| Abstract: | The present invention relates to a Microbial-bio-electrochemical reactor (M-BEC) for enhanced bio-H2 production. More particularly, the present invention relates to a reactor for the removal of biodegradable contaminants from wastewater using biological processes. The developed system is intrinsically coupled the dark fermentation with microbial-electrochemical process together into a next generation bio-reactor which employs biocatalyst to convert chemical energy stored in organics to hydrogen energy. The coupled M-BEC technology has developed to aimed towards the enhancement of the metabolic activity of electrochemically active biocatalyst by supplying organic/inorganic nutrients, electron acceptors, or donors, which felicitate the electro-hydrogenesis in a membrane less single cell reactor for bio- Hydrogen (green H2) production. The present invention also relates to a process for treatment of contaminated water which contains a large amount of biodegradable suspended solids and high concentrations of BOD and COD and enables bio-hydrogen generation with simultaneous removal of biodegradable TSS from wastewater. |
