    Abstract:
    Co-digestion of substrates can improve hydrogen yield (HY) by adjusting carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N) of fermentation substrates. This study evaluated the enhancement of hydrogen production from co-digestion of duckweed and corn straw via photo-fermentation. The maximum HY of 78.0 mL/g Total solid (TS) was obtained from the mixed ratio of 5:1 (C/N of 13.2), which was 25.4% and 29.6% higher than those of single substrate of duckweed and corn straw, respectively. The effects of initial pH and inoculation volume ratio (IVR) on co-digestion photo-fermentative hydrogen production (CD-PFHP) from duckweed and corn straw were further studied. A maximum HY of 85.6 mL/g TS was achieved under the optimal condition (initial pH 8, IVR 20%, mix ratio of duckweed and corn straw of 5:1). Additionally, both mix ratio and initial pH showed statistical difference (p < 0.05). Acetic acid and butyric acid were found to be the main metabolic by-products during CD-PFHP.
