저온멸균법을 이용한 목질계 당화액으로부터 고농도 에탄올 제조 방법{Process for producing ethanol with high concentration from wood hydrolysate using low-temperature sterilization}Process for producing ethanol with high concentration from wood hydrolysate using low-temperature sterilization

본 발명은 저온멸균법을 이용한 목질계 당화액으로부터 고농도 에탄올 제조 방법에 관한 것으로, 상세하게 설명하자면 나무, 폐목재, 도시유기성 폐기물의 당화액에 존재하는 포도당으로부터 효모인사카로마이세스 세레비제(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)를 이용하여 에탄올을 생산하는데 있어서, 기존의 멸균법과는 다른 저온 멸균을 통해 목질계 바이오매스(cellulosic biomass)로부터 생기는 미생물에 유해한 여러 독성물질의 생성을 억제하도록 하고 상기 효모를 이용하여 목질계 바이오매스로부터 고농도로 에탄올을 생산하는 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a high-concentration ethanol production process from lignocellulosic Hydrolyzate with low temperature myeolgyunbeop, described in detail gritty wood, waste wood, in yeast Saccharomyces from the glucose present in the saccharification mixture urban organic waste, my process serenity non-zero (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in the production of ethanol, by the low temperature sterilization different from the conventional sterilization method to suppress the production of various toxic substances harmful to microorganisms generated from cellulosic biomass and the yeast system A method for producing ethanol at high concentration from biomass.

목질계 바이오매스는 환경친화성과 값싸고 풍부하게 존재한다는 이유로 인해 이들 물질을 이용하여 에탄올 등 유용한 물질을 생산하고자 하는 연구가 최근에 관심을 끌고 있다(참조: Lynd et al., Science, 251: 1318-1323 (1991)).Woody biomass has recently attracted interest in producing useful substances such as ethanol using these materials due to their environmental friendliness and inexpensive and abundant existence (Lynd et al., Science, 251: 1318). -1323 (1991)).

미생물을 이용하여 목질계 바이오매스로부터 유용한 물질을 생산하기 위해서는 포도당 등 미생물이 이용할 수 있는 형태의 당으로 목질계 바이오매스를 전처리하는 것이 필요하다.In order to produce useful substances from woody biomass using microorganisms, it is necessary to pretreat woody biomass with sugars in the form of microorganisms such as glucose.

그러나 목질계 바이오 매스를 전처리하는 과정에서 많은 종류의 미생물의 성장에 나쁜 독성물질들이 생성된다.However, pretreatment of wood-based biomass produces toxic substances that are bad for the growth of many microorganisms.

일반적으로 미생물을 이용하여 에탄올 등 유용물질을 생산하는 경우 정제 등에 드는 비용을 고려할 때 미생물로부터 생산된 에탄올 등 유용물질의 농도가 높을수록 경제성이 있다.In general, in the case of producing useful substances such as ethanol using microorganisms, the higher the concentration of useful substances such as ethanol produced from microorganisms, the more economical the economical cost is.

그러나 목질계 바이오매스를 이용하는 경우, 이러한 독성물질들로 인해 에탄올 등의 유용물질을 고농도로 생산할 수 없었다.However, when using wood-based biomass, these toxic substances could not produce high concentrations of useful substances such as ethanol.

그리하여 이들 독성물질들을 활성탄, 석회(lime) 등을 이용하여 화학적으로 처리하여 독성을 줄이는 연구가 있어 왔다(Parajo et al., Bioresource Technol., 57: 179-185 (1996), Rivard et al., Appl. Biochem. Biotechnol., 57-58: 183-191 (1996)).Thus, there have been studies to reduce the toxicity by chemically treating these toxic substances with activated carbon, lime, etc. (Parajo et al., Bioresource Technol., 57: 179-185 (1996), Rivard et al., Appl. Biochem.Biotechnol., 57-58: 183-191 (1996)).

그러나 이들 화학적 처리는 첨가 물질의 분리 등 또 다른 문제점을 야기하고 있으며 또한 그 처리 능력도 물질, 방법에 따라 차이가 있어 목질계 바이오 매스로부터 경제적으로 에탄올을 생산하기 위해서는 이들 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 또 다른 방법의 개발이 필요하였다.However, these chemical treatments cause other problems, such as separation of additive materials, and the processing capacity varies depending on the materials and methods, so that these problems can be solved in order to economically produce ethanol from woody biomass. Development of the method was needed.

또한 에탄올 등 범용 화학제품을 목질계 바이오매스로부터 경제적으로 생산하기 위해서는 생산된 에탄올 농도뿐만 아니라 발효기의 생산성도 매우 중요하여 효율적인 발효공정의 개발도 필요하다.In addition, in order to economically produce general-purpose chemicals such as ethanol from woody biomass, not only the produced ethanol concentration but also the productivity of the fermenter is very important, and therefore, it is necessary to develop an efficient fermentation process.

본 발명의 목적은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 목질계 바이오매스로부터 에탄올을 생산하는데 있어서 기존 공정에서 사용하는 고온 멸균대신에, 저온 멸균법을 이용하여 일반적인 방법에 의해 생산 가능한 에탄올 농도 이상을 얻을 뿐만 아니라 생산성도 높게 에탄올을 생산할 수 있는 회분식 및 연속식 에탄올 발효 공정을 제공하는데 있다.It is an object of the present invention to obtain ethanol concentration that can be produced by a general method using low temperature sterilization instead of high temperature sterilization in the conventional process in producing ethanol from woody biomass to solve the above problems. It is to provide a batch and continuous ethanol fermentation process capable of producing ethanol with high productivity.

이하 본 발명을 실시예를 들어 상세히 기술하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Examples.

실시예 1Example 1

: 저온 멸균법에 의한 목질계 바이오 매스로부터 고농도 에탄올 생산(회분식): Production of high concentration ethanol from woody biomass by low temperature sterilization (batch)

본 발명에 사용한 균주는 산업균주인 사카로마이세스 세레비제로 이 균주는 서영주정으로부터 분양받았다.The strain used in the present invention was Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an industrial strain, and the strain was distributed from Seoyoung.

접종을 위해 사용한 배지의 조성은 0.3% 이스트 익스트랙트(yeast extract), 0.3% 멀트 익스트랙트(malt extract), 0.5% 박토 펩톤(bacto peptone), 2% 포도당을 기본으로 하였으며 필요에 따라 농도를 조절하여 사용하였다.The composition of the medium used for inoculation was based on 0.3% yeast extract, 0.3% malt extract, 0.5% bacto peptone, and 2% glucose. Was used.

이때 사용한 목질계 당화액은 참나무를 우선 8L 증기폭쇄기를 이용하여 215℃에서 15분간 폭쇄하고, 30L 반응기를 이용하여 20 유닛(unit)의 필터페이퍼 활성도(filter paper activity)와 30유닛의 베타글루코시데이즈 활성도(β-glucosidase activity)를 가지게 조절한 셀룰라제(cellulase)와 베타글루코시데이즈 효소를 투여하여 50℃에서 3일간 당화한 후, 진공증발기를 이용하여 원하는 포도당 농도로 농축하여 사용하였다.The wood-based saccharification liquid used was first pulverized oak for 15 minutes at 215 ° C. using an 8L steam bomber, and 20 units of filter paper activity and 30 units of betaglucose using a 30L reactor. Cellulase and betaglucosidase enzyme adjusted to have a β-glucosidase activity were glycosylated at 50 ° C. for 3 days, and then concentrated to a desired glucose concentration using a vacuum evaporator.

목질계 당화 농축액을 이용한 에탄올 발효는 25ml의 농축액이 들어있는 100ml 플라스크를 이용하여 진탕배양기(shaking incubator)에서 발효를 수행하였다.Ethanol fermentation using wood-based saccharification concentrate was carried out in a shaking incubator using a 100 ml flask containing 25 ml of concentrate.

조업은 30℃, 150rpm에서 행하였으며 초기 pH는 5.0으로 일정하게 조절하였다.The operation was performed at 30 ° C. and 150 rpm and the initial pH was constantly adjusted to 5.0.

발효는 따로 영양배지를 첨가하지 않고 결과에 명시한 적절한 포도당 농도를 가지게 희석한 폭쇄재 당화액만을 사용하였다.The fermentation used only the explosive saccharification liquid diluted with the appropriate glucose concentration indicated in the result without the addition of nutrient medium.

도 1은 상기와 같이 준비한 당화액을 고온 멸균시(121℃) 목질계 당화액으로부터 에탄올 발효능력을 나타낸 그래프인데, 일반적인 고온 멸균을 행한 경우 목질계 당화액의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 발효속도가 늦어지고 접종량에 따라 원액을 포함하여 약 90g/L까지만 사용한 당을 모두 소모하였으며, 100g/L 이상에서는 발효가 수행되지 않았다.1 is a graph showing the ethanol fermentation capacity from the saccharified solution prepared at the high temperature sterilization (121 ℃) of the saccharified solution prepared as described above. The amount of sugar used up to about 90g / L, including the stock solution, was consumed according to the high inoculum dose, and fermentation was not performed at 100g / L or more.

이는 전처리 공정 중 생기는 발효저해물질 때문이다(참조: Palmqvist et al., Enzyme Microb. technol., 20: 286-293 (1997)).This is due to fermentation inhibitors during the pretreatment process (Palmqvist et al., Enzyme Microb. Technol., 20: 286-293 (1997)).

도 2는 당화액을 고온 멸균(121℃)후 활성탄 처리시 목질계 당화액으로부터 에탄올 발효능력을 나타낸 그래프인데, 저해물질의 영향을 감소시키기 위해 자주 사용되는 활성탄을 처리해준 경우 어느 정도 효과가 있었으나 목질계 당화액의 포도당 농도 100 g/L이상에서는 역시 발효가 이루어지지 않았다.Figure 2 is a graph showing the ethanol fermentation capacity from the wood-based saccharification solution when the saccharified solution at high temperature sterilization (121 ℃) activated carbon treatment, there was some effect when treated with activated carbon which is often used to reduce the effects of inhibitors Fermentation did not occur at the glucose concentration of 100 g / L or more of the wood-based saccharified solution.

그러나 도 3 (a, b)에서 당화액을 저온 멸균(60∼70℃, 30∼120분)을 하고 발효를 수행한 결과 고온 멸균(121℃, 15분)시 발효가 이루어지지 않은 100g/L 기질뿐만 아니라 140 g/L까지도 정상적 발효가 가능함을 보여주었다.However, as a result of the sterilization of the saccharified solution at low temperature sterilization (60-70 ° C., 30-120 minutes) in FIG. 3 (a, b), the fermentation was not performed at high temperature sterilization (121 ° C., 15 minutes). It was shown that normal fermentation was possible up to 140 g / L as well as substrate.

즉, 도 3 (a, b)는 저온 멸균시(60 ∼ 70℃, 30 ∼ 120분) 목질계 당화액으로부터 에탄올 발효능력(a: 포도당 농도, b: 에탄올 농도)을 나타낸 그래프인데, 특히 140 g/L 기질사용시 사카로마이세스 세레비제를 20%(v/v) 접종하여준 경우 발효가 2일 후 거의 완료됨을 알 수 있었으며, 이때 발효생성된 에탄올 농도와 생산성은 각각 67g/L와 1.0 g/L/h이었다.That is, Figure 3 (a, b) is a graph showing the ethanol fermentation capacity (a: glucose concentration, b: ethanol concentration) from the wood-based saccharification liquid at low temperature sterilization (60 ~ 70 ℃, 30 to 120 minutes), especially 140 Fermentation was almost complete after 2 days when inoculated with 20% (v / v) of Saccharomyces cerevises when using g / L substrate, and the ethanol concentration and productivity of fermentation were 67g / L and 1.0, respectively. g / L / h.

도 4 는 저온 멸균후(60 ∼ 70℃) 활성탄 처리(0.2 g 활성탄/g 포도당)시 목질계 당화액으로부터 에탄올 발효능력(a: 포도당 농도, b: 에탄올 농도)을 나타낸그래프인데, 기질농도 170 g/L를 사용할 때에도 100시간 이상의 적응기(lag period)가 존재하였지만 발효가 이루어져 기존의 고온 멸균법에 비해 발효가 효과적이었으며 활성탄 처리를 추가하면 더욱 효과적이었다.Figure 4 is a graph showing the ethanol fermentation capacity (a: glucose concentration, b: ethanol concentration) from the wood-based saccharification when activated carbon treatment (0.2 g activated carbon / g glucose) after low temperature sterilization (60 ~ 70 ℃), substrate concentration 170 Even when g / L was used, a lag period of 100 hours or more existed, but the fermentation was more effective than the conventional high temperature sterilization method, and the addition of activated carbon treatment was more effective.

도 5는 연속발효를 위한 내부여과기 모듈을 장착한 발효기 시스템의 모식도인데, 동 실시예 2에서는 실시예 1에 예시한 회분식과 비교하여 저온 멸균법을 이용하여 내부여과기 모듈을 장착한 발효기에서 연속식 발효를 수행하여 에탄올의 생산성 향상효과를 관찰하였다.FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a fermenter system equipped with an internal filter module for continuous fermentation.

At the same time, the liquid in the fermenter 1 is continuously discharged into the fermentation broth 6 through the filter module, and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and solids grown therein are filtered in the filter module.

이와 같이 연속발효를 계속하면 여과기 모듈에 고형물이 침적되어 압력게이지(3)가 마이너스로 떨어지며 발효액의 배출이 힘들어지게 되는데 주기적으로 백플러싱(backflushing) 장치(4)를 가동하여 여과층을 역세함으로서 발효액의 배출이 용이하도록 한다.If the continuous fermentation is continued, the solids are deposited on the filter module, so that the pressure gauge (3) falls to the negative and the discharge of the fermentation broth becomes difficult. The fermentation broth is backwashed by periodically operating the backflushing device (4). Should be easy to discharge.

연속식 발효는 먼저 회분식으로 발효를 수행한 뒤에 기질이 전부 소모된 후 희석속도(dilution rate) 0.22 h-1이상으로 운전하였다.Continuous fermentation was first performed in a batch fermentation, and then the substrate was consumed and operated at a dilution rate of 0.22 h −1 or more.

발효는 30 ℃에서 수행하였으며, 발효기내의 세포의 활성을 높게 유지하기 위해 0.5 ∼ 1.0vvm으로 공기를 공급하며 발효액중의 효모 균체를 내부여과 하였다.The fermentation was carried out at 30 ℃, in order to maintain high activity of the cells in the fermenter was supplied with air at 0.5 ~ 1.0vvm and yeast cells in the fermentation broth were internal filtration.

도 6은 저온 멸균시(60℃) 목질계 당화액으로부터 내부여과기 모듈을 장착한발효기를 이용하여 에탄올 발효능력을 나타낸 그래프인데, 발효기를 이용하여 저온 멸균한 목질계 당화액으로부터 연속 발효를 수행한 결과 포도당 137g/L과 180 g/L가 포함된 당화액의 경우 세포 농도와 에탄올 농도가 각각 1.4 ×109cells/ml, 1.5 ×109cells/ml와 58.8 g/L, 76.9 g/L에 이르러, 기존 방법에 비교하여 매우 높은 세포 농도와 에탄올 농도를 얻을 수 있었다.6 is a graph showing the ethanol fermentation capacity using the fermenter equipped with an internal filter module from the wood-based saccharified solution at low temperature sterilization (60 ℃), a continuous fermentation from the wood-based saccharified solution sterilized by using a fermenter Results For saccharified solutions containing 137 g / L and 180 g / L of glucose, the cell concentration and ethanol concentration were 1.4 × 10 9 cells / ml, 1.5 × 10 9 cells / ml, 58.8 g / L, and 76.9 g / L, respectively. As a result, very high cell concentration and ethanol concentration were obtained compared to the conventional method.

이때 에탄올 생산 수율은 0.43 g 에탄올/g 포도당이었다.Ethanol production yield was 0.43 g ethanol / g glucose.

또한 이때의 에탄올 생산성은 최고 16.9 g/L/h로 실시예 1에 예시한 회분식 배양에서의 값(1.0 g/L/h)나 고온 멸균에 의한 발효기에서의 값(6.7 g/L/h, 참조: Lee et al., Korean J. of Chem, Eng., 13: 453-456 (1996))보다 월등히 높은 결과이다.In addition, the ethanol productivity at this time is up to 16.9 g / L / h, the value in the batch culture illustrated in Example 1 (1.0 g / L / h) or the value in the fermenter by high temperature sterilization (6.7 g / L / h, See: Lee et al., Korean J. of Chem, Eng., 13: 453-456 (1996)).

저온 멸균법을 이용한 회분식 배양에서처럼, 내부여과기 모듈을 장착한 발효기를 이용한 연속 배양에서도 저온 멸균에 의한 오염문제는 발생하지 않아 목질계 당화액을 이용한 에탄올 등 유용물질 생산에 있어서 매우 효율적인 공정이었으며, 이를 폐목재, 도시유기성 폐기물로부터 에탄올 생산에 응용하는 경우 생산성이 높으므로 경제적인 측면에서 매우 긍정적인 결과를 얻었다.As in batch cultivation using low temperature sterilization method, the contamination problem by low temperature sterilization did not occur even in continuous culture using a fermenter equipped with an internal filter module, which was a very efficient process for producing useful substances such as ethanol using wood-based saccharification liquid. The applications for ethanol production from wood and municipal organic wastes have been highly economical, with high productivity.

이상에서 상세히 설명하였듯이, 본 발명은 저온 멸균을 이용하여 목질계 바이오 매스로부터 고농도 에탄올을 생산하는 방법을 제공한다.As described in detail above, the present invention provides a method for producing high concentration ethanol from woody biomass using low temperature sterilization.

또한 본 발명에 의하면, 기존의 고온 멸균법을 사용하여서는 발효가 불가능한 180g/L 포도당 농도의 고농도 목질계 당화액을 저온 멸균법과 내부여과기를 장착한 연속 발효기를 이용하여 기존 방법으로는 얻을 수 없는 76.9g/L의 에탄올 농도와 16.9 g/L/h의 에탄올 생산성을 얻을 수 있었다.In addition, according to the present invention, the high-density wood-based saccharification solution of 180g / L glucose concentration which cannot be fermented using the existing high-temperature sterilization method can not be obtained by the conventional method using a continuous fermenter equipped with low-temperature sterilization method and an internal filter 76.9g Ethanol concentration of / L and ethanol productivity of 16.9 g / L / h were obtained.

따라서 본 발명은 미생물을 이용하여 목질계 바이오매스로부터 유용한 물질을 생산하기 위해 필수적인 목질계 바이오매스의 전처리, 당화 및 멸균시 생기는 독성물질의 영향을 저온 멸균과 고생산성 발효로 최소화하여 유용물질 생성률을 향상시켜 값싸고 풍부한 목질계 바이오매스로부터 미생물을 이용하여 에탄올 등을 포함한 유용물질을 생산하는 공정의 산업화에 기여할 것이다.Therefore, the present invention minimizes the effects of toxic substances generated during pretreatment, saccharification and sterilization of wood based biomass, which are essential for producing useful materials from wood based biomass using microorganisms, by minimizing low temperature sterilization and high productivity fermentation. It will contribute to the industrialization of the process of producing useful substances, including ethanol, using microorganisms from cheap and abundant woody biomass.
