Problems solved by technology

However, the existing enzymatic ethanol production process often adopts the method of high temperature sterilization-saccharification (enzyme hydrolysis)-high temperature inactivation of enzymes-ethanol fermentation, the process route is long, and high-temperature saccharification and inactivation of enzymes is a waste of energy

Embodiment 1

[0011] Mix the crushed food waste with the distillation residue (or canteen waste water) at a ratio of 1:1, and use sterilized or non-sterilized methods, add 6kU of glucoamylase and 6% of yeast to 100g of waste, Maintain the fermentation temperature at 31°C, carry out ethanol fermentation in a closed fermentation shaker flask, and obtain a fermentation liquid containing 7% ethanol; ethanol purification: control the temperature of the fermentation liquid containing 7% ethanol at 80°C for distillation; after ethanol distillation The mash is centrifuged, and the residual liquid after centrifugation is reused in the food waste fermentation system to adjust the solid-liquid ratio for ethanol fermentation; the residue after centrifugation contains 85% water, which can be directly used as feed to feed livestock; or added to absorb water such as bran It is a non-toxic material, which can be dried and granulated to produce granular protein feed. The cost of raw materials is significant...

Embodiment 2

[0013] Mix the pulverized food waste and distillation residue (or canteen waste water) at a ratio of 1:0.5, after sterilization, add 10kU of glucoamylase and 10% yeast to 100g of waste, and ferment in a closed container at 35°C Fermented in shake flasks for 60 hours to prepare a fermented liquid containing 10.2% ethanol. Since food waste is rich in starches and other high-molecular carbohydrates that yeast cannot directly use, adding glucoamylase during fermentation can liquefy and saccharify the starch in the waste into polysaccharides or monosaccharides that yeast can use. Under the same process conditions as above, the experiment of fermentation without saccharification enzyme or fermentation after saccharification was carried out, and the results are shown in Table 1. The concentration of ethanol produced by the fermentation of kitchen waste without adding glucoamylase is less than 0.5%, which shows that glucoamylase effectively promotes the production of ethanol. The con...

Embodiment 3

[0017] According to Table 2, four fermentation methods are set up: A, B, C, and D. The fermentation substrate is prepared by mixing the crushed kitchen waste and distillation raffinate (or canteen waste water) at a ratio of 1:0.5, and 100g of waste is added with 10kU Glucoamylase and 10% saccharomyces were fermented in a closed fermentation shaker flask at 35°C for 60 hours. The results are shown in Table 2. Both B and D are fermented with non-sterilized ethanol, and no high-temperature sterilization of the fermentation substrate is required. Compared with the sterilized fermentation methods of A and C, the ethanol concentration in the fermentation liquid is almost the same, which shows that the non-sterilized fermentation is suitable for the process of producing fuel ethanol by fermentation of kitchen waste. The pH of the system was 4-5 at the beginning of the fermentation, and the lower pH also avoided bacterial contamination, and the pH dropped to about 4 after the ferment...

Abstract

This invention discloses a method of producing fuel alcohol by cupboard garbage fermentation, belonging to organic chemistry filed, especially relating to a method of producing fuel alcohol by kitchen garbage fermentation. This invention attained by the following steps: (1)cupboard garbage comminution; (2) saccharification fermentation without sterilizing simultaneously; (3)refining alcohol; (4) reclaiming distilled raffinate; (5)remainder as bait vessel. The invention has the following advantages: without needing fermenting substrate by megatemperature, steaming saccharification , strict sterile operating conditions, and any additional nutrition in the course of fermentation, which save energy expenditure and operation cost; Instead of traditional technology of saccharifying ahead and then fermenting, making the course of fermentation finished to save investment cost of equipment; Reclaiming distilled raffinate and fermenting remainder as bait vessel make the process of production not to produce secondary pollution. Nutrient-rich cupboard garbage used in this invention takes place of traditional alimentary crop, establishing raw material superiority for widespread utilization of alcohol as substitutive energy source, meanwhile, developing a new way of changing cupboard garbage into resource, which is of simple operation, economy and environment protection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic chemistry, in particular to a method for producing fuel ethanol by fermenting kitchen waste. Background technique [0002] Kitchen waste is food waste discarded by households and catering industries. It is a kind of solid waste formed in the process of people's daily consumption. It accounts for a large proportion of urban domestic waste. In some cities in my country, the proportion of kitchen waste to domestic waste is : Beijing 37%, Tianjin 54%, Shanghai 59%, Shenyang 62%, Shenzhen 57%, Guangzhou 57%, Jinan 41%. Because of its high water content, it is not suitable for incineration, landfill is easy to rot and smell, and produces a large amount of leachate that is difficult to handle; and because of its high salt content, the application of compost is limited. At present, there are some reports on resource utilization technologies such as methane fermentation of food waste, lactic acid fermentation, biolo...
