Embodiment 1

[0061] condition test

[0062] A. Sedimentation test of inorganic salt flocculant

[0063] In this test, the itaconic acid fermentation broth was subjected to a sedimentation test with various inorganic flocculants.

[0064] Since the composition of itaconic acid fermentation broth is quite complex, there are not only a variety of small molecule salts and organic acids, but also many solid impurities that can cause membrane blockage, so if only the microfiltration process is used for preliminary separation, the microfiltration membrane is easy Severe fouling will cause serious attenuation of filtration rate and decrease the service life of the membrane. Therefore, when purifying itaconic acid from fermentation broth, pretreatment is required to reduce solid impurities. In this test, four common inorganic salts CaCl 2 , AlCl 3 with FeCl 3 as a flocculant.

[0065] After the fermentation broth was adjusted to an appropriate pH value, 1 ml of flocculant solution of approp...

[0110] Purification of itaconic acid from itaconic acid fermentation broth

[0111] A.Process overview

[0112] The flow chart of itaconic acid purification is as follows: figure 2 shown. see figure 2 . 1 liter of fermented broth with an original pH value of about 6-7, using 6M H 2 SO 4 Adjust its pH value to 3 (step 201). Then add 2M FeCl 3 The solution is pre-treated (step 203) and stirred evenly at room temperature. After standing for several hours, it is centrifuged to obtain the supernatant (step 205). Aqueous solution of itaconic acid reduces the loss of itaconic acid. Then, the itaconic acid solution continues to be ultra-filtered to remove small molecular solid impurities (step 209). The pH value of the filtrate is adjusted to be less than 5.2 (step 211) and then purified and concentrated by thin film extraction (step 213). Afterwards, concentrate the purified itaconic acid solution (optional), and then adjust the pH value of the solution (step 215), then d...

[0159] Recovery of Succinic Acid in Membrane System

[0160] The combination of kerosene / D2EHPA / Aliquat336 was used as the extractant, and the mixed solution of 2M NaOH and 5M NaCl was used as the back-extraction phase to carry out thin film extraction on the feedstock containing 58.7g / L succinic acid fermentation broth. The results are shown in Table 14.

[0161] Table 14: Thin film extraction of succinic acid

[0162]

[0163] The results showed that 90.4% of succinic acid could be recovered by thin film extraction. Also, the recovery benefits of itaconic acid and succinic acid in thin film extraction are as follows: Figure 4 shown. Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that in the thin film extraction process, if the appropriate conditions are matched, more than 90% of the target organic acid can be recovered within four hours of operation.

[0164] Also, the succinic acid fermentation broth was purified in the same purification procedure as shown in Example 2. in ac...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for purifying an organic acid, comprising: (a) adding an inorganic flocculant to a fermentation broth containing an organic acid to form a mixture; (b) subjecting the mixture to a centrifugation procedure to obtain a supernatant and a precipitate, Wherein the organic acid is located in the supernatant; (c) subjecting the supernatant to a thin film extraction procedure to obtain an extract, wherein the thin film extraction procedure comprises: (i) performing an oil phase extraction on the supernatant with an oil phase to form an oil phase extraction product; and (ii) performing back extraction of the oil phase extraction product with a back extraction phase to form the extract, wherein during the back extraction, the pH value of the back extraction phase is adjusted so that in the forming at least one carboxyl moiety of the organic acid in the extract in a carboxyl salt state; and (d) subjecting the extract to a crystallization procedure to obtain crystals of the organic acid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for purifying organic acids, and in particular to a method for purifying organic acids produced by a fermentation process. Background technique [0002] There are two main ways to synthesize organic acids, namely chemical method and biological technology. The biotechnology synthesis method mainly uses microorganisms to convert carbon sources into organic acids through fermentation. However, the concentration of organic acids produced by fermentation is low, with many and complex impurities, and contains various organic acids and other by-products, so it is not easy to establish a simple and low-cost purification process. [0003] In addition, the organic acid fermentation broth contains microorganisms, unused carbon sources, suspended solids, various proteins, alcohols, and other organic acids, so it usually undergoes a series of filtration procedures to separate solid-liquid Separation to remove most of the ...
