생물학적 수소생산 공정은 다른 열화학적 공정이나 전기화학적 공정에 비하여 환경친화적이며 에너지를 덜 소모하는 공정이다. 생물학적 수소생산 공정은 크게 두 가지로 구별할 수 있는데, 광합성에 의한 수소생산과 혐기발효에 의한 수소생산이 그것이다. 광합성에 의한 수소생산 공정은 주로 물로부터 수소를 생산하고 동시에 공기 중의 이산화탄소도 저감하는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 혐기발효에 의한 수소생산 공정은 유기 탄소원을 섭취하는 박테리아에 의한 발효를 통해 이루어지는 공정이다. 본 논문에서는 생물학적 수소생산 공정에 대한 그간의 연구들에 대하여 살펴 보았다.

화석연료가 고갈되어 감에 따라 사람들은 이를 대처할 수 있는 대체에너지를 찾기 시작했다. 이 대체 에너지는 환경 친화적이며 재생 가능해야 된다는 단서가 붙는데 그 중 가장 많은 주목을 받은 것이 수소이다. 현재 수소는 다양한 방법으로 생산되고 있는데 생물학적으로 수소를 생산하는 방법이 가장 환경 친화적인 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 아직 생물학적으로 수소를 생산하는 방법은 아직 상업화하기엔 경쟁력이 많이 부족하기 때문에 많은 연구자들이 바이오 수소 생산 방법과 그 생산성 및 생산수율을 높이기 위하여 노력하고 있다. 본 고에서는 생물학적 수소생산의 다양한 개발 접근방법들의 진행 추이를 정리하였다.

In this study, Anaerobic sewage sludge in a batch reactor operation at $35^\circ{C}$ was used as the seed to investigate the effect of pretreatments of waste activated sludge and to evaluate its hydrogen production potential by anaerobic fermentation. Various pretreatments including physical, chemical and biological means were conducted to utilize for substrate. As a result, SCODcr of alkali and mechanical treatment was 15 and 12 times enhanced, compared with a supernatant of activated sludge. And SCODcr was 2 time increase after re-treatment with biological hydrolysis. Those were shown that sequential hybridized treatment of sludge by chemical & biological methods to conform hydrogen production potential in bath experiments. When buffer solution was added to the activated sludge, hydrogen production potential increased as compare with no addition. Combination of alkali and mechanical treatment was higher in hydrogen production potential than other treatments.

The effect of an electrochemically generated oxidation-reduction potential and electric pulse on ethanol production and growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 26603 was experimented and compared with effects of electron mediators (neutral red, benzyl viologen, and thionine), chemical oxidants (hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite), chemical reductants (sulfite and nitrite), oxygen, and hydrogen. The oxidation (anodic) and reduction (cathodic) potential and electric pulse activated ethanol production and growth, and changed the total soluble protein pattern of the test strain. Neutral red electrochemically reduced activated ethanol production and growth of the test strain, but benzyl viologen and thionine did not. Nitrite inhibited ethanol production but did not influence growth of the test strain. Hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, and sulfite did not influence ethanol production and growth of the test strain. Hydrogen and oxygen also did not influence the growth and ethanol production. It shows that the test strain may perceive electrochemically generated oxidation-reduction potential and electric pulse as an environmental factor.

Among biological hydrogen production processes, fermentative processes have some advantages. In this research, the hydrogen producing bacterium was isolated from domestic landfill area and identified as Enterobacter sp. The strain was named Enterobacter sp. SNU-1453. Important parameters for the hydrogen process include pH, temperature, concentration of initial glucose, and kind of sugars. The pH of the culture medium significantly decreased as fermentation proceeded due to the accumulation of various organic acids, and this inhibited the $H_2$ production seriously. When pH was controlled at pH 7.0, hydrogen production was 2614.5 m1/1 in 17 hours. The increase of glucose concentration resulted in higher $H_2$ production. The productivity of this strain was 6.87 mmol $H_2/l$ per hi on concentration of 25g glucose/l. Enterobacter sp. SNU-1453 could utilize various sugars. These results indicate that Enterobacter sp. SNU-1453 has a high potential as a fermentative $H_2$ producer.

The effect of pH on anaerobic hydrogen production was investigated under various pH conditions ranging from pH 3 to 10. When the modified Gompertz equation was applied to the statistical analysis of the experimental data, the hydrogen production potential and specific hydrogen production rate at pH 5 were 1,182 ml and 112.5 ml/g biomass-h, respectively. In this experiment, the maximum theoretical hydrogen conversion ratio was 22.56%. The Haldane equation model was used to find the optimum pH for hydrogen production and the maximum specific hydrogen production rate. The optimum pH predicted by this model is 5.5 and the maximum specific hydrogen production rate is 119.6 ml/g VSS-h. These data fit well with the experimented data($r^2=0.98$).

가정쓰레기 매립지 토양에서 분리된 Enterobacter sp. SNU-1453은 Enteric bacteria에 속하는 종(species)으로서 혐기 발효 시 효과적으로 수소를 생산하였다. 이러한 fermentative bacteria는 여러 가지 외부 요인에 의해 다른 metabolism을 나타내어 수소생산량에 영향을 준다. 혐기 발효가 진행됨에 따라 배지의 pH가 급격히 감소하여 미생물 성장과 수소생산에 영향을 미치므로, pH에 따른 metabolism변화를 관찰함으로써 수소생산을 극대화하기 위한 최적 pH 조건을 선정하여 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 수소생산에 대한 pH의 효과 및 pH 제어에 따른 metabolic flux를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 이 분리 균주는 매우 넓은 영역의 pH(4-7.5)에서도 수소를 생산하였으며, pH 7에서 가장 높은 수소생산량을 나타내었다. pH 7로의 제어는 butanediol pathway로부터 수소 생산에 더 유리한 mixed acid fermentation pathway로 metabolic flux를 변화시킴을 알 수 있었다.
