Resumen:

This chapter focuses on the production of biohydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells (MEC). MEC is an attractive technology that can simultaneously remove organics and produce biohydrogen gas. Theoretical aspects related to MEC systems are reviewed. Parameters affecting the MEC performance, such as cell architecture, membranes, inoculum, and microorganisms developed, are discussed. In addition, the influence of the anode and cathode materials is analyzed. MEC performances for biohydrogen production under different types of anolytes and catholytes are presented. Finally, future needs are considered for the practical application of this technology. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
