Process for producing hydrogen by using scenedesmus obliquus and fungi in synergy
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a process for producing hydrogen by using scenedesmus obliquus and fungi in a synergistic manner.
Background
With the development of industrialization and the improvement of the living standard of human beings, the utilization of fossil energy is increased year by year, on one hand, the utilization causes serious environmental pollution, and on the other hand, the fossil energy is non-renewable. Therefore, it is urgent to find a clean and efficient renewable new energy source. Compared with other energy substances, hydrogen has a series of advantages of rich resources, small density, light weight, convenience in transportation, various utilization forms, wide application, high combustion value, cleanness, renewability, water generation after combustion and the like, so that the hydrogen is considered to be the most potential environment-friendly renewable energy source in the future society. With the further development of fuel cell technology, the direct conversion of hydrogen energy into electric energy can be completely realized, and the research on hydrogen production technology has great development potential. Thus, many countries around the world have invested a great deal of research expenditures for the development of hydrogen energy.
At present, the preparation of hydrogen mainly comprises the steps of preparing hydrogen by using fossil raw materials, preparing hydrogen by electrolyzing water, preparing hydrogen by organisms and the like. However, at present, hydrogen generation mainly depends on two ways, namely thermochemistry and photoelectrochemistry, which are not only expensive in production cost, large in energy requirement and serious in environmental pollution, but also emit a large amount of greenhouse gases, so that the method is non-environment-friendly, and the former needs to consume a large amount of valuable non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and the like: the latter is high in consumption
The amount of electrical energy comes at a cost. In order to enable the hydrogen to be widely applied in the future, the key point is to establish a method for efficiently, simply, quickly and sustainably preparing the hydrogen. Therefore, making hydrogen a clean, renewable energy source in future society faces great challenges. Therefore, the preparation of hydrogen by using low-cost and renewable biomass resources as raw materials is receiving much attention.
Bio-hydrogen production is a new technology with such characteristics. The biological hydrogen-producing group mainly comprises: photosynthetic organisms (anaerobic photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria, and green algae), non-photosynthetic organisms (strictly photosynthetic bacteria, facultative anaerobic bacteria, and aerobic bacteria), and archaeal flora. Because the hydrogen production mechanisms are different, the potential application value of the method is also evaluated differently. Currently, the research of biohydrogen production mainly focuses on photosynthetic bacteria and microalgae. Although the photosynthetic bacteria do not emit oxygen when hydrogen is emitted, the solar energy cannot be directly utilized to produce hydrogen; meanwhile, the application range of the organic matter for hydrogen production is limited due to factors such as the production area and the quantity of the organic matter, and the like, so that the hydrogen source is difficult to provide for human beings on a large scale. The hydrogen production of microalgae (blue algae and green algae) is realized by decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen by using solar energy through a photosynthesis system and a special hydrogen producing enzyme, so that the hydrogen production method has a good application prospect.
The blue algae and the green algae are different in enzyme for catalyzing hydrogen production, the blue algae is nitrogen fixation enzyme for catalyzing hydrogen production, and energy ATP is consumed in the hydrogen production process, so that the overall hydrogen production efficiency is low. The reversible hydrogen-producing enzyme for catalyzing hydrogen production in green algae takes solar energy as energy and water as raw materials, and the theoretical quantum efficiency of catalyzing hydrogen production is high, so that the research on hydrogen production by green algae is most likely to become the subject of hydrogen production research in the future. Because the hydrogen production mechanisms of green algae are different, more high-hydrogen-yield algae species are obtained, and the hydrogen discharge characteristics of the algae species are researched. The hydrogenase of green algae is extremely sensitive to oxygen and is easily inhibited by oxygen to lose activity, and the oxygen is a specific product of photosynthesis, so that the hydrogen production efficiency of the green algae is low, and the development of the hydrogen production of the green algae is limited to a great extent, so that the content of oxygen in cells of the green algae needs to be reduced when the hydrogen production of the green algae is improved. At present, the method for reducing the oxygen content mainly comprises the steps of removing sulfur elements in a culture medium, so that the oxygen release activity of a photosynthetic system is inhibited, and the oxygen content generated by water photolysis is reduced. Therefore, to improve the hydrogen production efficiency of algae, the amount of oxygen in cells is reduced while ensuring the normal supply of electrons.
