Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corn soaking water treatment technology, and in particular to a process for comprehensively treating corn soaking water to obtain inositol and potassium struvite. Background Technology

[0002] Corn soaking water is a byproduct of wet corn starch production, containing abundant phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, phytic acid, and other components. Currently, the main treatment of corn soaking water involves cation and anion exchange resin columns. The adsorbed phytic acid is then desorbed, and the potassium phytate solution is hydrolyzed at high temperature. The resulting hydrolysate is then further processed to obtain inositol. However, existing processes do not recover potassium and magnesium ions for the production of potassium struvite, and the regeneration waste liquid generated during the regeneration of cation and anion exchange resin columns is not recycled, resulting in resource waste. Therefore, to address these technical issues, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive process for treating corn soaking water to obtain inositol and potassium struvite. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a process for comprehensively treating corn soaking water to obtain inositol and potassium struvite, which addresses the shortcomings of the prior art. This process can produce inositol and potassium struvite products. The entire process achieves effective recovery of phosphorus and potassium, avoids resource waste, and reduces the consumption of the desorption agent (potassium chloride).

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A process for comprehensively treating corn soaking water to obtain inositol and potassium struvite, the process comprising the following steps:

[0006] (1) The supernatant after corn soaking water is allowed to settle is passed through the first cation exchange resin column, and the collected effluent enters the first anion exchange resin column. After the feeding is completed, potassium chloride solution is used for analysis, and the collected analysis solution is used for later use.

[0007] (2) Take the eluent obtained in step (1), and adjust the pH of the concentrated solution collected after concentration treatment to acidity.

[0008] First, add the chelating agent and stir to mix. Then add phytase and heat to carry out ultrasonic enzymatic hydrolysis. The resulting enzymatic hydrolysate is then ready for use.

[0009] (3) Take the enzymatic hydrolysate from step (2), decolorize it, and filter the resulting decolorized solution for later use;

[0010] (4) Take the decolorizing solution described in step (3) and separate it using a simulated moving bed chromatography system. The resulting inositol phase and salt phase are reserved separately.

[0011] (5) Take the inositol phase described in step (4) and enter the second cation resin column and the second anion resin column in series. The resulting effluent is concentrated, crystallized and dried to obtain the inositol product.

[0012] (6) Take the salt phase described in step (4), add magnesium chloride hexahydrate, adjust the pH to alkaline and stir to mix, filter and collect the filtrate for later use, and dry the collected precipitate to obtain potassium struvite product.

[0013] (7) Take the filtrate from step (6), concentrate and crystallize it, filter the crystallized mother liquor, and then treat it with bipolar membrane electrodialysis to obtain hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide solution respectively; hydrochloric acid is used to elute the first cation resin column in step (1) and the second cation resin column in step (5), wherein the eluent collected when hydrochloric acid elutes the first cation resin is concentrated, crystallized and dried to obtain potassium chloride as phytic acid elution agent; the eluent collected when hydrochloric acid elutes the second cation resin column is combined with the filtrate from step (6); the potassium hydroxide solution is used to elute the second anion resin column in step (5), and the collected eluent is combined with the salt from step (4).

[0014] As an improved technical solution, in step (1), the supernatant enters the first cation exchange resin column at a flow rate of 1.5-2 Bv / h, and the effluent enters the first anion exchange resin column at a flow rate of 1.5-2 Bv / h; the concentration of the potassium chloride solution is 12 wt%, and the potassium chloride solution enters the first anion exchange resin column at a flow rate of 0.5-1 Bv / h.

[0015] As an improved technical solution, in step (2), a nanofiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 300-500 Da is used for concentration treatment; the pH of the concentrate is adjusted to 4.5-5 using potassium hydroxide solution; the chelating agent includes tetrasodium glutamate diacetate and polyaminopolyether methylenephosphonic acid, wherein the amount of tetrasodium glutamate diacetate added is 0.15-0.3 g / L, and the amount of polyaminopolyether methylenephosphonic acid added is 0.2-0.4 ml / L; the temperature is heated to 50-60℃, and ultrasonic enzymatic hydrolysis is performed for 4-6 hours; the power of ultrasonic treatment is 300-500 W.

[0016] As an improved technical solution, activated carbon is added to the enzymatic hydrolysis solution in step (3) for decolorization treatment; the decolorized solution is concentrated under vacuum, and the solid content of the concentrated solution is 40-45 wt%.

[0017] As an improved technical solution, the separation conditions in step (4) using a simulated moving bed chromatography separation system are as follows: operating temperature is 55-65℃, pressure is 3-0.6Mpa, feed flow rate of decolorizing liquid is 0.5Bv / h, and flow rate of mobile phase is 1Bv / h.

[0018] As an improved technical solution, the inositol phase in step (5) enters the second cation resin column and the second anion resin column at a flow rate of 1-1.5 Bv / h.

[0019] As an improved technical solution, the salt phase and the magnesium chloride hexahydrate in step (6) are added at a ratio of 80-120 g / L to the liquid-to-material ratio, and the pH is adjusted to 8.0-10.0.

[0020] As an improved technical solution, the concentration of hydrochloric acid used in step (7) to elute the first cation exchange resin column in step (1) and the second cation exchange resin column in step (5) is 5 wt%.

[0021] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] This invention uses the supernatant from corn soaking water after settling as raw material. The solution first undergoes adsorption on a first cation exchange resin column (potassium ions are adsorbed). The collected effluent then enters a first anion exchange resin column (phytic acid is adsorbed). Potassium chloride is used to elute the first anion exchange resin column, yielding an eluent containing potassium phytate. This eluent is then concentrated via nanofiltration. The collected concentrate is adjusted to acidic pH, and a chelating agent is added and stirred (to chelate calcium and magnesium ions). Phytase is then added, followed by ultrasonic enzymatic hydrolysis. The resulting hydrolysate (containing inositol and potassium dihydrogen phosphate) is decolorized using activated carbon. The decolorized solution is then separated by simulated moving bed chromatography to obtain an inositol phase and a salt phase. The inositol phase enters a second cation exchange resin column and a second anion exchange resin column connected in series, and is then concentrated. The process involves crystallization and drying to obtain inositol. The collected salt phase is mixed with magnesium chloride hexahydrate to adjust the pH to alkaline. After filtration, the precipitate (which, after drying, becomes potassium struvite) and filtrate are collected separately. The filtrate is then concentrated, crystallized, and filtered again. The collected crystallization mother liquor is then subjected to bipolar membrane electrodialysis to obtain hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide solutions. Hydrochloric acid is used to elute the first and second cation exchange resin columns. The eluent collected during hydrochloric acid elution of the first cation exchange resin is concentrated, crystallized, and dried to obtain potassium chloride, which is used as a phytic acid eluent. The eluent collected during hydrochloric acid elution of the second cation exchange resin column is combined with the filtrate from step (6). The potassium hydroxide solution is used to elute the second anion exchange resin column, and the collected eluent is combined with the salt phase. This process yields inositol and potassium struvite products, realizing the recovery of phosphorus and potassium from corn soaking water, avoiding resource waste, reducing the consumption of the eluent (potassium chloride), and saving costs.
