The mechanisms of pH regulation on promoting volatile fatty acids production from kitchen waste
The anaerobic acid production experiments were conducted with the pretreated kitchen waste under pH adjustment.The results showed that pH 8 was considered to be the most suitable condition for acid production,especially for the formation of acetic acid and pro-pionic acid.The average value of total volatile fatty acid at pH 8 was 8814 mg COD/L,1.5 times of that under blank condition.The average yield of acetic acid and propionic acid was 3302 mg COD/L and 2891 mg COD/L,respectively.The activities of key functional enzymes such as phosphotransacetylase,acetokinase,oxaloacetate transcarboxylase and succinyl-coA transferase were all enhanced.To further explore the regulatory mechanisms within the system,the distribution of microorganisms at different levels in the fermentation sys-tem was obtained by microbial sequencing,results indicating that the relative abundances of Clostridiales,Bacteroidales,Chloroflexi,Clostridium,Bacteroidetes and Propionibacteriales,which were great contributors for the hydrolysis and acidification,increased rapidly at pH 8 com-pared with the blank group.Besides,the proportion of genes encoding key enzymes was generally increased,which further verified the mechanism of hydrolytic acidification and acetic acid production of organic matter under pH regulation.
