Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical engineering, and specifically to a method for preparing fermentable sugars from straw raw materials. Background Technology
[0002] Fuel ethanol is a green and renewable energy source. It is mainly produced from grains (corn, wheat, etc.), tubers (sweet potatoes, cassava, and potatoes, etc.), sugars (waste molasses), or cellulose (crop straw, waste wood, and waste pulp, etc.) through fermentation and distillation to obtain 95% (v / v) ethanol. After dehydration, fuel ethanol is obtained, and denaturing agents are added to obtain denatured fuel ethanol.
[0003] Straw is a solid material with low bulk density and large volume. During transportation, the raw material is prone to fluctuations, exhibiting a pulsating state, and is easily scattered, resulting in a poor workshop environment. Furthermore, the moisture content of straw is unstable, varying from 10% to 45% throughout the year, which also affects bulk density. The proportions of straw leaves, stems, and pith also vary depending on the type of bale (round / square) or batch, leading to different bulk densities. This instability in material bulk density directly impacts the stability and load capacity of key pretreatment equipment.
[0004] The core equipment in the pretreatment section is the feeder for the gas explosion unit. Straw under atmospheric pressure is pressurized in this equipment before entering the gas explosion cooking reactor for cooking and gas explosion. Therefore, a stable, uniform, and continuous straw supply from this feeder is crucial for the stable operation of subsequent equipment. However, in practice, due to the low bulk density of straw and significant volume fluctuations, the material is fed in a pulsating manner, making uniform and stable feeding impossible. This leads to large fluctuations in the feeder's operation, making it prone to clogging and even shutdown. The clogging of the feeder also affects the process stability of the cooking reactor, and the discharge port of the gas explosion unit is prone to coking and clogging, subsequently impacting the efficiency of subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation units, as well as the overall operating rate of the plant.
[0005] Straw-based biomass raw materials are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. After enzymatic hydrolysis, straw raw materials produce fermentable sugars (mainly hexoses and pentoses), but also generate various complex fermentation inhibitors, primarily organic acids (such as formic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid), aldehydes (represented by 5-hydroxymethylfurfural), and phenolic compounds as byproducts. Furthermore, since the enzymatic hydrolysate originates from dilute acid gas explosions, the straw hydrolysate contains not only sugars but also a large amount of inorganic ions (potassium ions, sodium ions, calcium ions, magnesium ions, chloride ions, and sulfate ions), with sulfate ions being particularly abundant.
[0006] Compared to traditional corn starch saccharification materials, straw enzymatic hydrolysate has a more complex composition, making impurity removal crucial for obtaining high-purity sugar. Traditional methods for removing impurities from corn starch saccharification mainly include: liquefying and saccharifying the corn starch emulsion; filtering the resulting saccharified liquid to remove precipitated proteins, fats, and other insoluble impurities, resulting in a clear saccharified liquid; using powdered activated carbon to remove colored substances from the saccharified liquid, followed by filtering the activated carbon using a candle filter; then subjecting the saccharified liquid to ion exchange to remove anions, cations, and organic impurities; and finally concentrating the colorless, transparent, dilute syrup after ion exchange. While these methods can remove pigments, proteins, insoluble impurities, and some inorganic ions from corn starch saccharification materials, the resulting fermented syrup from straw enzymatic hydrolysate still contains relatively high levels of inorganic ions (especially sulfate ions), organic acids (such as formic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid), and furfural, failing to meet the requirements for high-quality fermented syrup. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of low bulk density and large volume fluctuations in straw materials in existing technologies. The material conveying is pulsating and unstable, leading to large fluctuations in feeder operation, easy blockage, and coking and blockage at the discharge port of the gas explosion equipment. These problems result in low operating rates, high enzyme dosage, high impurity content in the fermented syrup, and low yield and purity of the fermented syrup. This invention provides a method for preparing fermented sugar from straw materials. This method ensures the stability of straw moisture, uniformity of particle size, and cleanliness, thereby ensuring the stability of material bulk density. This, in turn, ensures stable, uniform, and continuous feeding of the feeder, maintaining long-term stable operation of the equipment, achieving efficient utilization of subsequent equipment, reducing enzyme dosage, increasing operating rates, and efficiently removing impurities from the straw enzymatic hydrolysate, thus improving the purity and yield of the fermented sugar.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing fermentable sugars, the method comprising: pre-treating straw raw materials, and then sequentially performing pre-enzymatic hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, solid-liquid separation, membrane separation, first desalting, decolorization and second desalting to obtain a liquid containing fermentable sugars;

[0011] S2. The air-separated material is crushed to obtain the crushed material;
[0012] S3. The crushed material is subjected to intermittent acidic gas explosion.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, the present invention achieves at least the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] (1) The method of the present invention ensures that the straw particle size is uniform and clean, and the bulk density is stable. It avoids the pulse fluctuation of the feeder material, feeder wear and blockage failure, ensures the stability, uniformity and continuity of the feed, and maintains the long-term stable operation of the equipment, which significantly improves the equipment operating rate. In the preferred case, the operating rate reaches more than 90%.
[0015] (2) The method provided by the present invention makes full use of heat, separating wet dregs and evaporated syrup into a biomass boiler, which provides steam for the whole plant. The whole plant does not need to provide steam separately, which reduces energy consumption and saves costs. In the preferred case, energy saving and consumption reduction is 20-30%.
[0016] (3) The method of the present invention can efficiently remove impurities in straw enzymatic hydrolysate and improve the yield and purity of fermented sugar. In the preferred embodiment, the yield of fermented sugar is more than 90% and the purity of fermented sugar is more than 90%, which can meet the raw material requirements of downstream biochemical products.
[0017] (4) The method of the present invention can increase the concentration of fermentable sugars (including pentoses and hexoses) in the straw enzymatic hydrolysate. In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of fermentable sugars in the enzymatic hydrolysate reaches more than 15%. Attached Figure Description

[0217]
[0218] Comparing Examples 1-3 with Examples 4-9, it can be seen that the preferred embodiments of the present invention can ensure the stability of straw moisture, the uniformity of particle size, and the cleanliness of straw, thereby ensuring the stability of material bulk density, and thus ensuring the stable, uniform, and continuous feeding of the feeder, maintaining the long-term stable operation of the equipment, realizing the efficient utilization of subsequent equipment, improving the operating rate, and at the same time efficiently removing impurities in the straw enzymatic hydrolysate, improving the concentration of fermentable sugar in the enzymatic hydrolysate and the purity and yield of syrup in the fermentable sugar solution.
[0219] Compared with the examples, Comparative Example 1 uses neutral gas explosion, which results in a high reaction temperature, poor gas explosion effect, low cellulose and hemicellulose yield, high energy consumption, and reduced concentration of fermentable sugar in the enzymatic hydrolysate, as well as reduced yield and purity of syrup in the fermentable sugar solution. In Comparative Example 2, corn stalk emulsion is used as raw material to extract fermentable sugar. However, due to the presence of complex impurities in the corn stalk emulsion, the process using corn raw materials results in a lower concentration of fermentable sugar in the enzymatic hydrolysate, and the yield and purity of fermentable sugar cannot reach the requirement of over 90%.
[0220] In summary, the method of the present invention for producing fermentable sugar can improve the yield of cellulose and hemicellulose, while efficiently removing impurities from the straw enzymatic hydrolysate, increasing the concentration of fermentable sugar in the hydrolysate, as well as the yield and purity of syrup in the fermentable sugar solution.

Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
