Description

The method of separating and purifying citric acid
The present invention relates to a kind of method of separating and purifying citric acid.
Extracting methods of citric acid at present from thick starchy material fermented liquid or fermented glucose liquid has " calcium salt method " " ion exchange method " to reach " extraction process ".
Calcium salt method:
Because of adopting coarse fodder is raw material, adds CaO on stream, CaCO 3, neutralize, adopt dense H 2SO 4Carry out acidolysis and take off, so there is following shortcoming:
1. citric acid separation purification recovery rate only is 75%.
2. produce a large amount of CaSO 4Waste residue produces 1 ton of citric acid usually and can produce 2 tons of CaSO 4Waste residue still can't be administered at present and causes accumulation, serious environment pollution and reduce final product quality.
3. the intermediate citrate of lime is the sludge thing, makes the production can not serialization, has strengthened labour intensity.
4. carry out its equipment of acidolysis with the vitriol oil and pipeline perishable, and adopt stainless steel, improved cost.
5. neutralization all needs to carry out the CaSO that obtains in addition under 80 ℃ of-90 ℃ of temperature with the acidolysis process 4For solid-state, need to use mechanical transmission, therefore power consumption is big.
6. when adopting thick potato dry powder raw material, because raw material impurity is many, the citric acid impurity of producing is also many, does not reach elaboration citric acid level.
Ion exchange method, its technical process is as follows:
Figure 9610980700031
Weak point:
1. the citric acid concentration of the pure citric acid solution in decolouring back only is about 5%, again with its evaporation concentration to state of saturation, just need to consume a large amount of energy.
2. soluble protein, sugar, colloid and other impurity remove unclean in the citric acid solution after freeing, decolouring, remain in the mother liquor in a large number, mother liquor still need adopt " calcium salt method " to reclaim citric acid, has not only increased operation, and a series of shortcomings of bringing " calcium salt method " to exist again.
Extraction process is to adopt special extraction agent that the citric acid extracting and separating is purified, and its shortcoming is: because of adopting coarse fodder is raw material, and wherein impurity is many, thereby reduces extraction coefficient.Obtain citric acid concentration at last and be up to 5%, thus the energy expenditure of increase back operation; The production cost height; Extract the recovery rate instability simultaneously.
The external glucose fermentation liquid that adopts is that raw material is produced citric acid with calcium salt method or extraction process more, and its shortcoming is:
1. raw material is that fine fodder is a fermented glucose liquid, is not suitable for China's national situation.
2. thereby owing to produce the shortcoming that citric acid has brought calcium salt method with calcium salt method.
3. the extraction agent that adopts when producing citric acid as with extraction process is poisonous, so the citric acid of production can not be used for food, only is used in industrial abroad.
The objective of the invention is to provide in order to overcome the shortcoming that exists in the above-mentioned prior art a kind of can with the coarse fodder raw material can with fine fodder produce citric acid and realize efficient, energy-conservation, reduce cost, reduce environmental pollution, separate and remove organic impurity and extract recovery rate and finally improve the citric acid final product quality and try to achieve the novel process that in same technical process, can produce Trisodium Citrate simultaneously to greatest extent to improve citric acid concentration, to improve.
The present invention be achieved in that this method comprise with citric acid fermentation broth filter, negatively charged ion absorption exchanges, free, positive post transition, decolouring, evaporation concentration, crystallization, separation, its raw material of drying step be thick starchiness or fermented glucose liquid, operation obtains directly going up anion column absorption exchange after the clear liquid after filtration, and used weakly-basic anion absorption exchange resin is a 0.8-1.0g/g over dry resin; Free in the operation that to adopt concentration be the NaOH of 4%-20% or the NH of 8%-30% 4OH carries out alkaline hydrolysis and takes off, and changes absorption exchange column internal pressure simultaneously and promptly is forced into 4.9 * 10 4Emptying to pressure is zero behind the Pa, and 2 to 3 times so repeatedly, adding dilute alkali in freeing liquid more afterwards and transferring pH value is 7.5-14, changes the pressure and temperature of freeing liquid simultaneously, and its method is: adopted the normal pressure heated and boiled 10-15 minute; Or employing reduces pressure 8.7 * 10 4The Pa heating under vacuum was boiled 10-15 minute; Or employing is pressurized to 4.9 * 10 4Pa-9.8 * 10 4Pa heats up 100 ℃-120 ℃ and boiled 10-15 minute; Or adopt the normal pressure heated and boiled to be chilled to the method for room temperature after 10-15 minute.Extract recovery rate to quicken the removing impurity process with raising impurity-eliminating effect, raising citric acid.
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1: process flow sheet of the present invention.
The present invention makes citric acid fermentation broth take the starchiness such as potato class or glucose as raw material after fermentation, Be clear liquid after filtering then impurity such as removing mycelium, adopt weakly-basic anion absorption exchanger resin, its Inhale the friendship capacity and can reach greatly 0.8-1.0g/g over dry resin, and have stronger antifouling property, can be straight Connect filtered fluid upper prop absorption exchange (without the decolouring removal of impurities), citric acid is adsorbed on the absorption exchanger resin Upward separate with other impurity. Separate, free the colloidal nature of liquid according to citric acid, the present invention changes former Come acidolysis to take off the shortcoming that reduced sugar is higher, readily carbonizable substances is not up to standard that method exists. Add 4-and adopt 20%NaOH or 8-30%NH4The alkaline hydrolysis of OH takes off method citric acid is separated from the absorption exchanger resin Take off. Be in the scope of 8-10 by the PH that regulates that adds dilute alkali simultaneously. Destroy citric acid and free liquid Colloidal stability, make the impurity coacervations such as a small amount of soluble protein of sneaking into, sugar, colloid, heteroacid from lemon The lemon acidolysis is taken off in the liquid and is separated. Because having adopted, the present invention changes the absorption exchange column when the absorption exchange process Internal pressure (4.9 * 104Pa is to emptying, 2 to 3 times repeatedly) and the absorption exchanger resin is fully mixed Method still need not criticized " regeneration " so do not need to resemble from the friendship method after washing glue process resin, can reach Free in the liquid citric acid concentration 15% or more and to improve total recovery rate be 85% to improving citric acid, same The time reduced the consumption of water, acid, alkali.
The present invention is by changing the pressure and temperature method, accelerate impurity coacervation above-mentioned, promote the reaction of the substance decomposition such as carbohydrate and protein and other material and protein, change pressure and temperature can adopt four kinds of methods as: heating was boiled 10-15 minute under the normal pressure, or decompression (8.7 * 104The pa vacuum) boils also available pressurization (4.9 * 10 in 10-15 minute4Pa-9.8×10 4Pa) be heated to 100-120 ℃ Boiled 10-15 minute, also available heating is boiled after 10-15 minute and is cooled to rapidly room temperature, namely with React under upper any pressure and temperature condition and can make all that citric acid content reaches in the citric acid solution More than 15%, residual sugar content below 0.02%, readily carbonizable substances reaches British Standard, do not detect simultaneously The heteroacid such as oxalic acid, gluconic acid. Free in the liquid at this then and add powder activated carbon and decolour, filter After positive post operation transition, remove metal ion (Na with cationic ion-exchange resin+、NH 4 +) again through two Get the elaboration citric acid after inferior decolouring, evaporation and concentration, crystallization, the separation. If absorption exchanges and alkaline hydrolysis in front Take off operation adopt NaOH should free liquid again through remove organic impurities, decolorization filtering is straight transition without positive post Each operation (seeing Fig. 1) then can get the natrium citricum finished product after tapping into capable secondary decolourization. This shows same Only need save positive post operation transition in one technological process and can obtain another kind of product-natrium citricum.
