Methods for inhibiting the anaerobic production of volatile fatty acids and hydrogen by bacteria

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for predicting and inhibiting the production and accumulation of metabolites by bacteria having hydrolytic fermentation ability in an anaerobic environment. The method comprises the steps of monitoring the presence of hydrogen and acetate in the anaerobic environment and the steps of monitoring the presence of hydrogen and acetate in the anaerobic environment in order to inhibit bacterial growth in the anaerobic environment and subsequent production and accumulation of bacterial metabolites by the bacteria And adding an electron accepting agent. This method is particularly suitable for inhibiting bacterial growth in paper mills to prevent the accumulation of by-products, especially paper mill industrial water and paper products, which are hydrolytically fermentable in paper mills, and accumulation of volatile fatty acids and hydrogen.
