Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively inhibit organic acid contained in waste fermentation liquid by a membrane having negatively charging properties and to drastically reduce the concentration of organic acid in the liquid permeated through this membrane by regulating the pH of waste fermentation liquid containing organic acid to specified value and treating this waste fermentation liquid by the membrane. CONSTITUTION:The pH of waste fermentation liquid containing organic acid is regulated to >=6. This waste fermentation liquid is treated by a membrane having negatively charging properties. As the waste fermentation liquid containing organic acid, blackstrap molasses is used as a main raw material and culture of fungi such as yeast is performed. Thereafter the fungi are removed by centrifugal separation and membrane treatment to obtain waste liquid. This waste liquid is acidic and large parts of organic acid contained therein are not dissociated. Therefore the organic acid contained in the waste liquid is dissociated by regulating the pH of waste liquid to alkalinity of >=6. Moreover the dissociated organic acid is efficiently inhibited by the membrane having negatively charging properties by repulsion of mutual electric charge. As this membrane having negatively charging properties, an organic polymer such as polysulfone and a membrane wherein carboxyl group is introduced into inorganic substance such as ceramic are preferably used.

2. Description of the Related Art Fermentation waste liquor is conventionally concentrated by an evaporation method and the concentrated liquor is used as a fertilizer, while a distillate is discharged into a river or the like after being treated with activated sludge. 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, various methods of treating such fermentation waste liquid with a membrane have been proposed in the past, but all of them are derived from a low-molecular weight organic acid.
The OD prevention rate is low. Therefore, improvement of this point is urgently needed for practical application of membrane treatment of fermentation waste liquid.

Means for Solving the Problems A method for membrane treatment of an organic acid-containing fermentation waste liquid according to the present invention is 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 effluent refers to a effluent obtained by culturing cells such as yeast using waste molasses as a main raw material and then removing the cells by centrifugation or membrane treatment. Such a 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,

When the pore size of such a membrane is too large, the organic acid permeates the membrane in the treatment of the fermentation effluent and is not blocked. On the other hand, when it is too small, the organic acid is blocked. It is not practical because the amount of permeated liquid is too small.
