The invention discloses a dark fermentation-light fermentation coupled biological hydrogen preparing process. According to the dark fermentation-light fermentation coupled biological hydrogen preparing process, a bipolar membrane electrodialysis unit is added behind a dark fermentation reactor, the components of the outgoing water obtained after dark fermentation are separated, thus the concentrated acetic acid is obtained, after pH regulation, the concentrated acetic acid is taken as incoming water of a light fermentation reactor, and meanwhile, the not utilized substrate is recycled and returns to the dark fermentation reactor to be reutilized. The product inhibition at the dark fermentation hydrogen production stage can be relieved, the pH of a fermentation system is controlled to be within the optimal range, the substrate is effectively recycled and reutilized, the total utilization ratio of the substrate is improved, the optimal substrate, namely, acetic acid is provided for the light fermentation hydrogen production stage, NH<4+> in the outgoing water obtained by dark fermentation is removed, then the inhibiting for the dinitrogenase of light fermentation bacteria is relieved, meanwhile, the interception and separation for the dark fermentation bacteria are completed, and the steps including centrifugalization, filtering and sterilization of the original process are replaced; the optimal hydrogen production conditions are provided for the dark fermentation and light fermentation stages, and the two-step coupled hydrogen production efficiency adopting the dark fermentation bacteria and the light fermentation bacteria is improved.
