This research work aimed about the enhanced bio-hydrogen production from marine macro algal biomass (Ulva reticulate) through surfactant induced microwave disintegration (SIMD). Microwave disintegration (MD) was performed by varying the power from 90 to 630 W and time from 0 to 40 min. The maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD) solubilisation of 27.9% was achieved for MD at the optimal power (40%). A surfactant, ammonium dodecyl sulphate (ADS) is introduced in optimal power of MD which enhanced the solubilisation to 34.2% at 0.0035 g ADS/g TS dosage. The combined SIMD pretreatment significantly reduce the treatment time and increases the COD solubilisation when compared to MD. Maximum hydrogen yield of 54.9 mL H2 /g COD was observed for SIMD than other samples. In energy analysis, it was identified that SIMD was energy efficient process compared to others since SIMD achieved energy ratio of 1.04 which is higher than MD (0.38).
