Problems solved by technology

But in the fermentation process, the accumulation of a large amount of metabolites ABE (acetone, butanol, ethanol) in the fermentation process produces serious inhibitory effect on the fermentation process, the activity of the enzyme is weakened, and the thalline is dead, so it has a strong impact on the production of the total solvent of ABE. Rate
In addition, for the genera...

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for separating acetone, butanol and ethanol in situ by coupling biomass fermentation and pervaporation. A pervaporation separation process is coupled with a fermentation process, and ABE (acetone, butanol and ethanol) solvents produced by fermentation are removed in situ and in time through a pervaporation film, so inhibiting effects of the ABE solvents produced in the fermentation process on the growth of microbial cells are greatly reduced and production intensity and efficiency of ABE fermentation are enhanced. Simultaneously, compared with an ordinary rectification process, the process also greatly lowers energy consumption for separating the ABE solvents produced by biomass fermentation, shortens production time and greatly lowers production cost of fuel butanol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for in-situ separation of acetone, butanol and ethanol from metabolites ABE in a fermentation process, in particular to a process for in-situ separation of acetone, butanol and ethanol by coupling pervaporation and biomass fermentation. Background technique [0002] In the past two decades, due to the shortage and depletion of chemical energy sources, butanol, a biomass fuel prepared by fermentation of biomass, is considered to be a promising renewable energy source. But in the fermentation process, the accumulation of a large amount of metabolites ABE (acetone, butanol, ethanol) in the fermentation process has a serious inhibitory effect on the fermentation process, the activity of the enzyme is weakened, and the thalline is dead, so it seriously affects the production of the total solvent of ABE. Rate. In addition, for the general ABE batch fermentation process, the mass concentration of ABE in the fermenter will n...
