Abstract

ABSTRACT
Proposed is a process of separating acids from substrates containing salts and carbohydrates in which the substrates are made to pass over resins adsorptively removing the acids from the substrate and the acids are subsequently separated from the resins by elution, with the particular feature that basic ion exchange resins are used as the resins.

Description

2nn7~26 The invention relates to a process of separating acids from substrates contain1ng salts and carbohydrates, in which the substrates are made to pass over res1ns adsorptively removing the acids from the substrates and the aclds are subsequently separated from the resins by e1ut10n.
Organ1c and inorganic ac1ds are used in many branches of industry:
1n appl1cat10ns 1n the fields of pharmaceut1cals and foodstuffs, but also when used 1n pur1fying chemicals, these must be of part1cularly h1gh qual1ty.
~ p to now, proposed pur1f1cation methods for ac~ds, ln addltion to prec1p1tat10n as heavy metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt, have been 11qu1d/11quid extract10n and the format10n of volat11e der1vat1ves (for 1nstance methyl esters). All these methods are also used on an 1ndustr1al scale for the process1ng of techn~cally 1mportant u1ds such as lact1c ac1d, mal1c ac1d, succ1n1c ac1d, tartar1c ac1d, c1tr1c ac1d, glucon1c ac1d and phosphoric ac1d. However, the processes ment10ned have ser10us drawbacks. The pur1ficat10n methods provid1ng or the ac1d to be 1solated v1a an 1nsoluble salt consume large amounts ;;
of aux111ary chem1cals. ln most cases, a spar1ng1y soluble calc1um sa1t ~s formed and subsequent1y reacted with sulfur1c ac1d to form the free ac1d and an equ1molar amount of gypsum. ln addit10n to the j expense for 11me and su1fur1c ac1d, the gypsum formed must be d1scarded. Pur~f1cat10n methods based on the d1stribut10n between two mutua11y 1nsoluble phases and processes 1n wh1ch the acid 1s reacted to a more volat11e derivat1ve operate w1th large amounts of organ1c solvents const~tuting a safety and environmenta1 hazard.

Methods of the pur1f1cat10n of citrlc acld by means of liquid/liquid extract10n are d1sclosed in US-PS 4 251 671 and 4 334 095 as well as 1n AT-PS 382 364.
A process of 1solat1ng citric acid from fermentat10n broths by the format10n of spar1ngly soluble salts is disclosed in US-PS 2 810 755.
Further processes of extract1ng tartar1c actd,c1tric acid, mal1c ac1d and lact1c ac1d were proposed 1n DE-OS 1 443 538 and EP O 049 429.

As a further pur1ficat10n measure, US-PS 4 720 579 d1scloses the adsorpt10n of citr1c ac1d on neutral, non-10nogen1c, macroret1cular, water-1nsoluble res1ns. The eluant used 1s water or a mixture of water and acetone. The process 1s capable of separating salts and carbohydrates from the citric acid.
The present 1nvention is based on the state of the art represented by US-PS 4 720 579. On principle, the ob~ect is to pass substrates conta1n1ng acids, salts and carbohydrates over resins selectively , ~ .

2~C~7~l26 acting as adsorbers for the acid;, while the other components of the substrates are passed on. The acids whose purification or recovery is intended are subsequently obtained by elution of the charged res1ns.
It was now surprisingly found that basic ion exchange resins are su1table for the chromatographic isolation and/or purification of ac1ds 1n general, 1.e. as well as of organic as of inorganic acids, wlth fru1t ac1ds to be particularly mentioned among the carboxylic ac1ds. Of the typ1cal ac1dic organic edible acids , tartaric acid, c1tr1c acld, mal1c ac1d, fumaric acid and succinic acid are usually des1gnated as fruit ac1ds 1n 11terature.
The ac1ds are adsorbed selectively and reversibly and the ;~
pur1f1cat10n effects obta1ned and the charging capac1ty of the resins are substant1ally h19her than those of the non-ionogen1c resins.
The process accord1ng to the invent10n of chromatographically pur1fy1ng or separat1ng acids is thus ma1nly characterized 1n that bas1c 10n exchange res1ns are used for the separation.
The use of bas1c 10n exchange resins for the purificat10n of fru1t ac1ds 1s known per se 1n processes 1n wh1ch the fru1t ac1ds themse1ves pass through the 10n exchanger bed while impurities in the substrate such as stronger ac1ds or salts are retained on the resin by 10n exchange. The 10n exchange resins are regenerated in this ;-, known process pr10r to the break-through of the impur1ties , the charge be1ng removed. ; DD-PS 203 533 discloses an ion exchange process for the recovery of carboxylic and oxycarboxylic acids from their salt solutions conta1ning foreign salts in which the salts are first converted to ~-~
~., 4 - ;~

~)07~26 ac1ds via cation exchangers in H~-form. The result is a m~xture of carboxylic acids and foreign acids. A fraction of this mixture of low concentrat10n is then used for first charg~ng an anion exchanger present 1n the base or hydroxyl form , thus substantially converting 1t to the carboxylic acid form. A higher concentrated fraction of the ac1d m1xture obtained in the decationization step is then passed over the 10n exchanger charged with acid, with the acid to be recovered pass1ng the res1n bed unhampered and merely the stronger foreign anions (ch10r1de be1ng ment10ned) be1ng bound to the resin by 10n exchange.
DE-OS 29 31 759 relates to the separat10n of citric ac1d from a m1xture w1th oxallc acid and n~tric acid ln wh1ch this mixture is passed over an anion exchanger wh1ch was optionally previously equillbrated w1th c1tr1c ac1d. The 10n exchanger withdraws nitr1c acid and oxal1c ac1d from th1s m1xture by ion echange wh11e the c1tr1c acid passes through the column.
DE-OS 25 43 332 relates to a process of separat1ng maleic acid 1mpur1t1es from synthet1c tartar1c acid wh1ch 1s passed over bas1c an10n exchangers present 1n hydroxyl or tartrate form. The 10n exchanger aga1n w1thdraws the stronger maleic ac1d from the mixture, wh11e the tartarlc acid to be recovered passes through the column.
In the process accord1ng to the invention, the acids to be recovered or pur1f1ed are not recovered by 10n exchange, but instead adsorptively bound to the res1ns and recovered from there by elution.
The bas1c 10n exchange resins are conveniently used for the 1solat10n and /or pur1fication of ac1ds of a PKS value within a range of from 1.2 to 4.8, preferably of from 2.1 to 3.9.
The resins are preferably employed in acid-charged form. According . ':

, . i '~ .

2~ 7 ~L
tQ ~he ~nventiQn~ the resin is conveniently charged by means of an anlon to which the resin has an equal, or higher affinity than, to thè acid to be purif1ed. The charging of the resin does not have to be carr1ed out as an expliclt operat10n, in many cases, it automatically occurs 1n the course of extended use. Particularly used are bas1c 10n exchange res1ns charged wlth hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid or sulfuric ac1d, preferably w1th sulfuric ac1d~
The an10n exchange res1ns according to the invention can be strongly or weakly basic and of gel or macroreticular structure. The ion exchangers may among others contaln a styrene/d1vinyl benzene basis or a cross-linked acrylic resin bas1s.
The elut10n can be carried out with water in a known manner; 1t 1s preferred, however, to use a diluted acid, in particular sulfuric ac1d 1n a concentrat10n range of from 0 to 1 percent. Low pH values known to be beneficial for other processes are also convenient for the process according to the 1nvention. The elution temperature can be selected between room temperature and the stabil~zation threshold temperature of the res1n, the elution is preferably carrled out at a temperature preventing the microbial contamination of the resin The process 1s preferably carried out in a quasi-continuous apparatus (s1mulated mov1ng bed), although fully continuous or batch operation 1s also poss1ble.
The 1nvent10n 1s expla1ned 1n the follow1ng by means of examples The res1ns used are conventional, commerc1ally available products accord1ng to the following table:
