An efficient hydrogen production process via thermophilic fermentation of cornstalk was developed by Clostridium thermocellum 7072. The hydrogen fermentation process was successfully scaled from a 125 mL anaerobic bottle to a 100 L continuous stirred-tank reactor, and the hydrogen production from cornstalk was significantly improved in the bioreactor system because of good mixing and mass transfer. The hydrogen yield in the 100 L continuous stirred-tank reactor reached 61.4 mL/g of cornstalk, which was higher than that in the 125 mL anaerobic bottle. The present work indicated that direct microbial conversion of lignocellulosic waste via C. thermocellum was a promising avenue for biohyclrogen production.
