Abstract

Many researchers are interested in utilizing renewable and sustainable energy made by exoelectrogenic bacteria during electrodialysis for the separation of minerals and organic matters from aqueous environments. The aim of this study was to develop a novel thermophilic fermenter and dual anion exchange membrane bioelectrochemical system for separating biohydrogen production inhibitors from the thermophilic fermenter and thereby increasing biological and cathodic hydrogen production by food waste and wastewater. • Using this innovative system the biohydrogen production inhibitors were separated and nutrients (for example ammonium), alkalinity, buffering capacity and pH were preserved in the bioreactor at the same time, led to higher biological and cathodic hydrogen production. © 2022
