The invention belongs to the technical field of
fermentation liquor
filtration and extraction, and particularly relates to a beta-
carotene fermentation liquor
filtration and extraction process and equipment, and the process comprises the following steps: filtering the
fermentation liquor with a membrane to obtain a concentrated solution, carrying out top washing into an acidification tank, adding acid, then adding a
sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH value to obtain an acidified neutralized solution, filtering the acidified neutralized solution with a high-pressure plate frame, and carrying out top washing with water, and discharging to obtain mycelia; and putting into a multifunctional extraction tank, adding an extraction
solvent, pumping the extraction liquid into an extraction
liquid tank, repeating the extraction operation, finally adding water into the extracted mycelia, recovering the extraction
solvent, and conveying and collecting the mycelia. The equipment comprises a
membrane filter, an acidification tank, a high-pressure plate frame filter and a multifunctional extraction tank which are sequentially connected, and the multifunctional extraction tank is connected with the extraction
liquid tank and a spiral
slag extractor. The process and equipment are effectively combined, the
water content and impurities of mycelia are reduced after the fermentation liquor is filtered and extracted, efficient
solid-liquid extraction is achieved, and the extraction yield and the
solvent recovery rate are increased.
