Problems solved by technology

However, in CN201210265526.3, an extraction tower is added behind the first-level alcohol-preferential permeation membrane to realize the separation of the permeate, which increases the equipment cost
However, in the invention of CN201210228150.9, the first-level organic phase and the second-level organic phase are directly subjected to water-permeable membrane treatment and dehydration treatment, which will cause an increase in energy consumption, because the concentration of the first-level organic phase feed liquid and the second-level organic phase feed liquid is ideally the highest The value is 80wt%, generally 50wt% ~ 70wt%, at this time, using preferential water permeable membrane for separation, high energy consumption, uneconomical
However, the method for producing ethanol, acetone and butanol by pervaporation coupled rectification of ABE fermentation broth (application number CN201210225327) adopts pervaporation coupled rectification operation to produce anhydrous butanol. The passing liquid is sent to the rectification tower for multi-stage rectification separation without the advantage of phase separation. At the same time, the concentration of the first-stage pervaporation concentrate is low, and the energy consumption of the direct rectification operation is high

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating an acetone-butanol-alcohol fermenting liquid by utilizing pervaporation-rectification coupling. The method comprises the following steps: coupling acetone, butanol and alcohol for fermentation by pervaporation alcohol-permeating films, and utilizing pervaporation alcohol-permeating films to increase the concentrations of the acetone, the butanol and the alcohol in the fermentation liquid so as to realize separation of acetone / butanol / alcohol water solution and form a high-concentration organic phase and a low-concentration water phase. The organic phase is treated by directly utilizing multi-stage rectifying operation to obtain an acetone product, a butanol product and an alcohol product with the concentrations being more than 99wt%. The water phase is treated by carrying out separation through a secondary pervaporation alcohol-permeating film and a primary pervaporation alcohol-permeating film and carrying out multi-stage rectifying operation so as to obtain the acetone product, the butanol product and the alcohol product with the concentrations being more than 99wt% finally. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the inhibiting action of the butanol in the fermentation process can be reduced, and the productivity can be improved; and the high-concentration organic phase is obtained by utilizing phase separation of a permeating liquid and carrying out primary pervaporation; and simultaneously, the azeotrope formed by butanol and water is avoided, the energy consumption for production and separation is saved, and the production cost in the fermentation process of the acetone and the butanol is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing anhydrous acetone, butanol and ethanol by using biomass as a raw material through fermentation, pervaporation and rectification; in particular, it relates to a method for separating acetone butanol and ethanol fermentation liquid by using pervaporation-rectification coupling method. Background technique [0002] As an important chemical raw material, butanol is widely used in food and chemical industry. And butanol is considered to be a biofuel more suitable for replacing petroleum than ethanol because of its high energy density, miscibility with other fuels, high octane number, low volatility, and suitability for internal combustion engines. [0003] At present, the process of producing bio-butanol from biomass such as agricultural products or cellulose mostly adopts batch fermentation process. This is because in the process of bio-butanol fermentation, the fat-soluble product butanol has a serious pro...
