Sustainable hydrogen production via microalgae: Technological advancements, economic indicators, environmental aspects, challenges, and policy implications. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 244:117815. [PMID: 38048865 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen has emerged as an alternative energy source to meet the increasing global energy demand, depleting fossil fuels and environmental issues resulting from fossil fuel consumption. Microalgae-based biomass is gaining attention as a potential source of hydrogen production due to its green energy carrier properties, high energy content, and carbon-free combustion. This review examines the hydrogen production process from microalgae, including the microalgae cultivation technological process for biomass production, and the three main routes of biomass-to-hydrogen production: thermochemical conversion, photo biological conversion, and electrochemical conversion. The current progress of technological options in the three main routes is presented, with the various strains of microalgae and operating conditions of the processes. Furthermore, the economic and environmental perspectives of biomass-to-hydrogen from microalgae are evaluated, and critical operational parameters are used to assess the feasibility of scaling up biohydrogen production for commercial industrial-scale applications. The key finding is the thermochemical conversion process is the most feasible process for biohydrogen production, compared to the pyrolysis process. In the photobiological and electrochemical process, pure hydrogen can be achieved, but further process development is required to enhance the production yield. In addition, the high production cost is the main challenge in biohydrogen production. The cost of biohydrogen production for direct bio photolysis it cost around $7.24 kg-1; for indirect bio photolysis it costs around $7.54 kg-1 and for fermentation, it costs around $7.61 kg-1. Therefore, comprehensive studies and efforts are required to make biohydrogen production from microalgae applications more economical in the future.

Foods 2023; 12:3884. [PMID: 37959003 PMCID: PMC10649063 DOI: 10.3390/foods12213884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In order to realize the multi-level utilization of marine shellfish resources and to develop the potential biological activity of processing by-products of Atrina pectinata, gelatin was extracted from the mantle and the potential whitening effect of its enzymatic peptides was explored. Taking tyrosinase inhibitory activity as the evaluation index, the enzyme hydrolysate process was optimized by response-surface methodology, and the optimal enzyme hydrolysate conditions were as follows: pH 5.82, 238 min enzyme hydrolysate time, and temperature of 54.5 °C. Under these conditions, the tyrosinase inhibition activity of Atrina pectinata mantle gelatin peptide (APGP) was 88.6% (IC50 of 3.268 ± 0.048 mg/mL). The peptides obtained from the identification were separated by ultrafiltration and LC-MS/MS, and then four new peptides were screened by molecular docking, among which the peptide Tyr-Tyr-Pro (YYP) had the strongest inhibitory effect on tyrosinase with an IC50 value of 1.764 ± 0.025 mM. The molecular-docking results indicated that hydrogen bonding is the main driving force for the interaction of the peptide YYP with tyrosinase. From the Lineweaver-Burk analysis, it could be concluded that YYP is inhibitory to tyrosinase and exhibits a mixed mechanism of inhibition. These results suggest that YYP could be widely used as a tyrosinase inhibitor in whitening foods and pharmaceuticals.

Enhancement on photobiological hydrogen production from corn stalk via reducing hydrogen pressure in bioreactors by way of phased decompression schemes. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 385:129377.

Abstract
In this project, it was verified that properly reducing the bioreactor hydrogen partial pressure (HPP) could significantly enhance the photo-fermentative hydrogen production (PFHP) by corn stalk. The maximal cumulative hydrogen yield (CHY) of 82.37 mL/g was obtained under full decompression to 0.4 bar, which was 35% higher than that without decompression. To increase CHY and save the pressure control cost, 12-hour, 24-hour and 36-hour decompression schemes were provided, and the optimal decompression phase in fermentation under each scheme was investigated. The 12-hour decompression scheme was suitable for 24-36 h of fermentation; the 24-hour decompression scheme implemented within 12-36 h of fermentation had a more desirable CHY; when adopting the 36-hour decompression scheme, operation during 12-48 h yielded a CHY of 81.70 mL/g that approximated whole process decompression. The strategies of decompression at the appropriate phase of fermentation were innovative, which offered a new option for optimizing PFHP economically.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of bioreactor headspace pressure regulation on photo-fermentative hydrogen production (PFHP) from corn stover (CS) was investigated. The results showed that the headspace pressure could significantly affect the performance of PFHP. With the decrease in the reactor headspace pressure (100 kPa-10 kPa), cumulative biohydrogen production firstincreased and then decreased, the maximum hydrogen yield of 546.57 mL was obtained at the headspace pressure of 30 kPa. The parameters of Gompertz model showed a lower hydrogen partial pressure was beneficial to speed up the reaction process and shorten the hydrogen production delay time of the system, however, too low pressure would inhibit the metabolism of microorganisms in the PFHP process, resulting lower hydrogen yield obtained.

Abstract
High concentration nitrogen-containing organic wastewater is a potential substrate for hydrogen production by dark fermentation. In this study, the effect of initial pH on the performance of hydrogen production by dark fermentation coupled denitrification was investigated. The hydrogen production, liquid metabolites, nitrate, nitrite and microbial community were monitored under the condition of pH varying from 4 to 11. Results showed that the highest hydrogen production (70.94 ± 4.750 mL/g VSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate (37.13 ± 1.86%) and nitrate reduction rate (1.57 ± 0.27 mg/L/h) were obtained at pH of 5. Under this condition, the nitrate was mainly reduced to N2 with hydrogen as the electron donor. When the initial pH was 6-11, nitrate mainly reduced to N2 through co-action with acetate. Microbial community analysis revealed that as the initial pH increased from 4 to 11, the main hydrogen-producing microorganisms were gradually converted from Clostridium sensu stricto 12 sp. into Clostridium sensu stricto 1 sp, which leaded to changes in the hydrogen production process.

Abstract
Microalgae have evolved into a promising sustainable source of a wide range of compounds, including protein, carbohydrates, biomass, vitamins, animal feed, and cosmetic products. The process of extraction of intracellular composites in the microalgae industry is largely determined by the microalgal species, cultivation methods, cell wall disruption techniques, and extraction strategies. Various techniques have been applied to disrupt the cell wall and recover the intracellular molecules from microalgae, including non-mechanical, mechanical, and combined methods. A comprehensive understanding of the cell disruption processes in each method is essential to improve the efficiency of current technologies and further development of new methods in this field. In this review, an overview of microalgal cell disruption techniques and an analysis of their performance and challenges are provided. A number of studies on cell disruption and microalgae extraction are examined in order to highlight the key challenges facing the field of microalgae and their future prospects. In addition, the amount of product recovery for each species of microalgae and the important parameters for each technique are discussed. Finally, pulsed electric field (PEF)-assisted treatments, which are becoming an attractive option due to their simplicity and effectiveness in extracting microalgae compounds, are discussed in detail.
