Abstract:The effect of NaCl on the fermentation process of kitchen wastes was indicated by adding different concentration of NaCl,gas production yield,intermediate metabolite,enzyme activity were analyzed during the biogas process.The results show that adding low concentration of NaCl had little influence on gas production,but adding high concentration of NaCl had obviously inhibition on the anaerobic fermentation.Biogas production of kitchen waste by anaerobic fermentation remained unchanged in adding concentration of 2 g/L NaCl,while it promoted 7.5% gas production by adding 5 g/L NaCl.Gas production was reduced by 17%,24%,51% by the adding NaCl concentration was 10,20,30 g/L,which compared to the control.The data of fitting parameters by adding NaCl concentration 5 g/L indicated that the correlation coefficient R2of the methanogenic process with Cheynoweth equation was 0.991,the methane production B0 was 399 mL/g VS and the reaction rate of constant k was 0.114 d-1.High NaCl concentration lead to the accumulation of total acid and propionic acid concentration.The experiment found that adding concentration of 20、30 g/L NaCl was severely restrained dehydrogenase enzyme activity.When adding NaCl concentration was 10、 20、30 g/L,dehydrogenase activity lose 15%,55%,60%,respectivly.
