Produzione di H2 e CH4 da frazioni biodegradabili di rifiuti urbani e da siero lattiero-caseario

description: Nowadays one of the main technical tasks is finding clean and renewable energy sources in order to overtake the dependence from fossil fuels. Bio-hydrogen and bio-methane production are considered interesting energetic alternatives, especially if the biological processes are applied to low cost and widely available substrates such as biodegradable wastes. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a well-known technology to manage organic waste in an environmentally sustainable way, since it allows to achieve a certain level of stabilization of the organic matter and to exploit the energetic potential of the substrate; AD of biodegradable organic residues has therefore received renewed attention by the scientific and technical community over the last decades (Mata-Alvarez et al., 2000; Mata-Alvarez, 2002; De Baere, 2003; Bolzonella et al., 2006; Karagiannidis and Perkoulidis, 2009). If degradation of biodegradable organic substrates is appropriately operated in a two-staged mode (see e.g., Han and Shin, 2004a; Liu et al., 2006; Gómez et al., 2006, 2009; Ueno et al., 2007; Chu et al., 2008; Wang and Zhao, 2009; Lee et al., 2010b; Dong et al., 2011), separation of the acidogenic phase (producing through dark fermentation (DF) hydrogen and carbon dioxide as the gaseous products while releasing volatile fatty acids into the liquid solution) from the methanogenic stage (in which the residual and dissolved biodegradable organic matter from the first stage is finally converted into methane and carbon dioxide) can be accomplished. By means of the separation of the two biological phases, it is possible to obtain hydrogen besides methane gas, both to be exploited with various techniques. Considering the energetic aspect, combined H2 + CH4 production is, from a theoretical point of view, more favourable than conventional anaerobic digestion (Dong et al., 2011). Hydrogen gas, in particular, is considered a clean energy carrier characterized by the highest energy content per unit weight of an…
