Problems solved by technology

However, there are two common problems in the titration method reported in the previous literature.
One is to stir during the titration process, the dissolved CO in the sample 2 Due to the CO in the air 2 Balance, there is more or less a certain loss, which leads to the change of total inorganic carbon in the sample, which makes the measurement accuracy drop; second, in order to reduce the interference of other weak acid-base (such as phosphoric acid, etc.) buffer systems in the solution, it is often necessary to Determine its concentration, which undoubtedly increases the complexity of the experiment

Abstract

The invention provides a method for rapidly determining volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration in an anaerobic reactor. According to the invention, according to charge balance and final-initial volumes of a solution requiring detection when two different pH points are established, the relationship between VFA and pH is calculated; and through an acid titration method, VFA concentration of the solution requiring detection can be calculated. The invention provides a method for rapidly determining volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration in the anaerobic reactor. The method is fast, stable, accurate, simple, and the like. With the method, defects such as rough method and poor accuracy of a colorimetric method and a distillation method are solved, and defects of high cost and complicated operation of a chromatographic method are avoided. With the method, VFA rapid and precise on-line detection can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater biological treatment, in particular to a method for quickly measuring the concentration of volatile fatty acids in an anaerobic reactor. Background technique [0002] Volatile fatty acid (VFA) refers to fatty acids with 1-6 carbon atoms, mainly acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid in urban sewage / sludge. The normal operation of the anaerobic process requires that the acid production and methanogenesis of the system are in a dynamic balance to maintain a constant pH in the reactor (6.6-7.4). Otherwise, the accumulation of VFA will cause the pH value to be too low and cause the system to fail. Due to the existence of various buffer systems in the anaerobic reactor, the buffering effect made the accumulation of VFA to a certain extent unable to be reflected in time on the pH. Therefore, rapid and accurate measurement of VFA concentration has become a more effective method for anaerobic r...
