Abstract

A systematic review of modeling and simulation for biohydrogen production from a wide variety of biomass using different biochemical and thermochemical conversion processes is presented in this study. Research through mathematical modeling and computational simulation approaches such as reaction kinetic modeling, equilibrium modeling, and computational fluid mechanics techniques are reviewed and presented in this study. These models can play an essential role in identifying the optimum operational conditions to produce maximum biohydrogen through fermentation, pyrolysis, and gasification process, and make these processes economically feasible at the industrial level. Moreover, this current study can help scholars to identify the appropriate modeling and simulation approach for their research, based on the type of biomass, desired product, and operating conditions. The detailed comparison and analysis of results can provide a future direction on sustainable and renewable biofuel resources and techniques for the biohydrogen production.
