Abstract

The impact of nickel and cobalt oxide nanoparticles (NPs) additive to palm oil mill effluent (POME) on hydrogen production was investigated using different Ni/Co oxide NPs-ratio. The Ni/Co oxide NPs-ratio of 1:0, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3 and 0:1 was added in batch mode operation. Experimental results suggested the H2 production dependency on the Ni/Co oxide NPs-ratio. The Ni/Co oxide NPs-ratio of 3:1 had better performance with the cumulative H2 and H2 production rate of 2844 mLH2 and 45 mL H2/h, respectively. This increased by ~37% and ~14, respectively in compared with the controlled one. The maximum CODremoval efficiency of 74% was observed at 3:1, which accounted for ~45% increment. These results suggested the improved performance of Bio-H2 can be fulfilled by additive of proper Ni/Co oxide NPs-ratio to the POME.
