Effect of Localized Temperature Difference on Hydrogen Fermentation
In a lab-scale bioreactor system, (20 L of effective volume in our study) controlling a constant temperature inside bioreactor with a total volume 25 L is a simple process, whereas it is a complicated process in the actual full-scale system. There might exist a localized temperature difference insid...

In a lab-scale bioreactor system, (20 L of effective volume in our study) controlling a constant temperature inside bioreactor with a total volume 25 L is a simple process, whereas it is a complicated process in the actual full-scale system. There might exist a localized temperature difference inside the reactor, affecting bioenergy yield. In the present work, the temperature at the middle layer of bioreactor was controlled at 35 °C, while the temperature at top and bottom of bioreactor was controlled at 35 ± 0.1, ±1.5, ±3.0, and ±5.0 °C. The H<sub>2</sub> yield of 1.50 mol H<sub>2</sub>/mol hexose<sub>added</sub> was achieved at ±0.1 and ±1.5 °C, while it dropped to 1.27 and 0.98 mol H<sub>2</sub>/mol hexose<sub>added</sub> at ±3.0 and ±5.0 °C, respectively, with an increased lactate production.
