Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6A New Electro-Biomembrane Integrated Renewable-Based System To Produce Power, Fresh Water and Hydrogen for Sustainable Communities(Elsevier, 2025) Goren, A. Yagmur; Dincer, Ibrahim; Khalvati, AliAs the consequences of global warming become more severe, it is more crucial than ever to capitalize on all locally accessible potential renewable energy sources and produce sufficient useable energy outputs to meet community demands while causing the least damage to the ecosystem. Therefore, this paper focuses on a unique parabolic trough collector solar system-powered electro-biomembrane unit that combines a heat and power system with fresh water, electricity and hydrogen production. The proposed integrated system contains the following subsystems: a combining parabolic trough collector solar system, an organic Rankine cycle, a steam Rankine cycle, a multi-stage flash desalination system, and an electro-biomembrane H2 and freshwater production system. A thorough analysis and parametric research are performed on the multigeneration system to determine how important characteristics affect system performance and evaluate the energy and exergy efficiencies, and exergy destruction levels for particular system elements. The study results show that solar irradiation is the most critical parameter for improving system performance. The highest freshwater production of 1,303,333.3 L/day is observed at the solar irradiation of 935,768 kWh/day. Furthermore, the combined output of three electricity production technologies exceeds 2,000,000 kWh/day, highlighting the ability of the system to harness solar thermal energy effectively. The study findings indicate that using solar power and biomass as renewable energy sources, the proposed integrated system provided 328.56 kg of biohydrogen per day. Overall, the energy and exergy efficiencies of the integrated system are obtained as 34.3 and 29.5 %, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Hydrogen Production From Energetic Poplar and Waste Sludge by Electrohydrogenesis Using Membraneless Microbial Electrolysis Cells(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Goren, A. Yagmur; Kilicaslan, A. Faruk; Dincer, Ibrahim; Khalvati, AliMembraneless microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are potentially considered to produce biohydrogen (bioH2) in a green manner and simultaneously minimize agricultural and wastewater facility wastes. However, effective, sustainable, and cost-effective system configuration and improvement of operating variables, working at ambient conditions, are needed to make the MEC a sustainable process. Therefore, this study investigates the bioH2 production from poplar leaves and anaerobic sludge mixture by incorporating nanomaterials comprising Al2O3, MgO, and Fe2O3 metal oxides at various dosages. Moreover, the effects of applied cell voltage (0.5-1.5 V) and inoculum amount (20-40 mL) on bioH2 production and organic matter removal performance are evaluated. The maximum bioH2 production value is 417 mL at an applied voltage of 1.5 V with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency of 37.6 % under operating times of 5 min using 40 ml of inoculum. The bioH2 production of the MEC system is reduced with the decrease in inoculum amount. The highest bioH2 production of 828 mL is obtained at improved conditions in the presence of 1 g of Fe2O3 metal oxide. Overall, this study provides the potentiality of simultaneous waste minimization and bioH2 production under ambient conditions that highlight the waste-to-energy pathway for membraneless and green bioelectrochemical process.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 17Cleaner Production of Biohydrogen Using Poplar Leaves: Experimental and Optimization Studies(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Goren, A. Yagmur; Kenez, Muratcan; Dincer, Ibrahim; Khalvati, AliBiohydrogen (bioH2) is recognized as a potential carbon-neutral energy vector, and developing novel methods has received increasing attention with a prime goal of producing H2 more efficient and cost effective manner. This study aimed to develop a unique reactor to investigate dark fermentative H2 production from poplar biomass using commercially available and inexpensive microorganism cultures. Therefore, six factors of the Box-Behnken design (BBD) were performed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of operational param-eters: acid concentration (2-10%), biomass concentration (2-10 g), initial pH (5-8), temperature (30-40 degrees C), mixing ratio (150-350 rpm), and microorganism concentration (2-6 g) on bioH2 production. Among the oper-ational parameters, the acid concentration was the most effective parameter on bioH2 production. The bioH2 production increased from 11.33 to 18.15 mg/g biomass with increasing acid concentration from 6 to 10%. Moreover, the optimum levels of operational variables were as follows: acid concentration of 9.9%, biomass amount of 2 g, pH of 6.56, temperature of 35 degrees C, mixing ratio of 345 rpm, and microorganism amount of 4.5 g for the highest bioH2 production of 20 mg/g-biomass according to the experimental design. Consequently, the bioH2 production performance of the dark fermentation process showed that bioH2 production from poplar biomass using commercially available microorganisms had a competitive advantage.
