Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide gas was removed in a 2-dimensional gas-lift reactor b y the photosynthetic microorganism Chlorobium thiosulfatophilum using light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a light source. LEDs saved light energ y by 99% compared with the incandescent light source. The plate-type g as-lift reactor removed hydrogen sulfide five times better per unit mg of protein, and performed two times better in the maximum performance per unit luminous flux, compared with cylindrical fermenters.
