【Abstract】 Selective production of kitchen wastes by anaerobic acidogenesis with pH control was examined in the present study. It has been stated that anaerobic acidogenesis is regarded as the first step in anaerobic digestion of soluble organic materials to methane and CO2. Many kinds of bacteria are involved in the acidogenesis, subsequently, several kinds of organic acids and alcohol are usually produced. Since composition of organic acids in the medium influences the quality of biodegradable kitchen wastes by fermentation, it is important to control the product spectrum during anaerobic acidogenesis. The results in this study showed that the product spectrum in the acidic reactor was strongly depended on cultural pH. Acetic and formic acid were the main products under different cultural pH, while propionic acid was apparently produced under the basic condition, and the butyric acid was examined obviously under acidic and neutral conditions. The change in main products was caused by change in the dominant microbial populations, from butyric acid-producing bacteria to propionic acid-producing bacteria in the acid reactor due to pH shift. Additionally, the optimum pH was found to be 7, under which, the production rate of VFA was 35.1 g VFA/L, and remove rate of TS was 65.3%. The control of cultural pH was considered to be a useful way in controlling product spectrum in the anaerobic acid reactor.更多还原
