Long chain dicarboxylic acid general molecular formula is CnH2n-2O4, wherein n is 10-18, is that microorganism is fermented and obtained using liquid wax etc.
Metabolite.Its zymotic fluid is complicated heterogeneous system, wherein containing unreacted carbon source, microbial cell and fragment, not
The culture medium and metabolite that utilize and the secretion of microorganism etc., especially wherein contain a large amount of protein, pigment and ash
Grade impurity, has a strong impact on purity and the application of product, and the extraction to the species dicarboxylic acids brings difficulty with refined.
The method of extraction long chain dicarboxylic acid is generally divided into solvent method and Aqueous phase at present.Although solvent method can solve above-mentioned
Problem, but because solvent method is present, investment is big, and equipment corrosion is serious, and solvent and alkane and production security are remained in product
And the problems such as environmental pollution, the use of this method are greatly limited.Although traditional aqueous phase method of purification overcomes solvent
The defects of method, but its product purity and yield can not reach compared with high target.
In long chain dicarboxylic acid process for purification disclosed in CN01142806.6, using long chain dicarboxylic acid dry powder as raw material, third is used
Ketone, methanol and ethanol as solvent refining long-chain dicarboxylic acids.Dicarboxylic acids in method zymotic fluid first first after charcoal absorption, then
Acidizing crystal, filtering, washing and dry dicarboxylic acid crystallizates filter cake obtain long chain dicarboxylic acid dry powder, are then carried out using organic solvent
It is refined.The refined raw material of this method obtains dicarboxylic acids dry powder after drying for aqueous filter cake, the limitation drop to feed moisture content
The low operating flexibility of this method, the equipment that thick acid is dried is added, causes this technological process longer, adds production cost.
And this method is in the aqueous solution of the alkaline dicarboxylic acids sodium salt before obtaining dicarboxylic acid crystallizates filter cake and in solvent refining processes,
The processing of charcoal absorption twice has been carried out altogether, and those skilled in the relevant art know about, and increase an activated carbon processing procedure, meeting
Increase equipment investment and production cost, and activated carbon dosage is directly proportional to the loss of product, and activated carbon dosage is bigger, production
The yield of product is lower.And when organic solvent refines dicarboxylic acids, can typically reach the requirement of decolouring using adsorbent, but still compared with
Hardly possible removes small molecular protein therein, makes total nitrogen content undesirable.
CN1255483A discloses a kind of method of Aqueous phase separation dicarboxylic acids:Zymotic fluid heating will be terminated and remove unreacted
Alkane, then add diatom filtration sterilization;Filtrate is through adjusting pH value to obtain sour cake and filtrate;Filtrate adds activated carbon decolorizing again, then mistake
Filter;The sour cake obtained before with the filtrate dissolving after decolouring again, acidifying;Crystallization is finally obtained, drying obtains dicarboxylic acid product.
