2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, fermentation waste liquid has been concentrated by an evaporation method, and the concentrated liquid is used as fertilizer. On the other hand, distillate has been subjected to activated sludge treatment and then discharged to rivers and the like. But,
According to such a method for treating fermentation waste liquid, there is a problem that not only a bad odor is generated when the waste liquid is evaporated, but also energy consumption is large. Therefore, although various methods for treating such fermentation waste liquor with a membrane have been conventionally proposed, all of the methods are based on B originating from a low molecular weight organic acid.
Low OD rejection. Therefore, improvement of this point is urgently required for practical use of membrane treatment of fermentation waste liquid.

According to the present invention, there is provided a membrane treatment method for an organic acid-containing fermentation waste liquid, wherein the pH of the organic acid-containing fermentation waste liquid is adjusted to 6 or more. It is characterized by doing. In the present invention, the organic acid-containing fermentation waste liquid refers to a waste liquid obtained by culturing cells such as yeasts using molasses or the like as a main raw material and removing the cells by centrifugation or membrane treatment. The waste liquid contains a melanoidin-based pigment component derived from molasses, an organic acid produced by cells, and the like. Therefore, such effluent is acidic,
Since the pH is in the range of about 3 to 5, most of the organic acids in the waste liquid are not dissociated.

However, according to the present invention, by setting the pH of the waste liquid to be at least 6, preferably at least 7, more preferably at least 8, the organic acid in the waste liquid can be dissociated. According to the invention, it is effectively blocked by the membrane. Such pH adjustment of the waste liquid can be performed with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, or the like.

In the present invention, the film used must be a negatively charged film in order to efficiently block the dissociated organic acids by the repulsion of mutual charges by the film. It is. Such negatively-chargeable membranes include organic polymers such as polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyetherketone, polyamide, polyimide, and polyolefin, and carboxyl groups and sulfonic acid groups introduced into inorganic substances such as ceramics and porous glass. A preferred example can be cited as a preferred example.

When the pore size of such a membrane is too large, the organic acid does not pass through the membrane in the membrane treatment of the fermentation waste liquid and is not blocked. On the other hand, when the pore size is too small, the organic acid is blocked. It is not practical because the amount of permeate is too small. According to the present invention, examples of the membrane generally include an ultrafiltration membrane having a cut-off molecular weight of 3000 or less and a reverse osmosis membrane having a salt rejection of 99.9% or less.
