Résumé

Owing to its inhibitory effect on microbial growth, soap present in crude glycerol (CG) is a concern in biological valorization of the biodiesel manufacturing waste. By salting out strategy, up to 42% of the soap has been removed and the approach has beneficial effect on H₂ production; however, removal of more than 7% of the soap was found to be inhibitory. Actually, soap is utilized as a co-substrate and due to removal; the carbon–nitrogen ratio of the medium might have decreased to reduce the production. Alternatively, without changing the carbon–nitrogen ratio of CG, MgSO₄ treatment can convert the soap to its inactive form (scum). The approach was found to increase the H₂ production rate (33.82%), cumulative H₂ production (34.70%) as well as glycerol utilization (nearly 2.5-folds). Additionally, the treatment can increase the Mg (a nutrient) content of the medium from 0.57 ppm to 201.92 ppm.
