Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the concentrated phase treatment of erythritol nanofiltration membranes, and more specifically, to a method for reusing the concentrated phase of erythritol nanofiltration membranes. Background Art
[0002] During the production of erythritol by the fermentation method, nanofiltration membrane filtration is an important separation and purification step. The nanofiltration membrane has a specific cut-off molecular weight, generally 200 - 1000 daltons. When the erythritol fermentation broth is eluted and filtered through the nanofiltration membrane, the part of the liquid that is retained by the nanofiltration membrane and cannot pass through the membrane forms the concentrated phase of the nanofiltration membrane; it contains macromolecular impurities that are not completely retained by the ceramic membrane in the fermentation broth, such as proteins, reducing sugars, etc., and also includes some pigments and organic impurities with relatively large molecular weights. Among them, the reducing sugars include maltose, maltotriose, etc. that are not saccharified into glucose during the starch sugar production process. The presence of these impurities will affect the purity and quality of erythritol. If not effectively treated, it may have an adverse impact on subsequent processes such as crystallization, such as causing difficult crystallization and poor crystal quality. Some inorganic salts in the fermentation broth will also be enriched in the concentrated phase of the nanofiltration membrane. If these salts enter the subsequent erythritol products, they will affect the purity and taste of the products, and may also cause harm such as corrosion to the production equipment.
[0003] The concentrated phase of erythritol nanofiltration membranes is generally treated as waste sewage. Due to its high COD and conductivity, it often impacts the sewage treatment system and also causes waste of reducing sugars and erythritol.
[0004] Therefore, providing a method for reusing the concentrated phase of erythritol nanofiltration membranes is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

By adding activated carbon for filtration and decolorization, and using an ion exchange system for desalting, effective removal of other impurities except reducing sugars and erythritol in the concentrated phase of erythritol nanofiltration membranes can be achieved; adding a certain proportion of glucoamylase can convert the reducing sugars into glucose; adding the obtained glucose and erythritol mixture back into the erythritol fermentation medium can achieve the reuse of substances and is beneficial to cost savings.
