Abstract

Biological hydrogen production processes are more environment-friendly and less energy intensive than thermochemical and electrochemical processes. The biological process can be divided into two categories: photosynthetic hydrogen production and hydrogen production by dark fermentation. Photosynthetic process produces hydrogen mainly from water and reduces $CO_2$ simultaneously. Dark fermentation is a dark and anaerobic process that produces hydrogen by fermentative bacteria from organic carbon. The article presents a survey of biological hydrogen production processes.

생물학적 수소생산 공정은 다른 열화학적 공정이나 전기화학적 공정에 비하여 환경친화적이며 에너지를 덜 소모하는 공정이다. 생물학적 수소생산 공정은 크게 두 가지로 구별할 수 있는데, 광합성에 의한 수소생산과 혐기발효에 의한 수소생산이 그것이다. 광합성에 의한 수소생산 공정은 주로 물로부터 수소를 생산하고 동시에 공기 중의 이산화탄소도 저감하는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 혐기발효에 의한 수소생산 공정은 유기 탄소원을 섭취하는 박테리아에 의한 발효를 통해 이루어지는 공정이다. 본 논문에서는 생물학적 수소생산 공정에 대한 그간의 연구들에 대하여 살펴 보았다.
