DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing alcohol using immobilized microorganisms, in which liquid overflowing from a reaction tank filled with immobilized microorganisms is received in a second reaction tank to continue fermentation.

In continuous alcoholic fermentation using immobilized yeast, the higher the concentration of ethanol produced or the lower the concentration of residual sugar, the more inhibited the growth of immobilized bacterial cells and the lower their activity. Conventional alcohol production yield 60
It is known that production can be carried out for a long period of time while maintaining ~80% (Linko, Y., Linko, P., Biotechnology Letters 3 (1) 21-26 (1981)).

However, when attempting to produce ethanol with a yield of 80 to 100%, the physiological activity of the immobilized bacterial cells decreases due to the high concentration of produced ethanol and the accompanying decrease in the concentration of residual sugar, and some yeast die. Therefore, stable continuous operation is difficult. On the other hand, the liquid flowing out from the immobilization reaction tank generally always contains viable bacteria at a concentration of 10 6 to 10 8 cells/ml, which is approximately the same number as in conventional batch alcoholic fermentation. . When examining various immobilization methods, the amount of viable bacteria that flows out varies depending on the type of immobilized bacteria, but all of the viable bacteria that flow out retain sufficient alcohol production ability. In order to continuously produce ethanol using immobilized microbial cells at an industrial level, it is desirable to be able to operate at high yields and for long periods of time. The present inventors have discovered that by utilizing free viable bacterial cells present in the liquor flowing out of the above-mentioned reaction tank, the yield of alcohol can be improved and continuous immobilized fermentation can be performed for a long period of time.

According to the present invention, a second reaction tank is provided following the reaction tank containing immobilized bacterial cells (hereinafter referred to as the first reaction tank), and the overflow liquid from the first reaction tank is collected in the second reaction tank until the alcohol concentration becomes high. By reacting, the sugar yield can be improved.

In the method of the present invention, the alcohol concentration in the first reaction tank can be kept lower than in the case of using a single reaction tank, so that the lifespan of the immobilized microbial cells can be kept significantly longer.

The second reaction tank used is preferably a complete mixing tank type reactor, and especially when using highly flocculating microbial cells such as yeast, the reaction rate can be increased by further stirring. Further, in the second reaction tank, it is preferable to use carbon dioxide gas generated in the immobilization reaction tank for stirring. Since the second reaction tank has a high alcohol concentration, contamination by various bacteria is slight. Even if bacteria increase, the problem can be resolved by temporary cleaning.

When carrying out the method of the present invention, the sugar concentration in the first reaction tank is generally set to 15 to 20% at the inlet and 2 to 5% at the outlet.

The smaller the proportion of remaining sugars that can be assimilated by bacteria in the second reaction tank is, the higher the alcohol to sugar yield can be, but on the contrary, the residence time will be longer. Usually, the residence time is determined on the basis of maintaining the second reaction vessel with the above-mentioned residual sugar.

Although the method of immobilizing bacterial cells to be used is not particularly limited, in continuous fermentation using immobilized growing microorganisms, leakage of bacterial cells is observed regardless of the immobilization method. In the case of continuous fermentation according to the method of the present invention, the higher the concentration of free bacterial cells present in the moromi flowing out of the reaction tank, the shorter the time required for secondary fermentation. Therefore, as a method for immobilizing bacterial cells, it is preferable to use a material that appropriately releases bacterial cells as an immobilization material.
