The effect of pH control (4, 5, 6, 7) on volatile fatty acids (VFA) production from food waste was investigated in a leach bed reactor (LBR) operated at 50°C. Stabilisation of pH at 7 resulted in hydrolysis yield of 530g soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD)/kg total volatile solids (TVS) added and VFA yield of 247gCOD/kg TVS added, which were highest among all pH tested. Butyric acid dominated the VFA mix (49-54%) at pH of 7 and 6, while acetate composed the primary VFA (41-56%) at pH of 4 and 5. A metabolic shift towards lactic acid production was observed at pH of 5. Improving leachate recirculation rate further improved the hydrolysis and degradation efficiency by 10-16% and the acidification yield to 340gCOD/kgTVS added. The butyric acid concentration of 16.8g/L obtained at neutral pH conditions is among the highest reported in literature.
在 50°C 下运行的沥滤床反应器 (LBR) 中,研究了 pH 值控制(4、5、6、7)对食物垃圾中挥发性脂肪酸 (VFA) 生成的影响。将 pH 值稳定在 7 时,水解产率为 530g 可溶性化学需氧量 (sCOD)/kg 总挥发性固体 (TVS) 添加,VFA 产率为 247gCOD/kg TVS 添加,在所有测试的 pH 值中最高。在 pH 值为 7 和 6 时,丁酸占 VFA 混合物的主导地位(49-54%),而在 pH 值为 4 和 5 时,乙酸是主要的 VFA(41-56%)。在 pH 值为 5 时,观察到向乳酸生产的代谢转变。进一步提高渗滤液再循环率可将水解和降解效率提高 10-16%,酸化产率提高到 340gCOD/kgTVS 添加。在中性 pH 值条件下获得的 16.8g/L 丁酸浓度在文献中报道的最高浓度之列。
