Permeation properties of polymeric membranes for biohydrogen purification
Abstract(#br)Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), generated from the oil extraction process, possesses high Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). POME can be treated in an efficient bioreactor under controlled conditions to produce high value biohydrogen mixture containing CO 2. The H 2 existence in the valuable gas mixture (in a reasonable quantity) could be used as a clean energy source for renewable energy i.e., in hydrogen fuel cell. CO 2 presence in fuel cell causes CO 2 poisoning and affects its performance.
