Process for producing 1,3-propylene glycol by microorganism aerobic fermentation

Abstract

The present invention provides microbial aerobic fermentation process of producing 1, 3-propylene glycol, and belongs to the field of biochemical technology. Seed liquid is first added into industrial glycerin or initial fermentation culture medium of glycerin fermenting liquid with glycerin concentration of 20-50 g / L, and under fermentation condition of 30-40 deg.c, the culture medium is fermented with PDO producing Klebsiella pneumoniae or acid producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to produce PDO. During fermentation, air in 0.2-1.0 vvm is led in, the fermented matter is stirred in 50-250 rpm, glycerin and sodium hydroxide in certain amount are added to maintain certain glycerin concentration. The present invention has the advantages of lowered investment and power consumption, raised final PDO concentration, raised production strength and increased bacteria biomass.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biochemical industry, in particular to a method for producing 1,3-propanediol by microbial aerobic fermentation. Background technique

[0002] 1,3-Propanediol (PDO) is an important chemical raw material, which can be used as an organic solvent in ink, printing and dyeing, paint, lubricant, antifreeze and other industries. The most important use of 1,3-propanediol is as a monomer for polyester and polyurethane synthesis, especially polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), which is polymerized with terephthalic acid, shows a ratio of 1,2- Polymers synthesized from propylene glycol, butanediol, and ethylene glycol have better performance. At present, the world consumes tens of millions of tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) every year, and the chemical stability and biodegradability of PTT are comparable to PET, but the pollution resistance, toughness, resilience and UV resistance, etc. more superior.
