    Energy from renewable resources has been growing in popularity, which ultimately helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and contaminants. Since hydrogen (H2) has a higher combustion production of energy than hydrocarbon fuels, it has been identified as a clean, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy source. There are several benefits to producing biohydrogen (bioH2) from renewable sources, including lower cost and increased sustainability. Among the bioH2 production processes, dark fermentation supports commercialization and scale-up for industrial applications. This paper considers the various bioreactors, such as anaerobic sequencing batch, continuous stirred, up-flow, fixed-bed, and membrane reactors, and their operational approaches for bioH2 production. This review paper also performs the bibliometric analysis method to identify historical and current developments in a particular field of reactor configuration studies. Furthermore, the main variables influencing reactor performance and methods for increasing process efficiency considering economic and environmental aspects are addressed. The results revealed that continuously stirred reactors are widely utilized for bioH2 production as a cost-effective reactor configuration. Moreover, the membrane bioreactors and fixed-bed reactors are yielded higher bioH2 performance than other configurations. Nevertheless, high energy consumption and costs have presented the need for further development of reactors. Consequently, future recommendations to solve the critical problems faced in reactor configurations, the gaps in the literature, and the points that need improvement were comprehensively reported. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2025.

    In order to understand the processes occurring in natural hydrothermal systems, it was carried out a series of water-volcanic rock interaction studies in the laboratory and an intermediate volcanic rock samples from geothermal production wells in Tuzla geothermal field (TGF) in western Turkey. A high-pressure autoclave was used to conduct water-rock interaction experiments under similar conditions of the field. Rainwater and seawater were treated with volcanic rocks at 140 degrees C (reservoir temperature) and 4.5 bar pressure. The change in the ionic content of the resulting fluids was examined in terms of the type of volcanic rocks and mineral saturation index. The results indicate that talc and diopside minerals in geothermal systems may cause scaling at high temperatures depending on the geothermal fluid and pH.
