Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for evaporative concentration of mother liquor resource, belonging to the technical field of high organic matter concentrated brine resource utilization. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the bio-fermentation industry, fermentation process is the core step for producing various biological products (such as enzymes, antibiotics, organic acids, amino acids, etc.), and the subsequent processing steps are crucial for the purity and final yield of the products. After fermentation, the fermentation broth contains the target product as well as a large amount of unutilized nutrients, microbial cells, metabolic products and soluble impurities. In order to extract and purify the target product, a series of complex downstream processing techniques are usually adopted, among which product concentration and crystallization is an indispensable step.

[0003] The product concentration and crystallization process mainly removes water from the fermentation broth through evaporation, osmotic pressure adjustment or membrane separation, so that the target product reaches a supersaturated state and then crystallizes. However, a large amount of concentrated mother liquor is produced in this process, which has greatly reduced water content but is still rich in various complex components, mainly including high-concentration proteins, incomplete separation of cell debris, residual nutrients and a large amount of inorganic salts (such as sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, etc.).

[0004] The presence of these components poses great challenges to the treatment of concentrated mother liquor. First, high-concentration proteins not only occupy a large amount of resources, but also may cause problems such as pipeline blockage and equipment corrosion, affecting the smooth progress of subsequent processing. Second, the presence of cell debris and other organic impurities increases the difficulty and cost of wastewater treatment, as they are difficult to be effectively removed in traditional wastewater treatment processes.

[0005] Therefore, how to efficiently, economically and environmentally treat these fermentation concentrated mother liquor has become a technical problem to be solved in the bio-fermentation industry. For the treatment of evaporated concentrated mother liquor, early evaporation pond natural evaporation was widely used to achieve near-zero emission. However, the evaporation pond process not only occupies a large amount of land, but also produces solid salt which is classified as hazardous waste, with high disposal cost. In the field of hazardous waste treatment, the concentrated mother liquor after evaporation is currently mainly treated by incineration in the incineration system. However, the incineration system cannot handle a large amount of concentrated liquid, and it brings a lot of load to the downstream disposal system.

[0006] Currently, researchers are actively exploring various methods, such as resource utilization (such as extracting valuable bioactive substances, preparing fertilizers or feed additives), deep treatment (such as advanced oxidation, membrane separation technology for further purification) and reuse technology (such as being reused in the fermentation process after appropriate treatment), in order to maximize the utilization of resources and minimize the discharge of waste, and to promote the green upgrading and sustainable development of the bio-fermentation industry.

[0048] The present application relates to a method for resource utilization of evaporation concentrated mother liquor, specifically, through inorganic membrane method to remove solid impurities, to realize the preliminary purification of evaporation concentrated mother liquor, and then into the freezing crystallization system for crystallization, and the crystallization of sodium sulfate ten water is dissolved, and then electrolyzed by bipolar membrane to produce sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid, and then used in the front-end process, and finally realize the resource utilization method of evaporation concentrated mother liquor.

[0051] The words "comprise", "comprising", "include", "including", "have", "has", "contain", "containing", or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The percentages described in the present application are mass percentages unless otherwise specified.

[0052] In the evaporation concentrated mother liquor that can be treated, the following examples 1-4 are treated with the waste brine produced after the fermentation liquid in the biological medicine fermentation industry is concentrated and crystallized.

[0053] In the fermentation process, microorganisms will use the substrate for metabolic activity, producing various metabolites, including water, carbon dioxide, organic acids, alcohols, etc. Among them, some metabolites may exist in the form of salt, such as lactic acid produced in the lactic acid fermentation process can combine with sodium ions to form sodium lactate, thereby increasing the salinity of the fermentation broth. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the fermentation process, it is necessary to control certain fermentation conditions, such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, etc. In some cases, in order to adjust these conditions, a certain amount of salt (such as sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, etc.) may be added to the fermentation broth, which will remain in the fermentation broth after fermentation and form waste brine. The raw materials used in fermentation may contain a certain amount of salt, which will gradually dissolve in the fermentation broth during fermentation and form waste brine. After fermentation, the fermentation broth needs to be separated, purified, etc. to obtain the final product. In this process, a certain amount of wastewater may be produced, which contains waste brine produced during fermentation. If these waste waters are directly discharged into the environment, not only will it cause resource waste, but it may also pollute the environment.

[0054] The wastewater obtained after evaporation and concentration, which mainly contains sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, and contains protein, the main components in the evaporation and concentration mother liquor are NaCl 10-60g / L, Mg 2+ 0.01-0.5g / L, Ca 2+ 0.01-0.5g / L, COD 1000-20000mg / L, Na2SO420-120g / L, protein 20-200mg / L. The salt concentration can be determined by ICP method, COD is determined by method, and protein content is determined by coomassie method.

[0055] The concentrated mother liquor here is first filtered through a ceramic membrane device, which removes most of the protein, cell debris and suspended solids in the concentrated mother liquor. The ceramic membrane used here has an average pore size of 0.002μm~1μm, or a molecular weight cut-off of 10000~5000000Da, and an operating pressure range of 0.05-0.5Mpa. The filtration is carried out at a cross-flow velocity of 1-10m / s.

[0056] Since the protein content in the evaporation concentrated mother liquor is higher than that in the fermentation liquor, and protein is the main cause of irreversible pollution of ceramic membrane (protein is easy to form a gel layer on the surface of the membrane, and is difficult to remove by backwashing), in the present application, by adding filter aid (such as diatomite, perlite, cellulose, asbestos, graphite powder, sawdust, magnesium oxide, gypsum, activated carbon, acid clay) in the evaporation concentrated mother liquor, a filter cake layer is formed on the surface of the ceramic membrane by the filter aid, which can effectively prevent the gelation of protein on the surface of the ceramic membrane. The concentration of the filter aid added in the solution can be controlled at 0.5-5%. After the addition of the filter aid, the inhibition of irreversible pollution of the membrane during backwashing, the present application is based on the following assumptions to construct a model for irreversible pollution: if the backwashing frequency is too high, the filter cake layer formed on the surface is unstable, and if the backwashing frequency is too low, gelation gradually occurs; the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in the feed liquid also promotes the generation of protein gelation; too high concentration of protein makes irreversible pollution more likely to occur; after the addition of a certain amount of filter aid, the membrane layer can be protected and irreversible pollution can be inhibited; on this basis, a prediction method for irreversible pollution of ceramic membrane in the process of ceramic membrane filtration of concentrated mother liquor containing filter aid is constructed. The following prediction equation is used: R%=α*F 2 -β* F-γ*Ln(H+δ) / (1+ε*P) +ζ. Wherein, F refers to the backwashing frequency (min), P refers to the filter aid concentration (%), H refers to the calcium and magnesium ion concentration (g / L), and α / β / γ / δ / ε / ζ are parameters. The irreversible pollution in the present application refers to the percentage decrease in the original flux after 30-90min of pure water cross-flow flushing after the filtration is completed.

[0057] After ceramic membrane filtration, the permeate of the ceramic membrane is sent to a freeze crystallization device to obtain mirabilite. The operation conditions of the freeze crystallization device can refer to the existing technology. The process of separating sodium sulfate and sodium chloride in the mixed salt solution and making sodium sulfate crystallize is mainly based on the difference in solubility of the two salts under different conditions and the common ion effect in the solution. The solubility of sodium chloride (NaCl) increases with the increase of temperature, but the increase is not large, that is, the solubility of sodium chloride is relatively small. The solubility of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) increases with the increase of temperature when the temperature is less than 40 degrees Celsius, but when the temperature is greater than 40 degrees Celsius, the solubility decreases with the increase of temperature. This characteristic makes the solubility of sodium sulfate decrease at high temperature, so it is easier to precipitate from the solution. In the mixed salt solution, when the ion concentration of one salt increases, the dissolution of other salts with the same ion will be inhibited. In the mixed solution of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, with the increase of the concentration of sodium chloride, the concentration of chloride ions and sodium ions in the solution increases, which will inhibit the dissolution of sodium sulfate to some extent, so that it is easier to precipitate in the form of crystals. By heating the mixed salt solution, the water in the solution can be evaporated, thereby increasing the concentration of the solution. Because the solubility of sodium sulfate decreases at high temperature, during the heating process, sodium sulfate is more likely to reach a supersaturated state and precipitate crystals. The solubility of sodium sulfate decreases at high temperature, while the solubility of sodium chloride changes little. This difference in solubility makes it easier for sodium sulfate to precipitate from the solution than sodium chloride during the heating process. In the actual crystallization process, the crystallization process can be optimized by controlling the evaporation temperature, evaporation rate, stirring intensity and other parameters to make the crystallization of sodium sulfate more sufficient and pure. For example, when using MVR evaporator for evaporation crystallization, micro-negative pressure operation and continuous crystallizer system can be used to realize the separation of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride, thereby further improving the purity and yield of the product. The temperature control of the freeze crystallization device is -10℃~10℃, and more preferably 0~2℃.

[0058] The dissolved sodium sulfate decahydrate enters the bipolar membrane electrolysis device to obtain sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. The preferred operating parameters of the bipolar membrane device electrolysis are: the operating voltage is 1-200V, the current is 1-250A, and the feeding pressure is 0.02-0.2MPa. The membrane material is selected from one or a combination of PVC, PEEK, PES, PET, PVDF, etc.

[0059] The concentrated solution obtained in the ceramic membrane filtration process or the mother liquor obtained in the crystallization of sodium sulfate can be subjected to spray drying treatment as solid waste treatment.

Irreversible fouling in ceramic membrane filtration is predicted and calculated using the following formula: Irreversible fouling as a percentage R = 0.06 × F 2 -3.53× F-5.94×Ln(H+0.12) / (1+0.12×P) +72.03; F refers to the backwash frequency in min, P refers to the filter aid concentration in %, and H refers to the calcium and magnesium ion concentration in g / L; the irreversible contamination refers to the percentage decrease in flux compared to the original flux after filtration and cross-flow rinsing with pure water for 30-90 min. Irreversible contamination was determined under the following filtration conditions: total calcium and magnesium ion concentration of 0.01-0.20 g / L, calcium-magnesium mass ratio of 3-8:1, filter aid dosage of 0.2-5%, backwash frequency of 10-50 min, continuous filtration time of 100-300 min, backwash pressure of 0.5-1.5 MPa, backwash time of 5-20 s, filtration pressure of 0.2-0.4 MPa, and cross-flow velocity of 2-5 m / s.
