Abstract

1,3-Propandiol is a promising chemical which can be produced from fermentation of glycerol because the application of 1,3-propanediol is mainly in the production of bio-polytrimethylene terephthalate (bio-PTT). However, the cost of downstream processes in the biological production of 1,3-propanediol can make a high portion in the total production cost due to the large amount of water and the by-produced carboxylic acids such as succinic, lactic and acetic acids in 1,3-propanediol fermentation broth. In this study, aqueous two-phases systems composed of hydrophilic alcohols and phosphate salts were applied to the recovery of 1,3-propanediol from its artificial aqueous solution. Formation of aqueous biphases in hydrophilic alcohols and phosphate salts was due to the salting-out effect of salts in bottom phase, thereby 1,3-propanediol in bottom phase was moved into top phase. Extraction efficiency for 1,3-propanediol was proportional to the polarity of hydrophilic alcohols and the basicity of salts and the maximum value of extraction efficiency was more than 98%. In the aqueous two-phases systems after extraction, there was no carboxylic acid in top phase. Therefore, it was concluded that the aqueous two-phases systems composed of hydrophilic alcohols and phosphate salts were effective for the selective recovery of 1,3-propanediol without any coextraction of carboxylic acids.

최근 바이오 플라스틱인 Polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT)의 원료물질인 1,3-프로판디올의 생물학적 생산이 주목받고 있다. 발효를 통한 1,3-프로판디올의 생산에 있어 부산물로 생성되는 젖산, 숙신산을 포함한 카르복실산들은 1,3-프로판디올의 경제적인 생산을 어렵게 한다. 본 연구에서는 카르복실산 부산물이 포함된 1,3-프로판디올 수용액으로부터 1,3-프로판디올의 효율적 분리정제를 위해 수용성 알콜과 염으로 구성된 수상이성분계를 이용한 추출을 적용하였다. 알콜과 염으로 구성된 수상이성분계 형성은 하부상에 존재하는 염의 염출효과에 의한 것이며 이로 인해 1,3-프로판디올이 상부상으로 이동된다. 추출효율을 알콜의 사슬길이가 짧을수록, 염의 세기가 높을수록 높아졌으며 최대 98%의 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 발효 시에 부산물로 형성되는 카르복실산은 1,3-프로판디올과 동반추출 되지 않았으며 1,3-프로판디올의 추출효율에도 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 적용된 친수성 알콜과 염으로 구성된 수상이성분계는 카르복실산 부산물로부터 1,3-프로판디올을 선택적으로 분리하는데 효과적임을 알 수 있다.
