Integrated biorefinery routes of biohydrogen: Possible utilization of acidogenic fermentative effluent.
Biohydrogen production and integration possibilities are vital towards hydrogen economy and sustainability of the environment. Acidogenic fermentation is acquiring great interest and it is one of the prime pathways to produce biohydrogen and short chain carboxylic acids. In addition to hydrogen recovery, simultaneously nearly 60 percent of the organics may get converted to ethanol, 1,3propanediol and organic acids. Besides, these organics (fermentative effluents) can be used indirectly as a raw material for the generation of value- added products such as biolipid, polyhydroxyalkanoates, excess hydrogen, methane and electrical energy recovery. In this regard, this review has been assessed as a valuable biorefinery for biofuel and value- added products recovery. The biorefinery can be used to minimize entire cost of the approach by obtaining extra profits.
