Abstract

Succinic acid is an important material in industries producing biodegradable polymers, food and pharmaceutical products, and green solvents. Furthermore, succinate fermentation is a novel process due to the fixation of $CO_2$ into succinate during fermentation. However, the impurities in fermentation broth make the separation process of succinic acid be difficult. Reactive extraction has been proposed to be an effective primary separation step of succinic acid from dilute fermentation broth. This article presents the principles of reactive extraction along with the characteristics of tertiary amino extractants. A brief overview on the current research on reactive extraction of succinic acid is presented. Finally, for the succinic acid separation, reactive extraction as a primary step is suggested in the whole downstream process for succinic acid from fermentation broth.

이상을 통해 숙신산 분리정제를 위한 반응추출의 원리와 연구개발 및 적용 사례를 살펴보았다. 반응추출은 에너지가 적게 드는 고효율 생물분리공정이라는 장점을 확인 할 수 있었으며 향후 카르복실산 이외에 항생제를 비롯한 다양한 생물분자들의 분리정제에 적용할 수 있는 높은 응용 가능성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 특정 카르복실산의 회수를 목적으로 할 경우 추출제의 pH제한성은 극복되어야 할 문제점으로 작용할 수도 있다. 이와 병행하여 추출된 특정 카르복실산의 효과적인 회수 및 용매 재활용을 위한 재생공정의 개발도 요구된다. 기존에는 온도-스윙-재생법(temperature-swing-regeneration, TSR)이나 희석제-스윙-재생법 (diluent-swing-regeneration, DSR)을 주로 사용하였으나 회수율이 낮은 단점이 있다. 반응추출 공정의 경제성 향상을 위해서는 이를 개량하거나 대체할 수 있는 공정의 개발이 요구된다. 아울러 발효공정의 수율향상과 생성물의 동시분리를 위해 반응추출을 발효공정에 in-situ로 적용하기 위해서는 추출제 및 희석제의 생물적합성 향상을 위한 연구도 필요하다.
