Abstract

Hemicellulosic hydrolysates contain not only sugars but also several kinds of ethanol fermentation inhibitory substances such as carboxylic acids, furans and phenolic compounds. In this work, emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) was chosen as a separation technology to remove the inhibitors. A basic simulated hemicellulosic hydrolysate was composed of xylose as sugar, dilute sulfuric acid solution as solvent, and acetic acid as carboxylic acid, and furfural as furan derivative or p-hydroxybenzoic acid(HBA) as phenolic compound was added to the hydrolysate when necessary. Acetic acid and HBA as weak acid could be selectively removed from the hydrolysates in all the ELM systems considered here, but furfural as aldehyde was quite hard to remove. Also, when HBA was added to the basic simulated hemicellulosic hydrolysate, both of acetic acid and HBA in the feed phase could be selectively removed up to 99% in an ELM system with tributyl phosphate as extractant.

헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액은 당은 물론 카르복시산, 푸란유도체 및 페놀화합물과 같은 여러 종류의 에탄올 발효 저해물질을 포함한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 저해물질들을 제거할 수 있는 분리 기술로서 에멀젼형 액막법이 적용되었다. 기본 모사 헤미셀룰로오스 가수분해액은 당인 자일로스, 용매인 묽은 황산 수용액과 카르복시산인 초산으로 구성되었으며, 필요에 따라 푸란유도체인 푸르푸랄 또는 페놀화합물인 p-hydroxybenzoic acid(HBA)가 그 가수분해액에 추가되었다. 본 연구에서 고려된 모든 에멀젼형 액막계에서 약산인 초산과 HBA는 선택적으로 제거가 가능하였지만, 알데히드인 푸르푸랄은 상당히 제거하기가 어려웠다. 또한, 기본 모사 가수분해액에 HBA가 추가된 에멀젼형 액막계에서 추출제로 tributyl phosphate를 사용하여 원료상에 있는 초산과 HBA를 99%까지 동시에 선택적으로 제거할 수 있었다.
