What do you understand by the term Dark Fermentation'? (1) It is a method to dispose nu-clear wastes. (2) It is a method to produce methane from organic wastes. (3) It is a method to reduce COD in the atmosphere. (4) It is a method to produce Hydrogen as a fuel from waste water.

1 Answer

Answer :

(4) It is a method to produce Hydrogen as a fuel from waste water. Explanation: Dark fermentation is the fermentative conversion of organic substrate to bio-hydrogen. It is a complex process manifested by diverse groups of bacteria, involving a series of biochemical reactions using three steps similar to anaerobic conversion. Wastewater is used as a potential substrate for bio-hydrogen production in the dark fermentation process.
