Abstract
Description
本発明は、水溶液中の非水溶性物を回収する方法に関し、より詳しくは水溶液中の微生物、特に微細藻類を回収する方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for recovering water-insoluble substances in an aqueous solution, and more particularly to a method for recovering microorganisms, particularly microalgae, in an aqueous solution.
バイオマスを用いた液体燃料、健康食品、医薬品、香粧品または動物性飼料等の製造は、持続的な経済発展に不可欠な技術である。例えば、光合成により炭化水素を生産する微生物の一種である微細藻類は潜在的生産能力の高さから期待が大きく、微細藻類を培養することで、炭化水素化合物などのバイオマスを産生させる様々な研究が既に行われている。 Production of liquid fuel, health food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, animal feed, etc. using biomass is an indispensable technology for sustainable economic development. For example, microalgae, a kind of microorganisms that produce hydrocarbons by photosynthesis, are highly expected due to their high potential production capacity, and various researches have been conducted to produce biomass such as hydrocarbon compounds by culturing microalgae. Already done.
微細藻類を用いてのバイオマスの生産には、効率的な微細藻類の培養方法、微細藻類の回収方法、更には産生するオイル等のバイオマスの抽出方法が開発されておらず、コストが高いという問題点がある。その最大の原因の一つが、微細藻類の効率的な回収方法がないことである。 For the production of biomass using microalgae, efficient microalgae cultivation methods, microalgae recovery methods, and extraction methods for biomass such as oil to be produced have not been developed, resulting in high costs There is a point. One of the biggest causes is the lack of an efficient method for collecting microalgae.
具体的には、微細藻類は通常、液中に浮遊しながら生育するため、微細藻類をバイオマスとして利用するためには、非常に希薄な濃度の微細藻類を大量の液中から回収しなければならない。加えて、微細藻類の生育のためには光エネルギーが必要であるため、十分な光の照射を確保するためには液中に存在する微細藻類の濃度を過度に高くすることが出来ない。 Specifically, since microalgae usually grow while floating in the liquid, in order to use the microalgae as biomass, a very dilute concentration of microalgae must be recovered from a large amount of liquid. . In addition, since light energy is required for the growth of microalgae, the concentration of microalgae present in the liquid cannot be excessively increased in order to ensure sufficient light irradiation.
結果として、液中に浮遊する微細藻類を回収するには、多量の水をろ過する必要があった。また、微細藻類のサイズは一般的に小さく、ろ過も容易ではなかった。このような問題を解決するための回収方法の検討として、沈殿剤を用いる方法、遠心分離機を用いる方法、微細藻類をより大型の生物の餌とした後に、該大型の生物を回収する方法などが試みられたものの、いずれの方法も根本的な解決には至っていない。 As a result, in order to collect the microalgae floating in the liquid, it was necessary to filter a large amount of water. Also, the size of microalgae is generally small and filtration is not easy. As a study of a recovery method for solving such problems, a method using a precipitant, a method using a centrifuge, a method of recovering the large organism after feeding microalgae to a larger organism, etc. However, none of these methods has led to a fundamental solution.
また、生活排水等による水域内への栄養塩の供給と蓄積が要因として起こる富栄養化により、湖沼等の閉鎖性水域では、アオコ等の藻類の異常増殖が発生する。このような藻類の異常増殖により、水道の取水、水産、農業または観光の場としての水環境の利用への障害が生じる。このため、異常増殖した微細藻類を効率的に回収する浄化技術が必要とされている。 In addition, due to eutrophication that occurs due to the supply and accumulation of nutrient salts in the water area due to domestic wastewater and the like, abnormal growth of algae such as sea lions occurs in closed water areas such as lakes. Such abnormal growth of algae creates obstacles to the use of the water environment as a place for water intake, fisheries, agriculture or tourism. Therefore, there is a need for a purification technique that efficiently recovers abnormally grown microalgae.
これまでに、水中の微細藻類等の非磁性物質に対し磁性を付し、磁性フロックを形成させ、その後に、磁気分離装置で水中から微細藻類を分離回収する磁気分離方法が開発されている(非特許文献1)。この磁気分離方法は、高磁場を利用することで高速分離処理が可能で、装置もコンパクトになること、物理的に処理するために化学薬剤を要しないこと等の利点がある。 So far, a magnetic separation method has been developed in which magnetism is applied to nonmagnetic substances such as microalgae in water to form a magnetic floc, and then microalgae are separated and recovered from water with a magnetic separator ( Non-patent document 1). This magnetic separation method is advantageous in that high-speed separation processing is possible by using a high magnetic field, the apparatus is compact, and no chemical agent is required for physical processing.
非特許文献1の技術では、非磁性物質に対し磁性を付し、磁性フロックを形成させるための工程において時間および手間を要し、さらにはマグネタイトと磁性フロックの形成しやすさが藻類の形態によって異なり、微細藻類の種類によって回収率が変化するため、実用化しにくいという問題点がある。 In the technique of Non-Patent Document 1, it takes time and labor to attach magnetism to a non-magnetic substance and form a magnetic floc, and the ease of forming magnetite and magnetic floc depends on the form of algae. Unlikely, since the recovery rate varies depending on the type of microalgae, there is a problem that it is difficult to put into practical use.
本発明は、微細藻類等の非水溶性物を水溶液中から効率的、簡便かつ低コストで回収する方法を提供することを目的とする。 An object of this invention is to provide the method of collect | recovering water-insoluble matter, such as microalgae, from aqueous solution efficiently, simply and at low cost.
本発明者は上記の目的を達成するため、鋭意検討した結果、水溶液中の非水溶性物を効率的に回収する方法を見出した。すなわち、本発明は下記の構成により達成されるものである。 As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventor has found a method for efficiently recovering a water-insoluble material in an aqueous solution.

下限臨界共溶温度を有する温度応答性ポリマーが表面修飾された磁性微粒子としては、具体的には、例えば、JNC社製「Therma−Max(登録商標)」(以下、「サーママックス」という場合がある。)[例えば、JNC社製「Therma−Max(登録商標)LC Carboxylic acid」(以下、「TM−LC」という場合がある。)]等が挙げられる。 Specific examples of magnetic fine particles whose surface is modified with a temperature-responsive polymer having a lower critical eutectic temperature include, for example, “Therma-Max (registered trademark)” manufactured by JNC (hereinafter referred to as “thermamax”). (For example, “Therma-Max (registered trademark) LC Carboxylic acid” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “TM-LC”) manufactured by JNC).
JNC社製「Therma−Max(登録商標)」は、酸化鉄磁性微粒子表面にN−イソプロピルアクリルアミド(以下、「NIPAM」という場合がある。)のポリマーが修飾されている。本明細書において、単に「サーママックス」という場合は、温度応答性磁性微粒子を示しており、「サーママックス溶液」、「サーママックス原液」という場合は、温度応答性磁性微粒子にバッファー等を含んでいることを示している。 In “Therma-Max (registered trademark)” manufactured by JNC, a polymer of N-isopropylacrylamide (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “NIPAM”) is modified on the surface of iron oxide magnetic fine particles. In this specification, “thermamax” simply indicates temperature-responsive magnetic fine particles, and “thermamax solution” and “thermamax undiluted solution” indicate that the temperature-responsive magnetic fine particles include a buffer or the like. It shows that.
NIPAMのポリマー水溶液はポリマーの重合度により下限臨界共溶温度を制御することができ、32℃前後に下限臨界共溶温度を有し、この温度未満では水に分散するが、これ以上の温度では凝集し容易に磁気で回収できるようになる。 The NIPAM polymer aqueous solution can control the lower critical eutectic temperature depending on the degree of polymerization of the polymer, has a lower critical eutectic temperature around 32 ° C., and disperses in water below this temperature, but at higher temperatures Aggregates and can be easily recovered magnetically.
したがって、サーママックスは、その粒子表面を被覆しているNIPAMにより、溶液温度32℃を境として凝集と分散の両状態の間で可逆的に変化する。そのため、粒子が均一に溶液中に分散している32℃未満の分散状態では、磁気分離は容易ではないが、溶液温度を32℃以上にすると磁性微粒子は凝集塊を形成し始め、磁気分離が容易に可能となる。 Therefore, the thermamax reversibly changes between both agglomerated and dispersed states at a solution temperature of 32 ° C. due to NIPAM coating the particle surface. For this reason, magnetic separation is not easy in a dispersion state of less than 32 ° C. in which the particles are uniformly dispersed in the solution. However, when the solution temperature is raised to 32 ° C. or more, the magnetic fine particles start to form aggregates, and magnetic separation does not occur. Easy to do.
上限臨界共溶温度を有する温度応答性ポリマーは、分散状態では回収困難な磁性微粒子に前記温度応答性ポリマーを表面修飾することで、上限臨界共溶温度未満に温度を低下させることにより、回収可能な大きさの塊に刺激応答性磁性微粒子を凝集させる能力を有していることが必要である。逆に、上限臨界共溶温度以上に温度を上昇させることにより、凝集した刺激応答性磁性微粒子を分散させることができる。本発明の方法に好適に用いることができる温度応答性ポリマーの重合度は、通常50〜10000である。 A temperature-responsive polymer having an upper critical eutectic temperature can be recovered by lowering the temperature below the upper critical eutectic temperature by surface-modifying the temperature-responsive polymer to magnetic fine particles that are difficult to recover in a dispersed state. It is necessary to have the ability to agglomerate stimulus-responsive magnetic fine particles in a large-sized lump. On the contrary, the aggregated stimulus-responsive magnetic fine particles can be dispersed by raising the temperature to the upper critical solution temperature or higher. The degree of polymerization of the temperature-responsive polymer that can be suitably used in the method of the present invention is usually 50 to 10,000.
上限臨界共溶温度を有する温度応答性ポリマーとしては、具体的には、例えば、アクリロイルグリシンアミド、メタクリロイルグリシンアミド、アクリロイルアスパラギンアミド、メタクリロイルアスパラギンアミド、アクリロイルグルタミンアミドおよびメタクリロイルグルタミンアミドからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種類の単重合体又は共重合体(コポリマー)が挙げられる。 The temperature-responsive polymer having the upper critical eutectic temperature is specifically selected from the group consisting of, for example, acryloyl glycinamide, methacryloyl glycinamide, acryloyl asparagine amide, methacryloyl asparagine amide, acryloyl glutamine amide, and methacryloyl glutamine amide. There may be mentioned at least one homopolymer or copolymer (copolymer).
下限臨界共溶温度を有する温度応答性ポリマーおよび上限臨界共溶温度を有する温度応答性ポリマーは、例えば、上記モノマーを有機溶媒又は水に溶解し、不活性ガスで系中を置換した後、重合温度まで昇温し、有機溶媒中であればアゾビスイソブチロニトリル等のアゾ系開始剤、過酸化ベンゾイル等の過酸化物、水系であれば過硫酸アンモニウム、過硫酸カリウム、2,2’−アゾビス(2−アミジノプロパン)二塩酸塩、4,4’−アゾビス(4−シアノ吉草酸)等の重合開始剤を添加し、攪拌下加熱を続けることにより得ることができる。その後、貧溶媒中で再沈殿を行い、析出したポリマーをろ取することで、製造したポリマーを精製することができる。 The temperature-responsive polymer having the lower critical eutectic temperature and the temperature-responsive polymer having the upper critical eutectic temperature are polymerized after, for example, dissolving the monomer in an organic solvent or water and replacing the system with an inert gas. The temperature is raised to an temperature, and in an organic solvent, an azo initiator such as azobisisobutyronitrile, a peroxide such as benzoyl peroxide, and an aqueous solvent such as ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, 2,2′- It can be obtained by adding a polymerization initiator such as azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride or 4,4′-azobis (4-cyanovaleric acid) and continuing heating with stirring. Thereafter, reprecipitation is performed in a poor solvent, and the produced polymer can be purified by filtering the precipitated polymer.

非水溶性物を含有する水溶液中への刺激応答性磁性微粒子の添加量は、水溶液中の非水溶性物と等量以上を添加することが好ましい。短時間で非水溶性物を吸着するためには、非水溶性物の濃度が低い場合でも高い回収率とするように刺激応答性磁性微粒子の添加量を大きくすることが好ましい。回収対象の非水溶性物を含有する水溶液の非水溶性物の濃度の範囲と、目標とする回収率に対応する刺激応答性磁性微粒子の必要量は予備試験により確認した後、添加量を設定することが好ましい。 It is preferable that the amount of the stimulus-responsive magnetic fine particles added to the aqueous solution containing the water-insoluble material is equal to or greater than that of the water-insoluble material in the aqueous solution. In order to adsorb the water-insoluble material in a short time, it is preferable to increase the amount of the stimulus-responsive magnetic fine particles so as to obtain a high recovery rate even when the concentration of the water-insoluble material is low. After confirming the range of the concentration of the water-insoluble material in the aqueous solution containing the water-insoluble material to be collected and the required amount of stimuli-responsive magnetic fine particles corresponding to the target recovery rate, set the amount to be added.

前記工程(1)または工程(1’)と反対の刺激を与えるとは、具体的には、例えば、工程(1)または工程(1’)における刺激が、水溶液の温度を上昇させる刺激であった場合、工程(3)または工程(3’)における刺激は水溶液の温度を低下させる刺激を与えることを意味する。また、例えば、工程(1)または工程(1’)における刺激が、水溶液のpHを上昇させる刺激であった場合、工程(3)または工程(3’)における刺激は、水溶液のpHを低下させる刺激を与えることを意味する。 Giving a stimulus opposite to that in the step (1) or step (1 ′) is specifically, for example, the stimulus in the step (1) or step (1 ′) is a stimulus that increases the temperature of the aqueous solution. In this case, the stimulus in the step (3) or the step (3 ′) means giving a stimulus for lowering the temperature of the aqueous solution.

It means giving a stimulus.
水溶液の温度を上昇させる刺激を与える方法としては、例えば、温水を添加する方法および反応容器を加温する方法が挙げられる。また、水溶液の温度を低下させる刺激を与える方法としては、例えば、冷水を添加する方法および反応容器を冷却する方法が挙げられる。 Examples of the method for giving a stimulus for increasing the temperature of the aqueous solution include a method of adding warm water and a method of heating the reaction vessel. Moreover, as a method of giving the stimulus which reduces the temperature of aqueous solution, the method of adding cold water and the method of cooling a reaction container are mentioned, for example.
