| Abstract: | The effects of pH control on the process of acetone/butanol/ethanol (ABE) production in batch cultures of Clostridium acetobutylicum XY16 have been investigated. Based on the specific acid- and solvent-forming rates in batch fermentation at different pH values (from 4.3 to 6.0), a two-stage controlled-pH strategy was developed in which the pH was shifted from 5.5 to 4.9 after a dry cell weight of 0.5 g L(-1) was achieved. By applying this strategy, the maximum ABE concentration and productivity reached 20.3 g L(-1) and 0.63 g L(-1) h (-1), and were significantly improved by 12.2 and 40.1 %, respectively, compared with the process with no pH control. In addition, reducing power capability was significantly enhanced by this strategy. The two-stage controlled-pH strategy was a convenient and rapid method for high intensity ABE production. |
