STUDIES ON EVALUATION OF SURFACTANT COUPLED SONICATION PRETREATMENT ON ULVA FASCIATA (MARINE MACROALGAE) FOR ENHANCED BIOHYDROGEN PRODUCTION

Biohydrogen production from marine macroalgal biomass by advanced pre-treatment strategies is considered a clean energy technology.The present study focuses on investigating the effects of sonication pre-treatment (SP) and saponin coupled sonic pre-treatment (SSP) on Ulva fasciata for enhancing the production of biohydrogen.The SP and SSP were opti
