Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of erythritol preparation, and particularly relates to a continuous membrane filtration system and a filtration method for erythritol fermentation liquid. Background Art

[0002] Erythritol is a bulk sweetener, a four-carbon sugar alcohol with a molecular formula of C4H 10 O4 is a white crystalline powder with a mild cool feeling when dissolved in the mouth. The sweetness of erythritol is about 70% of sucrose. Since it is non-hygroscopic, it has good fluidity. Erythritol has been widely used in food, beverage and other industries due to its low calorie, good stability and no caries. At present, the industrial preparation method of erythritol is mostly to use glucose as raw material through microbial fermentation, and then separate and purify the fermentation broth through various separation and purification processes to obtain the finished erythritol.

[0003] Separation and purification of erythritol from fermentation broth first requires membrane processing. For example, patent No. 200710115541.9 discloses a method for separation and purification of erythritol from fermentation broth, the purification process includes fermentation broth bacterial separation, fermentation broth clarification and preliminary purification, fermentation broth decolorization and purification, fermentation broth concentration crystallization and recrystallization to prepare pure erythritol, etc., using ceramic membrane to remove protein and other impurities with large molecular weight, and using nanofiltration separation to introduce separation and purification of erythritol, which can save decolorization and ion exchange processes and reduce sewage discharge, but the patent has the problems of low extraction efficiency, large amount of water added, and large fluctuation of discharge concentration. Patent No. ZL201710820906.1 discloses a method for continuous extraction of erythritol. Through ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, diafiltration, concentration, evaporation and crystallization, impurities in the erythritol solution are removed, the content and transmittance of erythritol are increased, and the yield reaches 99%. However, this patent adopts a post-ultrafiltration water washing process, which consumes a large amount of water. At the same time, the permeates of each level of ultrafiltration are collected into nanofiltration separately, and all are collected into the subsequent evaporation process. The discharge concentration is low and the evaporation energy consumption is large. Summary of the invention

The permeate water obtained by reverse osmosis membrane filtration in step 3 is recycled to the ceramic membrane middle filtration group, the ceramic membrane rear filtration group, the nanofiltration membrane middle filtration group and the nanofiltration membrane rear filtration group, respectively, for use as water for washing the ceramic membrane and the nanofiltration membrane.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the continuous membrane filtration system and filtration method of the erythritol fermentation broth of the present invention have the following characteristics:

[0012] (1) A continuous membrane filtration process is adopted, which is simple to operate and fully automatic. A ceramic membrane is used to remove mycelium and visible protein impurities in the erythritol fermentation broth, and a nanofiltration membrane is used to remove pigment impurities in the erythritol fermentation broth. The erythritol content can be increased from 93% to 95% to more than 97% to 99%, and the transmittance is more than 90%. The yields of the continuous ceramic membrane filtration subsystem and the continuous nanofiltration membrane filtration subsystem are both above 99%, which is at least 2% higher than the existing technology.

[0013] (2) According to the concentration difference between the effluent from the ceramic membrane and the nanofiltration dialysis, the dialysis fluids of various concentrations are collected and utilized respectively. The high-concentration dialysis fluid directly enters the next process, the medium-concentration dialysis fluid is collected and then enters the continuous reverse osmosis membrane concentration subsystem, and then returns to the previous process after concentration. The low-concentration dialysis fluid is directly recycled and used, which effectively ensures the stability of the effluent from the erythritol fermentation liquid after filtration through the ceramic membrane and the nanofiltration membrane, solves the problem of large fluctuations in the effluent concentration caused by the dialysis process of the ceramic membrane and the nanofiltration membrane, ensures the stability of the subsequent process operation, reduces the amount of subsequent evaporation water, and reduces the operating cost.
