The invention provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving method and
system for recovering a byproduct
acetic acid from
ethanol fermentation, and belongs to the technical field of
biochemical engineering and
resource recovery, and the method comprises the following steps: carrying out
solid-liquid separation on a
fermentation liquid to obtain a filtrate and a bacterium-containing liquid, reusing the bacterium-containing liquid for
fermentation, carrying out
distillation dealcoholization on the filtrate, and collecting an
ethanol product and a dealcoholized liquid to obtain the byproduct
acetic acid from
ethanol fermentation. And adjusting the pH value of the dealcoholization liquid to be neutral, then carrying out
electrodialysis to obtain light chamber
effluent and thick chamber
effluent, reusing the light chamber
effluent for fermentation, adding
sulfuric acid into the thick chamber effluent for acidification, and then carrying out rectification to obtain an
acetic acid product. Through the unique process combination of dealcoholization and adsorption, the problem of interference of ethanol on acetic acid separation is effectively solved; according to the method, ethanol and acetic acid can be recovered at the same time, the maximum utilization of resources is realized, and the economical efficiency of the whole process is improved; compared with a traditional
neutralization method, the method avoids the generation of a large amount of
solid waste residues, and is environment-friendly; the method is suitable for treating low-concentration acetic acid fermentation liquor, and is low in
energy consumption and high in separation efficiency.
