Abstract

In this study EL-Salam canal water was used as substrate for Bio-hydrogen production in microbial electrolysis (MECs) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and without addition of bacteria. The highest hydrogen yield was 31.18 % and the highest volume of Bio-H2 production was 51.1 cm3 from Salam canal water at the anode chamber 500 ml with power supply 0.8 V without addition of Pseudomonas aeruginosaATCC 27853. While the highest hydrogen yield was 75.29% and the highest volume of Bio-H2 was 148.25 cm3 production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853from EL-Salam canal water at the anode chamber 500 ml with power supply 0.4 V.
