A novel polyethylene glycol (PEG) gel was fabricated and used as a carrier to immobilize Clostridium sp. LS2 for continuous hydrogen production in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) was used as the substrate carbon source. The optimal amount of PEG-immob...
