Hydroxyapatite (HA) had the effect of maintaining the pH balance of the reaction system and promoting enzyme activity. In this work, hydroxyapatite was synthesized by coprecipitation and characterized for biohydrogen (bioH) production from glucose. The highest bioH yield obtained was 182.

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET), which does not involve dissolved redox media, is considered an alternative and superior method to enhance methane production by interspecific hydrogen (H) transfer (IHT). In this study, nickel foam was built into a semicontinuous anaerobic reactor to investigate its effect on the metabolism of propionate and butyrate.
