Abstract

Fremgangsmåte til fremstilling av aceton og butanol fra et celluloseholdig materiale.Process for the preparation of acetone and butanol from a cellulosic material.

Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører en fremgangsmåte til fremstilling av aceton og butanol fra et celluloseholdig materiale. The present invention relates to a method for producing acetone and butanol from a cellulose-containing material.

Cellulose eller celluloseholdige stoffer forekommer i naturen i meget stort omfang og anvendes som råmateriale på forskjellige områder innen industrien. Som et middel for ut-nyttelse av disse materialer, er det rapportert forskjellige forslag angående fremstilling av etanol, melkesyre, aceton, butanol og lignende, ved å hydrolysere materialene til glukose, som er en bestanddel i cellulose, og anvende den fremstilte glukose som et råmateriale for fermenteringsproduktene. Til forskjell fra de tilfeller hvor molasse anvendes som råmateriale, har imidlertid den nevnte metode den ulempe at cellulosen eller det celluloseholdige materiale som er utgangssubstratet, Cellulose or cellulose-containing substances occur in nature in very large quantities and are used as raw material in various areas within industry. As a means of utilizing these materials, various proposals have been reported regarding the production of ethanol, lactic acid, acetone, butanol, and the like, by hydrolyzing the materials into glucose, which is a component of cellulose, and using the produced glucose as a raw material for the fermentation products. However, in contrast to the cases where molasses is used as raw material, the mentioned method has the disadvantage that the cellulose or the cellulose-containing material which is the starting substrate,

først må hydrolyseres til glukpse, og dermed er det nødvendig med minst to trinn, dvs. hydrolyse og fermentering. Siden" • celluloseholdige materialer er vanskelig å dekomponere, har den oppnådde glukose lav konsentrasjon, hvilket resulterer i en lav konsentrasjon av "^fermenter ingsprodukter. Når konsentra-sjonen av en fremstilt aceton-butanolblanding er lav, blir således spesielt separering og rensing av blandingen vanskelig. Denne to-trinnsmetode er følgelig upraktisk. must first be hydrolysed to glucose, and thus at least two steps are necessary, i.e. hydrolysis and fermentation. Since cellulosic materials are difficult to decompose, the glucose obtained has a low concentration, resulting in a low concentration of fermentation products. When the concentration of a prepared acetone-butanol mixture is low, separation and purification of the mixture thus becomes especially difficult. This two-step method is therefore impractical.

Det er nå funnet at større konsentrasjon av en aceton-butanolblanding kan oppnås fra et celluloseholdig materiale ved hjelp av en en-trinnsprosess når det celluloseholdige materiale samtidig innvirkes på av en cellulase og en aceton-butanolproduserende mikroorganisme. Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår derfor en metode hvorved aceton og butanol med fordel kan fremstilles fra et celluloseholdig materiale ved hjelp av en en-trinnsprosess. It has now been found that greater concentration of an acetone-butanol mixture can be obtained from a cellulosic material by means of a one-step process when the cellulosic material is simultaneously acted upon by a cellulase and an acetone-butanol-producing microorganism. The present invention therefore relates to a method by which acetone and butanol can be advantageously produced from a cellulose-containing material by means of a one-step process.

"Celluloseholdige materialer" som anvendes som utgangs-materialer i foreliggende oppfinnelse, omfatter cellulose "Cellulosic materials" used as starting materials in the present invention include cellulose

eller stoffer sammensatt hovedsakelig av cellulose, hvilket omfatter tre, risstrå, risskall, maisstengel, maiskolber og papiravfall, slik som avispapir, korrugert papir, tidsskrift-papir, korte fibre fra papirfabrikker og fiberavfall fra byer og industrier. For at disse stoffer skal kunne anvendes på effektiv måte som substrater, er det ønskelig at de pulveri-seres eller disintegreres. or substances composed mainly of cellulose, which includes wood, rice straw, rice husks, corn stalks, corn cobs and paper waste, such as newsprint, corrugated paper, magazine paper, short fibers from paper mills and fiber waste from cities and industries. In order for these substances to be used effectively as substrates, it is desirable that they be pulverized or disintegrated.

For forsukring av disse cellulosesubstrater, er det tilstrekkelig å benytte en kommersielt tilgjengelig cellulase, slik som "Cellulase Onozuka". Et væskeformig enzymatisk prepa-rat, slik som et flytende kulturfiltrat eller fast kultur-ekstrakt fra en cellulaseproduserende mikroorganisme, slik som T. viride, kan anvendes. En flytende kultur eller fast kultur For saccharification of these cellulose substrates, it is sufficient to use a commercially available cellulase, such as "Cellulase Onozuka". A liquid enzymatic preparation, such as a liquid culture filtrate or solid culture extract from a cellulase-producing microorganism, such as T. viride, can be used. A liquid culture or solid culture

av selve mikroorganismen T. viride, kan også anvendes som enof the microorganism T. viride itself, can also be used as a

rå hel kulturblanding uten separering, ekstrahering eller rensing. raw whole culture mixture without separation, extraction or purification.

Som aceton-butanolproduserende mikroorganisme for samtidig bruk med cellulasen, kan man f.eks. benytte den vel-kjente organisme Clostridium acetobutylicum og Clostridium saccharoacetobutylicum. As an acetone-butanol-producing microorganism for simultaneous use with the cellulase, one can e.g. using the well-known organisms Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium saccharoacetobutylicum.

For at det celluloseholdige substrat samtidig skalIn order for the cellulose-containing substrate to simultaneously

kunne utsettes for en cellulase og en aceton-butanolproduserende mikroorganisme, fremstilles en vandig suspensjon inneholdende 1-50 vekt-% celluloseholdig materiale, passende mengder av en nitrogenkilde, uorganiske salter og andre næringsstoffer, og steriliseres på konvensjonell måte for å kunne tjene som substrat. En cellulase (eller cellulaseholdig væske) tilsettes til substratet og samtidig tilsettes en aceton-butanolproduserende mikroorganisme som er dyrket på forhånd, slik at fermenteringen vil forløpe. could be exposed to a cellulase and an acetone-butanol-producing microorganism, an aqueous suspension containing 1-50% by weight of cellulosic material, suitable amounts of a nitrogen source, inorganic salts and other nutrients is prepared and sterilized in a conventional manner to serve as a substrate. A cellulase (or cellulase-containing liquid) is added to the substrate and at the same time an acetone-butanol-producing microorganism that has been cultured in advance is added, so that the fermentation will proceed.

Temperatur- og pH-betingelser avhenger av mikroorganismen og den cellulasetype som anvendes, men det er generelt ønskelig å ha optimale forhold i området 30-55°C og pH 4-6. Fermenteringstidene er også forskjellige avhengig av .typen av celluloseholdig materiale, aceton-butanolproduserende mikroorganisme og cellulaseaktivitet, men den ønskede mengde aceton-butanol produseres vanligvis iløpet av 48 timer. Temperature and pH conditions depend on the microorganism and the type of cellulase used, but it is generally desirable to have optimal conditions in the range 30-55°C and pH 4-6. Fermentation times also differ depending on the type of cellulosic material, acetone-butanol-producing microorganism and cellulase activity, but the desired amount of acetone-butanol is usually produced within 48 hours.

Som det fremgår fra nedenstående eksempel, representerer foreliggen.de oppfinnelse ikke bare en forenkling av produksjonen, men også en reduksjon av glukoseinhiberingen av cellulasereak-sjonen, samt av den aceton-butanolproduserende mikroorganisme, sammenlignet med den konvensjonelle metode som består av en to-trinnsprosess, dvs. forsukring og fermentering, fordi i foreliggende oppfinnelse holdes sukkerkonsentrasjonen i mediet lav gjennom hele fermenteringsprosessen. Som et resultat får man en betydelig utbytteøkning av aceton-butanol fra cellulosen. As can be seen from the example below, the present invention represents not only a simplification of the production, but also a reduction of the glucose inhibition of the cellulase reaction, as well as of the acetone-butanol-producing microorganism, compared to the conventional method which consists of a two-step process , i.e. saccharification and fermentation, because in the present invention the sugar concentration in the medium is kept low throughout the entire fermentation process. As a result, a significant yield increase of acetone-butanol from the cellulose is obtained.

Ifølge oppfinnelsen er det således tilveiebragt en fremgangsmåte for økonomisk og fordelaktig fremstilling i et trinn av aceton og butanol fra et celluloseholdig materiale. According to the invention, a method has thus been provided for the economic and advantageous production in one step of acetone and butanol from a cellulose-containing material.

Kommersielt tilgjengelig cellulase ble utsaltet med ammoniumsulfat og avsaltet, og deretter liofilisert.for opp-nåelse av en ren cellulase. Commercially available cellulase was salted out with ammonium sulfate and desalted, and then lyophilized to obtain a pure cellulase.

Ett gram av denne cellulase ble oppløst i 100 ml vann med pH regulert til 4,5 og 10 g cellulosepulver (under 100 mesh) ble tilsatt. Deretter ble forsukring utført ved 45°C i 48 timer. Når forsukringen var ferdig, ble reaksjonsoppløsningen analysert ved væskekromatografi og 3,2 g glukose ble funnet. Denne cellulase hadde,med andre ord, den ovenfor nevnte aktivitet. One gram of this cellulase was dissolved in 100 ml of water with pH adjusted to 4.5 and 10 g of cellulose powder (below 100 mesh) was added. Saccharification was then carried out at 45°C for 48 hours. When saccharification was complete, the reaction solution was analyzed by liquid chromatography and 3.2 g of glucose was found. In other words, this cellulase had the above-mentioned activity.

Sammenligningseksempel One gram of the above-mentioned cellulase and 5 ml of the germ culture prepared as indicated were added to 100 ml of well-stirred medium B. The mixture was adjusted to pH 6.5 and then allowed to ferment anaerobically at 37°C for 48 hours, while The pH value was regulated so that it did not fall below 4.5. Comparative example

(1) Det ovenfor angitte medium B ble omrørt grundig og til 100 ml av dette medium ble det tilsatt 3 g av nevnte cellulase. Blandingen ble regulert til pH 4,5 og fikk forsukres ved 45°C i 48 timer. Når den resulterende sukkeroppløsning ble analysert, fant man at 6,3 g glukose var fremstilt. Sukker-oppløsningen (glukoseinnhold 6,3 g) ble varmesterilisert og 5 ml av kimkulturen fremstilt som tidligere beskrevet, ble tilsatt. Deretter ble en aceton-butanolfermentering utført anaerobt ved 3 7°C i 48 timer. (2) 5 ml av kimkulturen fremstilt som angitt ovenfor, ble inokkulert i 100 ml av nevnte medium A som hadde blitt varmesterilisert. Blandingen ble regulert til pH 6,5 og fikk reagere anaerobt ved 37°C i 48 timer under regulering av pH-verdien, slik at den ikke falt under 4,5. De oppnådde resul-tater er angitt i nedenstående tabell. Produktene ble analysert ved gasskromatografi. (1) The above-mentioned medium B was thoroughly stirred and 3 g of said cellulase were added to 100 ml of this medium. The mixture was adjusted to pH 4.5 and allowed to saccharify at 45°C for 48 hours. When the resulting sugar solution was analyzed, it was found that 6.3 g of glucose had been produced. The sugar solution (glucose content 6.3 g) was heat sterilized and 5 ml of the germ culture prepared as previously described was added. Then an acetone-butanol fermentation was carried out anaerobically at 37°C for 48 hours. (2) 5 ml of the germ culture prepared as indicated above was inoculated into 100 ml of said medium A which had been heat sterilized. The mixture was adjusted to pH 6.5 and allowed to react anaerobically at 37°C for 48 hours while adjusting the pH so that it did not fall below 4.5. The results obtained are indicated in the table below. The products were analyzed by gas chromatography.

Som det fremgår fra tabellen, oppnår man med foreliggende fremgangsmåte 1,4 ganger så mye aceton og butanol som det oppnås ved den konvensjonelle metode hvorved cellulose på forhånd hydrolysres til glukose for anvendelse som substrat (eksempel 1) eller glukose anvendes i seg selv som substrat (eksempel 2). Foreliggende oppfinnelse har følgelig den fordel at aceton og butanol fremstilles ved hjelp av en enkel en-trinnsprosess, at utbyttene av de ønskede produkter er sterkt forbedret og at forbruket av cellulase er mindre sammenlignet med de konvensjonelle metoder. As can be seen from the table, with the present method 1.4 times as much acetone and butanol is obtained as is obtained with the conventional method whereby cellulose is first hydrolysed to glucose for use as a substrate (example 1) or glucose is used in itself as a substrate (example 2). The present invention consequently has the advantage that acetone and butanol are produced using a simple one-step process, that the yields of the desired products are greatly improved and that the consumption of cellulase is less compared to the conventional methods.
