Abstract

The pH is one of the most important factors affecting metabolism pathway and activity of hydrogen producing bacteria. The effect of operational pH on anaerobic hydrogen fermentation of food waste was evaluated at mesophilic condition. In this batch experiment, the initial pH was 8.0 and the operational pH was controlled at 4.7~7.0 by the addition of 5N KOH solutions. At the operational pH of 4.7, the lag phase and the maximum hydrogen production were 47.9h and 534.4 mL, respectively. The lag phase and the maximum hydrogen production were decreased as the operational pH increased. At the operational pH of 7.0, the lag phase and the maximum hydrogen production were 4.2 h and 213.8 mL, respectively.

혐기성 수소 발효시 pH는 물질 대사 경로와 수소 생성 미생물의 활성에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 음식폐기물로부터 운전 pH에 따른 혐기성 회분식수소 발효의 영향을 평가하기 위해 수행하였다. 5 N KOH 용액을 이용하여 초기 pH는 8.0으로 고정하였으며, 운전 pH는 4.7~7.0으로 유지하였다. 운전 pH가 낮을수록 지체 시간은 단축되는 것으로 나타났으며, 최대 수소 발생량은 낮게 나타났다. 운전 pH 4.7일 경우에는 지체 시간이 47.9 h으로 가장 길게 나타났으나, 최대 수소 발생량은 534.4 mL로 가장 높게 나타났다. 운전 pH가 증가함에 따라 지체 시간과 최대 수소 발생량은 감소하였다. 운전 pH 7.0일 경우에는 지체 시간이 4.2 h으로 나타났으며, 최대 수소 발생량은 213.8 mL로 나타났다.
