ВЛИЯНИЕ КОНЦЕНТРАЦИИ МЕЛАССЫ НА СИНТЕЗ БИОВОДОРОДА И РОСТ БАКТЕРИАЛЬНОЙ МАССЫ

Abstract

This article examines the effect of different molasses concentrations on biohydrogen synthesis and bacterial biomass growth. The main objective of the study was to determine the optimal molasses concentration that ensures maximum hydrogen production. A statistical analysis of the experimental results was conducted. The analysis showed that bacterial biomass growth also depends on molasses concentration, with the highest hydrogen release observed at 4% molasses concentration, while increasing the concentration to 10% inhibited this process. The optimal balance between hydrogen production and biomass growth depends on the process conditions. The results indicate that selecting the right substrate concentration can significantly enhance the efficiency of biotechnological processes for biohydrogen production. The obtained formulas allow for the prediction of hydrogen yield at different molasses concentrations, which may be useful for process optimization.
