Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of L-cystine production technology, in particular to an environmentally friendly production technology of L-cystine. Background Art
[0002] Cystine is a natural, non-essential amino acid, chemically known as "alanine." It is a colorless, odorless crystalline solid with high solubility in water. As an important amino acid, cystine has multiple functions and effects. It not only plays an important physiological function in the human body, but also has broad application potential in the fields of medicine, health care, and beauty.
[0003] In the existing cystine production process, the fermentation liquid produced is mostly roughly filtered during the production process. Excessive impurities still remain in the filtered fermentation liquid. During the process of heating and concentrating the fermentation liquid, the impurities in the fermentation liquid can easily cause blockage of the infusion tube on the equipment, affecting the production efficiency. Moreover, the impurities after filtering usually contain a small amount of production raw materials. Directly discarding them will cause waste and is not conducive to environmental protection.

The decolorized liquid is poured into a concentration device for concentration and crystallization. The concentrated crystals are separated and dried to obtain L-cystine with high purity.
[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the resin in S3 is treated by repeatedly soaking and washing the resin with deionized water for 5-10 times, then soaking it in a saturated NaCl solution for 30-40 hours, and then soaking it in a 3mol / L-4mol / L'HCl solution and a 3mol / L-4mol / L'NaOH solution for 5-10 times, each time for about 5-10 hours, and then washing it with distilled water until neutral for use.
[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: when the deionized water is used to soak the resin, the deionized water needs to be heated to 30 degrees and 40 degrees.
[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a step of producing L-cystine from the protein in S3;
[0014] A1. Proteins are hydrolyzed under the action of acids, alkalis or enzymes, breaking them down into smaller polypeptides and eventually into amino acids.
[0015] A2. L-cystine is extracted from the various amino acids and other small molecules contained in the hydrolyzed mixture through separation and purification technology to obtain Solution B;
[0016] A3. Adjust the pH value of solution B, then pour the pH-adjusted solution B into a concentration device and heat it for concentration and crystallization, separate the concentrated crystals, and dry the separated crystals.

[0018] As a further solution of the present invention: the separation and purification in A2 are respectively: filtration precipitation, ion exchange chromatography and solvent extraction.
