Dark Fermentative Hydrogen Production from Spent Coff ee Grounds Hydrolysate by Clostridium butyricum
Abstract
This study used spent coff ee grounds (SCGs) as a substrate for biohydrogen production. Acid hydrolysis of SCGs was
conducted under conditions of 0.5–1.0% H 2 SO 4 and 10–20% solid/liquid ratio. The optimal conditions were 130 °C, 1.0%
H 2 SO 4 (w/w), 10% S/L ratio (w/w), 1 h, with obtaining total sugar concentration of 26.8 g/L. Dark fermentation yielded
125.8-mL hydrogen, corresponding to 34.7% and 65.5%, respectively, compared to mannose and galactose-based synthetic
conditions. This was validated using spent coff ee ground hydrolysate (SCGH) as a substrate for biohydrogen generation.
Additionally, magnetite was added to the SCGH media to increase the hydrogen yield. Therefore, the sugar consumption,
hydrogen production, and the yield increased by 13.6%, 35.7%, and 18.8%, respectively, compared with the negative control.
