DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of related arts which may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention will be omitted.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The oil-water separator for an apparatus for producing organic acids by microbial organic acid fermentation according to the present invention comprises the following components,
And a transporting space for transporting the mixed liquid from one end to the other end, wherein the central axis passing through the center of the cross section of the one end and the center of the cross section of the other end are formed on different axis And an area of the transverse section at the other end is larger than an area of the transverse section at the one end;

And a fermentation liquid discharge port disposed at the other end of the oil-water separation vessel for separating the organic solvent from the organic solvent and discharging the fermentation liquid to the outside.

That is, in the present invention, unlike the conventional oil water separator, the
Specifically, in the step of producing various organic compounds such as organic acids by fermentation, an organic solvent for extracting organic acids and a fermentation liquid for extracting organic acids are mixed and contacted inside the extractor. At this time, In order to accomplish this, a strong stirring and other operations are inevitably involved. At this time, an emulsion mixture of the fermentation broth and the organic solvent is generated in accompaniment with the stirring, and even if the emulsion mixture is transferred to the next water separation step, the efficiency of the water separation efficiency is inevitably lowered. Conventionally, in order to suppress such emulsion formation, an excess amount of an organic solvent has been used. However, in this case, a large amount of expensive organic solvent is used, which causes problems such as an increase in processing cost.
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts a special structure for smooth separation of the fermentation broth and the organic solvent in the oil water separator, which is fixed inside the oil separator in the form of a membrane, and the mixed solution of the fermentation broth and the organic solvent A porous hydrophobic

At this time, in order to allow the separation mechanism to work more smoothly, the cross section of the other end may be made 2 to 9 times the area of the cross section of the one end. When the cross section of the other end is less than twice the area of the cross section of the one end, the effect according to the Bernoulli's law described above can not be sufficiently obtained, and if it exceeds 9 times, the space of the other end is inefficient This makes it difficult to operate in a high pressure state or the residence time is prolonged to induce emulsification of the fermentation broth and the organic solvent, which makes it difficult to recover the organic solvent.
The volume of the one end and the other end of the
It is preferable that a connecting portion between the one end and the other end increases in cross-sectional area from the one end toward the other end. If there is no connecting portion gently increasing the cross-sectional area from the one end to the other end, It is undesirable because there is a problem such as an increase in differential pressure and vortex generation. At this time, the volume of the connection portion may be 1.5 to 2.5 times the volume of the one end.

In the present invention, the separation membrane may be a separation membrane of a hydrophobic material selected from the group consisting of polystyrene, polyether, polyethylene, and polypropylene, And may be a channel-shaped pore formed from one surface to the other surface of the separation membrane, for smooth fluid communication, having a diameter of 100 mu m to 1,000 mu m. When the average diameter of the water separation holes formed in the separation membrane is less than 100 탆, the flow resistance is increased and the flow rate of the fluid is lowered and the separation rate is lowered or the pressure loss is increased. There is a problem that the fine emulsion which has not passed through the raw separation membrane passes through as it is and the separation efficiency is lowered. Further, it is preferable that an oil-water separation hole is formed at a proper density on the surface of the separation membrane, and the pores may be formed at a density of 10 to 1,000 per 1 cm 2 of the separation membrane unit surface area. When the pores are formed with a density less than the above range, there is a problem that the efficiency is not sufficiently exhibited as a so-called emulsion breaker. If too much pores are formed, the mechanical strength of the separation membrane may be lowered . Meanwhile, the thickness of the separation membrane may be 10 mm to 300 mm, which is also a numerical value considering the efficiency as an emulsion breaker and the mechanical strength of the separation membrane.

Meanwhile, the apparatus for producing organic acids according to the present invention is particularly suitable for the case of using an extractor in which high pressure and stirring conditions are applied for extracting organic acids. In this case, the generation of emulsion is particularly frequent between the fermentation broth and the organic solvent . Therefore, in the present invention, the organic acid extraction reaction in the extractor is carried out at a pressure of 5 bar to 50 bar and at a temperature of 4 ° C to 40 ° C for 10 minutes to 20 minutes, Under agitation conditions.

Further, although not limited thereto, the organic solvent used for organic acid extraction may be selected from the group consisting of butyl butyrate, dodecanol, oleyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof.

It is obvious that the modification or improvement is possible. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
