Technical Field
The invention relates to a lactic acid separation and purification technology, in particular to a purification method of red lactic acid.
Background
L-Lactic acid (L-Lactic acid): molecular formula C 3 H 6 O 3 The boiling point is 125 ℃, the L-lactic acid is an organic acid which is prepared by taking corn starch, raw material cane sugar, beet sugar or molasses thereof and the like as raw materials through biological fermentation and refining, the organic acid is colorless clear viscous liquid, and the aqueous solution is acidic. Optionally mixed with water, ethanol or diethyl ether, and insoluble in chloroform. Because of the levorotatory characteristic, the compound has good biological compatibility, can be fused with mammals, can directly participate in human metabolism, has no side effect, and is widely applied to the fields of food, medicine and the like.
The L-lactic acid is prepared by saccharifying starch-containing raw materials and inoculating lactic acid strains for fermentation. After fermentation, the final product is obtained by acidolysis, filtration, preconcentration, decolorization, ion exchange, membrane filtration, concentration, molecular distillation and the like. The fermentation liquor is treated by molecular distillation to obtain a light phase and a heavy phase, and the concentrated liquor produced by membrane filtration and the heavy phase product produced by molecular distillation are generally called as red lactic acid. Although the lactic acid content of the red lactic acid is up to 60% or more, the red lactic acid also contains impurities such as sugars, pigments, proteins, salts, etc., and has a low utility value, and as shown in fig. 8, the color of the red lactic acid is very high. The traditional process is to mix a part of the red lactic acid back and a part of the red lactic acid is used as waste. Since the red lactic acid contains sugars, proteins, and the like, it is not easy to store and it is difficult to handle it as a waste.

In order to improve the utilization rate of the red lactic acid, the invention adopts a valve array type continuous ion exchange system to purify the red lactic acid, thereby increasing the additional value of the red lactic acid, improving the yield of the lactic acid, reducing the treatment amount of waste materials and changing waste into valuable.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a method for purifying red lactic acid comprises the following steps:
(1) adsorption: adding the red lactic acid solution into a weak-base anion exchange resin column, and automatically adsorbing lactate ions onto the ion exchange resin;
(2) and (3) analysis: adding a sulfuric acid solution into a weak-base anion exchange resin column which adsorbs lactate, and replacing the lactate on the resin with sulfate radicals to obtain a lactic acid solution;
(3) regeneration: and adding ammonia water into the analyzed weak base anion exchange resin column, regenerating the resin, and obtaining the weak base anion exchange resin column recovering the exchange capacity and a byproduct ammonium sulfate solution after the regeneration is finished.
The absorbed weak base anion exchange resin column forms an absorption area, the resolved weak base anion exchange resin column forms an resolving area, the regenerated weak base anion exchange resin column forms a regeneration area, the weak base anion exchange resin column in the absorption area is automatically switched to the resolving area after being absorbed and saturated, meanwhile, the weak base anion exchange resin column after the resolving area is resolved is automatically switched to the regeneration area, the weak base anion exchange resin column after the regeneration area is regenerated is automatically switched to the absorption area, and continuous ion exchange is formed.
The purification process of the red lactic acid is continuously operated by full-automatic control of PLC.
The red lactic acid is a heavy phase product obtained by membrane filtration and/or molecular distillation in the process of preparing lactic acid from lactic acid fermentation liquor. The continuous ion exchange method directly obtains lactic acid from red lactic acid, rather than purifying lactic acid by removing impurities from red lactic acid, unlike the conventional ion exchange method.
The purification method of the red lactic acid also comprises the following steps:
washing the materials with water: before the analysis, washing the weak base anion exchange resin column adsorbing lactate, and switching the weak base anion exchange resin column to analyze after the washing material is finished;
washing with water and acid: after the analysis, washing the analyzed weak base anion exchange resin column, and switching the weak base anion exchange resin column after the acid washing to back wash;
backwashing: after washing acid, backwashing the weak base anion exchange resin column after the acid washing is finished, and switching the weak base anion exchange resin column to regenerate after the backwashing is finished;
water leaching: and after regeneration, washing the regenerated weak base anion exchange resin column with water, and switching the weak base anion exchange resin column after washing with water to analyze.
The weak base anion exchange resin column of the water washing material forms a water washing material area, the weak base anion exchange resin column of the water washing acid forms a water washing acid area, the weak base anion exchange resin column of the water washing material area forms a water washing area, the weak base anion exchange resin column of the adsorption area is automatically switched to the water washing material area after being adsorbed and saturated, meanwhile, the weak base anion exchange resin column of the water washing material area is automatically switched to an analysis area, the weak base anion exchange resin column analyzed in the analysis area is automatically switched to the water washing acid area, the weak base anion exchange resin column of the water washing acid area is automatically switched to a backwashing area, the weak base anion exchange resin column of the backwashing area is automatically switched to a regeneration area, and the weak base anion exchange resin column regenerated in the regeneration area is automatically switched to the adsorption area to form continuous ion exchange. When one weak base anion exchange resin column is switched out from one area, the weak base anion exchange resin column in the next working procedure area can be switched in, so that the number of the columns in each area is kept relatively constant.
The mass concentration of the red lactic acid solution during feeding is 10-30%.
The mass concentration of the sulfuric acid solution is 10-40%.
The mass concentration of the ammonia water is 10-30%.

The resolving area comprises 2 or more than 2 weak base anion exchange resin columns which are connected in series.
And switching the resin columns when the sulfate radical concentration of the effluent of the last weak-base anion exchange resin column in the analysis area is greater than a set value.
The regeneration zone comprises 2 or more than 2 weak base anion exchange resin columns which are connected in series.

The red lactic acid solution passes through an ion exchange resin column to achieve the refining purpose, and impurities such as salt, pigment, and mixed acid generated in the fermentation and acidification processes in the red lactic acid solution are separated.
