Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of catalytic technology for treating yellow water in baijiu (Chinese liquor), specifically relating to an enzyme catalytic device for treating yellow water in baijiu. Background Technology
[0002] The yellow liquid in Baijiu (Chinese liquor) is an acidic liquid formed at the bottom of the fermentation pit during solid-state fermentation and distillation. It is rich in organic acids (such as lactic acid and acetic acid), alcohols (ethanol and higher alcohols), and functional polysaccharides. In traditional processes, the yellow liquid is difficult to utilize directly due to its high acidity (pH 3.5-4.5), high ethanol content (8%-12%), and complex impurities (such as grain residue, microbial remains, and protein flocculants). It is usually discharged as wastewater or simply reused, resulting in resource waste and environmental pollution. In recent years, studies have shown that the polysaccharide components in the yellow liquid can produce beneficial substances such as short-chain fatty acids through intestinal flora metabolism, which have antioxidant and immunomodulatory potential. At the same time, the free fatty acids in the yellow liquid and ethanol can generate key flavor substances such as ethyl hexanoate and ethyl octanoate under the catalysis of lipase, which significantly improves the aroma complexity of Baijiu. However, natural lipases are easily deactivated in the extreme environment of yellow water, resulting in low catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, traditional immobilization technologies suffer from problems such as low enzyme loading and high mass transfer resistance. Therefore, this invention provides a catalytic treatment device for yellow water from baijiu (Chinese liquor). Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an enzyme catalytic device for treating yellow water in baijiu (Chinese liquor) to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an enzyme catalytic device for treating yellow water in baijiu (Chinese liquor), comprising a reaction vessel, the reaction vessel being divided into a first tank, a second tank, and a third tank. The first tank is equipped with a filter assembly inside, the second tank is equipped with a catalytic assembly inside, and the third tank is equipped with an activated carbon plate inside. An interlayer is formed in the inner wall of the first and second tanks, and a spiral temperature control tube is provided inside the interlayer. The temperature of the medium inside the temperature control tube is 45 degrees Celsius.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the filter assembly includes a multi-stage filter plate bolted inside a first tank. The multi-stage filter plate is divided into three sieve plates, with the diameter of the sieve holes decreasing progressively from top to bottom. A filler material, which is unmodified diatomaceous earth, is filled between every two sieve plates.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the first tank is provided with through pipes on both sides, and each through pipe is provided with a pressure valve.

The second tank has a first carrier, a second carrier, and a third carrier arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and the cross-sections of the first carrier and the second carrier are arc-shaped.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0015] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0016] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an enzyme catalytic device for treating yellow water in baijiu (Chinese liquor), including a reaction vessel. The reaction vessel is divided into a first tank 1, a second tank 2, and a third tank 3. The first tank 1 has an internal filtration assembly, which includes a multi-stage filter plate 8 bolted to the inside of the first tank 1. The multi-stage filter plate 8 is divided into three sieve plates, with the sieve aperture diameter decreasing progressively from top to bottom. A filler 9, which is unmodified diatomaceous earth, is placed between every two sieve plates. Through-pipelines are provided on both sides of the first tank 1, and pressure valves 5 are installed on the outside of each through-pipeline. A flushing plate 6 and a discharge plate 7 are respectively located at one end of each of the two through-pipelines in the first tank 1. At both ends of the three sieve plates, the yellow water enters the reactor through the input pipe 101 at the top of the first tank 1. It first contacts the upper sieve plate, intercepting large particles of impurities (such as grain residue and bacterial remains). The small particles that are not intercepted enter the middle sieve plate, where they are combined with the unmodified diatomaceous earth filling layer to adsorb colloidal substances such as protein flocculants. The remaining particles pass through the lower sieve plate, where the microporous structure of the diatomaceous earth further intercepts nano-sized particles. After a certain period of time, compressed air (0.5MPa) enters the flushing plate 6 through the through pipe, impacting the impurities in the sieve plates and diatomaceous earth pores. The detached impurities are discharged from the discharge plate 7 with the airflow. The filtered yellow water enters the second tank 2 through the guide section 102 to carry out the enzyme catalytic reaction. The three-stage sieve plate gradually reduces the pore size, which, combined with the adsorption effect of diatomaceous earth, improves the removal rate of suspended solids, which is much higher than that of a single-stage sieve plate. The silanol groups on the surface of unmodified diatomaceous earth adsorb negatively charged impurities through hydrogen bonding, thus delaying sieve plate clogging.
[0017] In this embodiment, a catalytic assembly is provided inside the second tank 2, an inlet pipe 101 is provided at the top of the first tank 1, and an outlet pipe 301 is provided at the bottom of the third tank 3. The bottom of the first tank 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the second tank 2 through a guide part 102, and the bottom of the second tank 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the third tank 3 through a connecting pipe 204. The catalytic assembly includes a lipase addition pipe 10 disposed at the top of the second tank 2, with the other end of the lipase addition pipe 10 located inside the second tank 2. Inside the second tank 2, a first carrier 201, a second carrier 202, and a third carrier 203 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The cross-sections of the first carrier 201 and the second carrier 202 are arc-shaped. The outer side of the end of the lipase addition pipe 10 located inside the second tank 2 is provided with a primary outlet 1001 and a secondary outlet 1001. The discharge section 1002 and the tertiary discharge section 1003 have successively decreasing aperture values. The primary discharge section 1001, the secondary discharge section 1002, and the tertiary discharge section 1003 are located above the first carrier 201, the second carrier 202, and the third carrier 203, respectively. The filtered yellow water enters the top of the second tank 2 through the guide section 102. The fluid is evenly dispersed along the arc-shaped surface of the first carrier 201 to avoid local overload. The lipase solution is pumped into the tank through the lipase addition tube 10. The primary discharge section 1001, the secondary discharge section 1002, and the tertiary discharge section 1003 spray enzyme solution onto the surfaces of the first carrier 201, the second carrier 202, and the third carrier 203 in sequence. The first carrier 201 is a lipase with covalently bound surface epoxy groups, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of macromolecular substrates to generate free fatty acids. The second carrier 202 is a carrier doped with nano-iron oxide. The sedimentation position is controlled by an external magnetic field to ensure uniform distribution of the enzyme layer. The lipase further catalyzes the esterification reaction of fatty acids and ethanol. The third carrier 203 is a hydrophobically modified carrier that promotes the "interfacial activation" of the lipase. The lipase specifically synthesizes high-value-added flavor substances. The yellow water after the catalytic reaction (containing the target product) enters the third tank 3 through the connecting tube 204. Unreacted enzyme molecules are fixed on the carrier surface and can be reused. In this embodiment, the interior of the third tank 3 is provided with an activated carbon plate 302, and a conical diversion plate 303 is provided above the activated carbon plate 302 inside the third tank 3. The catalyzed material is guided to the surface of the activated carbon plate 302 through the conical diversion plate 303, thereby achieving uniform filtration.
[0018] In this embodiment, a jacket is formed in the inner wall of the first tank 1 and the second tank 2. A spiral temperature control pipe 4 is provided inside the jacket. The temperature of the medium inside the temperature control pipe 4 is 45 degrees. The spiral heat-conducting oil pipe (45℃±0.5℃) in the temperature control jacket maintains the temperature inside the tank through heat conduction, ensuring that the lipase is in the optimal reaction conditions.
[0019] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the yellow water enters the reaction vessel through the input pipe 101 at the top of the first tank 1. It first contacts the upper sieve plate, intercepting large particles of impurities (such as grain residue and bacterial remains). Small particles that are not intercepted enter the middle sieve plate, where they are combined with the unmodified diatomaceous earth filling layer to adsorb colloidal substances such as protein flocculants. Residual particles pass through the lower sieve plate, where the microporous structure of the diatomaceous earth further intercepts nano-sized particles. After a certain period of use, compressed air (0.5MPa) enters the flushing plate 6 through the through-pipe, impacting the impurities in the sieve plate and diatomaceous earth pores. The detached impurities are discharged from the discharge plate 7 with the airflow. The filtered yellow water enters the second tank 2 through the guide section 102 to carry out the enzyme catalytic reaction. The spiral heat-conducting oil pipe (45℃±0.5℃) in the temperature control jacket maintains a stable temperature inside the tank through heat conduction, ensuring that the lipase is in the optimal reaction conditions. The filtered yellow water enters the top of the second tank 2 through the guide section 102, and the fluid is evenly dispersed along the arc-shaped surface of the first carrier 201 to avoid local over-dispersion. Lipase solution is pumped into the tank through lipase addition tube 10. The enzyme solution is sprayed sequentially onto the surfaces of the first carrier 201, second carrier 202, and third carrier 203 via primary discharge section 1001, secondary discharge section 1002, and tertiary discharge section 1003. Lipase, covalently bound to epoxy groups on the surface of the first carrier 201, catalyzes the hydrolysis of macromolecular substrates to generate free fatty acids. The second carrier 202, a carrier doped with nano-iron oxide, has its sedimentation position controlled by an external magnetic field to ensure uniform enzyme layer distribution. The lipase further catalyzes the esterification reaction of fatty acids and ethanol. The third carrier 203, a hydrophobically modified carrier, promotes the "interfacial activation" of the lipase, enabling the specific synthesis of high-value-added flavor substances. The resulting yellow water (containing the target product) enters the third tank 3 through connecting tube 204. Unreacted enzyme molecules are fixed on the carrier surface for reuse. The catalyzed water is guided to the surface of activated carbon plate 302 through conical diversion plate 303 for uniform filtration before being discharged through discharge tube 301.
