Abstract:

In the chapter, results of dark fermentation of sour cabbage of concentration 2 and 10 g/L in presence of oxygen with concentrations 0-10% are presented. In initial value of pH 6.05, concentration of oxygen between 2% to 9% inhibits methanogesis (and methane production more than 2 times) and increases hydrogen production 6 times. It also shortens the fermentation process above 40% in comparison with anaerobic processes. Other interesting case is that low pH and low oxygen concentration were found low, 0.05%, but stable occurrence of ethylene in produced biogas.
