Abstract

This paper deals withexperimental tests on dark fermentation(DF)carried out withdifferent powered Fe°concentrations. The anaerobic corrosion(AC)of Fe° and the production of H2through fermentation, were tested separately, whiletests with Fe°supplement on DFat 1 g/L and 2 g/L of Fe°were conducted to ascertain synergic effects. Results of the Röels approach ofrelaxation times (τR)suggested that Fe°ACand DF areconcurrent phenomena. Apositive synergiceffectwas experimentally verified: H2productionincreasedof44% thanthe control test and of 35% compared with summation effect of ACand DF. In addition,Fe° supplementprovokes decreases of CO2yield of 56% in the case of2 g/L of Fe°addition.This is in agreement with literature references,whichadvance the enzymatic activity enhancement due to the action of S-Fe clustersofPyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR) enzymeto shift electronstowards hydrogenases.
