogen production of the hydrogen-producing bacteria.
It achieves efficient and stable hydrogen production in the dark, and the hydrogen can be used as fuel for traditional fuel cells, generating pollution-free electricity with an efficiency of up to 50%. It also makes resource-efficient use of kitchen waste and reduces environmental pollution.
