Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of erythritol nanofiltration membrane concentrated phase treatment, and more particularly to a method for recycling an erythritol nanofiltration membrane concentrated phase. Background Art
[0002] Nanofiltration is a crucial separation and purification step in the fermentation-based production of erythritol. Nanofiltration membranes have a specific molecular weight cutoff (MWCO), typically between 200 and 1000 Daltons. When the erythritol fermentation broth is eluted and filtered through the nanofiltration membrane, the portion of liquid retained by the membrane, unable to pass through, forms the nanofiltration concentrated phase. This phase contains macromolecular impurities from the fermentation broth that were not completely retained by the ceramic membrane, such as proteins and reducing sugars, as well as pigments and relatively large organic impurities. Reducing sugars include maltobiose and maltotriose, which are not saccharified to glucose during the starch sugar production process. The presence of these impurities can affect the purity and quality of the erythritol. If not effectively treated, they can negatively impact subsequent crystallization processes, such as crystallization difficulties and poor crystal quality. Inorganic salts in the fermentation broth can also accumulate in the nanofiltration concentrated phase. If these salts enter the subsequent erythritol product, they can affect its purity and taste, and may also corrode production equipment.
[0003] The concentrated phase of erythritol nanofiltration membrane is generally treated as waste sewage. Due to its high COD and conductivity, it often has an impact on the sewage treatment system, and also causes waste of reducing sugar and erythritol.
[0004] Therefore, providing a method for recycling the concentrated phase of erythritol nanofiltration membrane is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for recycling the concentrated phase of an erythritol nanofiltration membrane.
[0006] The concentrated phase of the erythritol nanofiltration membrane has a soluble solids content of 20.0%-25.0%, a pH of 3.90-4.10, essentially zero transmittance, and a conductivity of 3.0-5.0 ms / cm. Reducing sugars account for 60.0%-70.0% of the soluble solids, and erythritol accounts for 15.0%-25.0%. By adding activated carbon for filtration and decolorization, and using an ion exchange system for desalination, impurities other than reducing sugars and erythritol can be effectively removed from the concentrated phase of the erythritol nanofiltration membrane. Adding a certain proportion of saccharifying enzymes can convert reducing sugars into glucose. The resulting glucose and erythritol mixture can be added back to the erythritol fermentation medium, enabling material reuse and cost savings.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] (4) Detection indicators and back-mixing for utilization: After saccharification, the glucose content and erythritol content in the solution were detected, and the erythritol fermentation broth was back-mixed for utilization in a volume ratio of 1:2 between the erythritol fermentation broth and the concentrated phase of the treated nanofiltration membrane.
[0013] Furthermore, the instrument for detecting the soluble solid content in the concentrated phase of the erythritol nanofiltration membrane in step (1) is an Abbe refractometer.
[0014] Furthermore, in the concentrated phase of the erythritol nanofiltration membrane in step (1), the soluble solids content is 20.0%-25.0%, the pH is 3.90-4.10, the transmittance is 0-5%, and the conductivity is 3.0-5.0 ms / cm; the reducing sugar accounts for 60.0%-70.0% of the soluble solids content, and erythritol accounts for 15.0%-25.0% of the soluble solids content.
[0015] Furthermore, in step (4), the instrument for detecting the glucose content and erythritol content in the solution after saccharification is a high performance liquid chromatography, and the chromatographic column used is a hydrogen column.
[0016] It can be seen from the above technical solution that, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a method for recycling the concentrated phase of erythritol nanofiltration membrane, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] (1) There are currently no relevant literature or patents on the secondary utilization of erythritol nanofiltration membrane in the concentrated phase. The present invention has strong creativity and practicality in this field.
