Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomass resource utilization, and particularly relates to a method for harmless treatment of steroid hormone bacterial residues. Background Art

[0002] At present, more than 400 steroid drugs have been produced globally, ranking the second largest category of chemical drugs after antibiotics. China is a major producer of steroid raw materials, with the annual output of steroid drugs accounting for about 1 / 3 of the world's total output. Among them, the production capacity and actual output of corticosteroid raw materials both rank first in the world.

[0003] As a steroid hormone, androstenedione can be produced through a microbial transformation process. Limited by the separation and extraction efficiency, androstenedione in the fermentation broth cannot be completely extracted, resulting in inevitable residues of a small amount of androstenedione and other metabolites in the bacterial residues, which may affect the reproductive, immune, and nervous systems of various organisms and have certain ecological toxicity. At the same time, the bacterial residues produced during the microbial transformation process also contain rich mycelium and residual organic matter, sugars, proteins, minerals and other nutrient components, which are a resource with broad development prospects.

[0004] The traditional treatment method for hormone bacterial residues is incineration, which not only eliminates the residues after production but also wastes the relevant resources in the residues. Compared with the traditional treatment method for hormone bacterial residues, anaerobic digestion is an effective way to realize the resource utilization of organic waste, which can degrade various solid organic waste and high-concentration organic wastewater, etc., and at the same time can achieve a win-win situation for energy and ecology. And anaerobic fermentation has a lower requirement for the C / N ratio of raw materials, and does not require adding a large amount of straw-like auxiliary materials to adjust the C / N ratio and moisture content in the treatment of bacterial residues, reducing the regional limitation of technology application.

[0005] In the anaerobic treatment of organic waste, volatile fatty acids are often produced, but under the tolerance conditions of methanogens, the volatile fatty acids in the bacterial residues will be converted into biogas.

[0006] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method for harmless resource utilization of androstenedione bacterial residues. Summary of the Invention

[0018] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is that in step (1), androstenedione pure product with a concentration of 0-10 g / L is added externally to the androstenedione-containing bacterial residue raw material.

[0019] Further preferably, androstenedione pure product with a concentration of 1-8 g / L is added externally to the androstenedione-containing bacterial residue raw material.

[0024] Preferably, in step (2), the anaerobic fermentation is carried out in a semi - continuous or batch mode.

[0060] It can be seen from the figure that after 28 days of anaerobic fermentation, under the conditions of 80 °C and 90 min (Example 5), the biogas production rate of androstenedione bacterial residue is significantly higher than that of androstenedione bacterial residue without heat treatment (Example 3) and under the conditions of 160 °C and 30 min (Example 6).

[0061] Example 7

[0062] The present invention measured the reduction and harmlessness. The removal rates of volatile total solids content (VS) and androstenedione corresponding to Examples 1-6 are as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 。

[0063] Figure 4 are the removal rates of VS for Examples 1-6;

[0064] Figure 5 are the removal rates of androstenedione for Examples 1-6.

[0065] It can be seen from the figure that under the conditions of 80 °C and 90 min, the removal rates of VS and androstenedione of the bacterial residue reach the highest, which are 54.2% and 98.6%.

[0066] Example 8

[0067] The present invention measured the protein and fat before and after fermentation in Examples 3, 5, and 6. The protein degradation rates and fat degradation rates corresponding to Examples 3, 5-6 are as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 。

[0068] Figure 6 are the protein degradation rates;

[0069] Figure 7 are the fat degradation rates.

[0070] It can be seen from the figure that under the conditions of 160 °C and 30 min, the protein degradation rate and fat degradation rate of the bacterial residue reach the highest, which are 61.7% and 83.4%.

[0071] Example 9

[0072] Take 0.5 g of androstenedione bacterial residue raw material and 1 g of anaerobic activated sludge, so that the mass ratio of the raw material to the sludge is 1:2. Add deionized water to a working volume of 100 ml, pour it into a serum bottle, blow N2, seal it with a butyl rubber stopper and an aluminum cap, and place it in a 35 °C constant temperature water bath for fermentation for 28 days to collect biogas.

[0073] Example 10

[0074] Take 0.5 g of the androstenedione-containing bacterial residue raw material and 1 g of anaerobic activated sludge, so that the mass ratio of the raw material to the sludge is 1:2. Before fermentation, add 0.2 mL of an androstenedione pure product solution with a concentration of 8 g / L prepared with methanol (99% purity) as an organic solvent to the androstenedione-containing bacterial residue raw material, and then mix it with the anaerobic activated sludge;

[0075] Add deionized water to a working volume of 100 ml, pour it into a serum bottle, blow N2, seal it with a butyl rubber stopper and an aluminum cap, and place it in a 35°C constant temperature water bath for fermentation for 28 days to collect biogas.

[0076] Figure 8 It is the biogas production rate of the androstenedione-containing bacterial residue under different androstenedione contents.

[0077] Figure 9 It is the single-day removal rate and cumulative removal rate of androstenedione under different androstenedione contents.

[0078] It can be seen from the figure that after 28 days of anaerobic fermentation, compared with the bacterial residue without additional androstenedione (Example 9), the biogas production rate of the bacterial residue with exogenous androstenedione added (Example 10) is higher, indicating that the higher the content of androstenedione in the anaerobic fermentation process, the higher the biogas production rate. The highest single-day removal rate of androstenedione in the exogenous added bacterial residue during anaerobic fermentation is 17.15%, which is higher than the highest single-day removal rate of 12.19% without addition. The higher the androstenedione content, the higher the removal rate of androstenedione during anaerobic fermentation.

[0079] Control Example 1

[0080] Inoculate Burkholderia metalica from the soil near Changzhou University into the androstenedione-containing bacterial residue raw material, and completely degrade androstenedione after culturing at 37°C and 180 rpm for 30 h.

[0081] Take 0.5 g of the bacterial residue raw material degraded by Burkholderia metalica, 1 g of anaerobic activated sludge, so that the mass ratio of the raw material to the sludge is 1:2, add deionized water to a working volume of 100 ml, pour it into a serum bottle, blow N2, seal it with a butyl rubber stopper and an aluminum cap, and place it in a 35°C constant temperature water bath for fermentation for 28 days to collect biogas.

[0082] Figure 10 It is the biogas production rate of the androstenedione-containing bacterial residue after degradation by the degrading bacteria.

[0083] It can be seen from the figure that after 28 days of anaerobic fermentation, compared with the bacterial residue without treating androstenedione (as it is, Example 9), the biogas production rate of the bacterial residue with androstenedione degraded by Burkholderia metalica is lower, indicating that androstenedione has an impact on the biogas production rate during anaerobic fermentation.

[0084] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as a limitation on the present invention itself. Various changes may be made in its form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
