Method for producing fuel ethanol and byproduct rice DDGS by processing rice
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fuel ethanol production, in particular to a method for producing fuel ethanol by processing rice, by-product Dried rice wine lees and soluble substances (DDGS for short) thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the increase of energy crisis, the demand of ethanol is increasing as one of the alternative fuels in the future. If the fuel ethanol is mixed with gasoline to form the ethanol gasoline for the vehicle according to the addition of 10 percent as a renewable green clean energy source, the fuel ethanol plays an important role in relieving the shortage of fossil energy, effectively reducing carbon emission, greatly reducing the pollution of harmful substances in the tail gas of the vehicle, protecting the environment and the like. Currently, the fuel ethanol yield in China is about 260 ten thousand tons per year, which accounts for only 3% of the global fuel ethanol yield, and the third rank has a significant difference from the yields of the first two ranked U.S. and Brazil. The fuel ethanol consumption of China only accounts for 2.1 percent of the gasoline consumption, so the development space for producing the fuel ethanol is huge.
At present, grains, potatoes and molasses are mainly used as raw materials for producing fuel ethanol, wherein the grains are usually corn, wheat, rice and the like. Among these cereal starchy feedstocks, corn is often the primary source of fuel ethanol, since corn is only about 15-20% of what is actually consumed by humans, and thus the fuel ethanol produced from corn is about 48% of the national annual fuel ethanol production. DDGS refers to distillers dried grains with soluble solids as a byproduct of fuel ethanol production. Because the protein content of DDGS is high (generally over 26 wt%), DDGS becomes a novel protein feed raw material widely applied by feed production enterprises at home and abroad. In recent years, the import of DDGS has increased dramatically in China, and the DDGS is the first major country for export from the United states in 2010. Along with the popularization of the method for producing fuel ethanol by using corn as a raw material in China, the yield of DDGS in China is correspondingly increased. For example, patent document CN 108374024a discloses a method for co-producing ethanol, fructose and various byproducts from sweet sorghum stalks and corn. However, the problem of DDGS in the process of producing fuel ethanol when using corn as a raw material, particularly the problem of high content of mycotoxin in corn, is the biggest obstacle to the use of DDGS produced by China as a feed raw material. In addition, in the above patent documents, the method of preparing biogas residues and biogas slurry from the vinasse with excessive mycotoxins as organic fertilizer, and the mycotoxins return to the crops after a series of treatment processes, which causes secondary pollution. Thus, it is not in fact effective in controlling mycotoxin levels in corn DDGS, but rather uses the over-graded stillage for conversion to other byproducts.
The southern China mainly plants paddy. Among the rice, middle-season rice and late-season rice provide grain and food markets, and early-season rice is frequently used as reserve grain due to the characteristics of low water content and storage durability. According to statistics of relevant data, the total yield of the rice in 2017 nationwide is 2 hundred million tons, the expected balance is 0.2 hundred million tons, and the balance in the stock is still high. In addition, the starch content in rice is between 70 and 80 wt%, and the starch content in corn is about 73.2 wt%, which shows that the starch content in rice is also sufficient for producing fuel ethanol. Therefore, the method for producing the fuel ethanol by processing the rice is a scientific and reasonable solution, and has great development significance.
The rice is the seed of rice, and is the grain made from rice through the processes of hulling, cleaning, hulling, milling and finishing. Although rice can be used for producing fuel ethanol and can produce high-quality DDGS as a byproduct, the rice produced from rice still needs multiple processes, which not only increases the process cost, but also causes waste of food resources and the like. In addition, because the outer layer of rice grain has a higher protein content than the inner layer, the protein content of rice is 7-8 wt%, whereas the protein content of rice is about 9.5 wt%, and the protein content of corn, which is commonly used for fuel ethanol production, is about 8.5 wt%. Thus, the protein content of DDGS produced by rice and corn is far less than that of rice. Therefore, the method for producing the fuel ethanol and the byproduct rice DDGS by using the rice as the raw material has obvious advantages.

Detailed Description
The invention aims to provide a method for producing fuel ethanol and a byproduct rice DDGS by processing rice, which can produce high-quality rice DDGS while ensuring high-efficiency production of the fuel ethanol and improve the utilization rate of aged grains.
The rice is generally classified into fresh grain, aged grain and aged grain. Generally, the rice produced in the same year is new grain, the rice stored for more than one year for the first time is aged grain, and the rice stored for more than 3 years is aged grain. The rice which is deteriorated after being stored is aged grain. During the storage process of the rice, under the influence of microorganisms and storage conditions, a series of physiological changes occur to the rice, and the rice often generates heat, mildew and buds. The aged grain can not be eaten as the grain for oral administration because the nutrition and the edible value are obviously reduced.
In the invention, the rice is used as the raw material for producing fuel ethanol and rice DDGS, and fresh grain, aged grain and aged grain can be used as the raw material. Generally, the shorter the storage time of rice, the lower the mycotoxin level, and the higher the quality of the resultant rice DDGS (i.e., the lower the mycotoxin level), however, the use of short-term stored rice tends to result in wasted food. Therefore, it is preferable to use aged grains that cannot be directly used as a ration in the present invention. Furthermore, the inventors have found that even when aged grain is used in the process of the present invention, the rice DDGS produced therefrom is generally of a higher quality than corn DDGS produced from corn.
In the present invention, the quality of DDGS is determined by its protein content and mycotoxin content. The higher the protein content and the lower the mycotoxin content, the quality of DDGSThe higher. The most predominant mycotoxins in DDGS include vomitoxin, zearalenone, aflatoxin B1And ochratoxin, and the like. Compared with other mycotoxins, the content of vomitoxin and zearalenone is higher, and the toxicity is stronger. Zearalenone is widely present in some cereal crops, such as corn, sorghum, wheat and the like, and particularly in corn and its by-products, in relatively high amounts. The DDGS feed can cause strong pollution to DDGS so as to cause serious harm to animal organisms, mainly because the DDGS feed has strong reproductive toxicity and teratogenic toxicity, the DDGS feed can affect the reproductive performance of animals, reduce the growth performance, cause immunosuppression, cause cell damage and the like, so that the animal health is harmed, and huge economic loss is brought to animal husbandry, so the DDGS feed should avoid the pollution of the DDGS feed for the first time. Vomitoxin is a very common mycotoxin, has lower toxicity than zearalenone, but has strong toxicity to human and animals, and can cause vomiting reactions of many animals, and even death can be caused. In addition, vomitoxin is stable in chemical property, generally cannot be damaged in the processes of processing, storage and cooking, can be stored for a long time under laboratory conditions, keeps toxicity unchanged, has strong heat resistance, and is easy to accumulate in animals, and further accumulates in human bodies at the tail ends of food chains to cause various food poisoning phenomena.
In one embodiment, the method of the present invention uses aged grains as a raw material for production, preferably aged grains with a storage life of 3 to 5 years, and more preferably aged grains with a storage life of 3 to 4 years. The aged grain with the above age cannot be used as a food for a long time, and the content of mycotoxin (especially zearalenone) is relatively low, so that the harm caused by the fact that the mycotoxin enters a food chain is avoided from the source.
In a preferred embodiment, the method of the present invention may further comprise the step of testing and screening the rice raw material before the rice milling pretreatment to ensure that the mycotoxin level is strictly controlled within a limited standard. Further, the method for detecting the rice material is not particularly limited, and for example, high performance liquid chromatography or other feasible detection means may be used. Generally, the longer the storage time of rice under the same storage conditions, the higher the mycotoxin content. Therefore, in the invention, whether to detect and screen the raw material of the rice is selected according to the storage life of the aged grain, and preferably, the aged grain with 3-4 years can be directly used as the raw material without detection and screening; for aged grains of 5 years or more, preferably, the grains are detected and screened before the rice is crushed and pretreated.
The method of removing impurities from the rice in the step (1) is not particularly limited as long as impurities in the rice can be removed, and different removal methods may be employed for different impurities. Impurities in rice can vary depending on the source of the rice, and generally these impurities do not have any benefit for the production of fuel ethanol and DDGS and can affect production.

After the first negative pressure flash evaporation, the temperature is reduced by 6-8 ℃, and the starch molecules are further expanded and broken into small particles by the rapid change of the temperature and the pressure, so that the enzyme is more fully contacted with the starch particles. After liquefaction, secondary negative pressure flash evaporation is carried out, so that the use of a heat exchanger and cooling water is reduced, and the energy consumption is saved.

Table 2 comparison of fuel ethanol produced in examples 1-3 with national standards
Comparative example 1
The procedure of comparative example 1 was the same as in example 1 except that the aged grain was replaced with corn, to obtain ethanol as an anhydrous fuel and corn DDGS. Through calculation, the cost price of producing each ton of fuel ethanol by taking the aged grain as the raw material is 3603 yuan/t, and the cost price of taking the corn as the raw material is 4355 yuan/t, so that the aged grain has more economic advantages when being taken as the raw material.

TABLE 3 comparison of protein and mycotoxin levels of DDGS produced in examples 1-3 and comparative example 1
*: the total content refers to the total content of four mycotoxins
As can be seen from Table 3, the zearalenone content in the rice DDGS produced in examples 1-3 was lower than that in the corn DDGS in comparative example 1. Zearalenone is known to have estrogen-like action, can cause acute and chronic poisoning of animals, cause abnormal and even death of animal reproductive functions, and can cause huge economic loss to animal farms when the content of zearalenone in DDGS is too high. In addition, zearalenone is not easy to be destroyed because it is residual, and if animal takes DDGS feed with high content of zearalenone for a long time, zearalenone will accumulate in animal body for a long time, and once human takes such animal, it will also possibly cause human body lesion. Further, the total content of four mycotoxins in the DDGS produced in examples 1-3 was also lower compared to comparative example 1. It can be seen that the rice DDGS produced by the method of the present invention is safer, especially when aged grains with a storage life of 3-4 years are used, the rice DDGS produced by the method has four mycotoxin contents (especially zearalenone) which are far lower than the corn DDGS produced by corn.
In addition, the protein content in the rice DDGS produced in examples 1 to 3 was also much higher than that in the corn DDGS produced in comparative example 1, and the protein in the rice DDGS was a high-quality complete protein without allergen, which included rice protein and yeast protein. The rice DDGS obtained by the method of the present invention is also much higher in nutritional value than corn DDGS obtained by corn production.
