Production of Hydrogen from Post-consumer Wastes

At present, the commercial production of hydrogen is essentially carried out by catalytic steam reforming of hydrocarbons: natural gas and naphtha. However, the instability of the prices of natural gas makes the use of other raw materials increasingly attractive. This research focuses on the development of a technology for producing hydrogen from alternative resources, specifically from two typ...

Fermentative Hydrogen Production from Food-industry Wastes

Τhis study focuses on the exploitation of food-industry wastes as a source for hydrogen production. The wastes which were used were out of date solid baby foods at seven different flavors (solid wastes) and a glucose-based syrup (liquid waste). Preliminary batch hydrogen experiments at mesophilic conditions and initial carbohydrates concentration of 5 g/L were performed to assess the hydrogen p...

Biotechnological Production of Xylitol from Agro-Industrial Wastes

Xylitol is a polyalcohol of five carbon atoms which is widely used in the food and chemical industry. Its interest is due to the sweetening power similar to that of sucrose. However, it has been shown that the use of xylitol as a sweetener is better due to its anticariogenecity, tooth rehardening and remineralization properties. It is suitable as sugar substitute for diabetics, and it limits th...
