Bio-hydrogen production through dark fermentation of corn wastes / Mohamad Hidayat Haider

The objective of this study was to investigate biohydrogen production under parameters such as pH, temperature, and catalyst using corn wastes as substrate and cow dung as inoculum. The sample of inoculum and substrate was collected at corn farm near Tanjung Karang, Kuala Selangor. The collected sam...

The sample of inoculum and substrate was collected at corn farm near Tanjung Karang, Kuala Selangor. The collected sample was clean with tap water, air dry for 1-2 days.

The characterization of inoculum and substrate was recorded in percentage of total solids, volatile solids, with carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen content. During characterization, the total solid (TS) and volatile solids (VS) in cow dung were 16.93% and 74.9%, respectively.
