기존의 일반적인 에탄올 제조법으로는 1) ethylene의 가수분해, 2)전분이나 당분의 발효, 3)acetylene으로부터 얻은 acetaldehyde의 환원반응이 있다. 기존의 화석연로에 의존하지 않고 에탄올을 생성하는 방법은 발효에 의한 방법이다. 발효에 의해 생성되는 에탄올의 농도는 batch식 발효에서 13-14%, 고정화 발효방법에서 5-10%정도이다. 이를 고순도의 에탄올로 농축하기 위한 방법으로는 증류법, 투과증발법, 역삼투법등이 있으며 증류를 이용하여 농축하는 경우에는 상당히 큰 열에너지를 필요로 한다.

The alcohol fermentation using glucose and lactose was carried out to study the effect of fermentation temperature on the ethanol tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae STV89 and Kluyveromyces fragilis CBS397. The maximum specific growth rate and ethanol production rate were increased up to 35$^{\circ}C$ with the fermentation temperature, although maximum ethanol and cell concentration were decreased by increasing the fermentation temperature. The cell viability was also improved by lowering the fermentation temperature. Under the experimental conditions, the best ethanol tolerance of yeast strains was obtain at $25^{\circ}C$. The ethanol tolerance of S. cerevisiae is better than that of K. fragilis at the same fermentation condition. With respect to the carbon source, glucose is found to be more favorable for ethanol tolerance of K. fragilis than lactos.

In order to develop economic processes for ethanol production from starch, a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) process using Zymomonas mobilis and amyloglucosidase (AMG) was studied in semibatch modes using cell recycle. The cell recycle was carried out by adopting two different methods; microfiltration and settling. The cell recycle using microfiltration revealed higher productivity(5.4 g/l/h) than that using a settler(4.3 g/l/h). Taking the large-scale ethanol fermentation into account, the semibatch process using microfiltration system appeared most promising among others with respect to ethanol productivity, feasibility of scale-up and simplification of operation.

본 연구에서는 바이오에탄올 가격 경쟁력 확보를 위하여 옥수수 및 사탕수수와 같은 식량자원이 아닌 맥주 제조 후 발생되는 폐기물로부터 바이오에탄올을 제조함으로써 기존의 바이오에탄올의 원료로 사용되는 작물의 수급의 불안정 및 곡물가격의 상승에 의한 원료의 가격상승 등에 따른 높은 생산단가에 대한 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 기대하며, 맥주발효 폐효모액을 이용한 바이오에탄올 제조 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 1일 30톤의 바이오에탄올 제조 공정 해석을 수행하였다.

This study is to investigate the ethanol tolerance of yeast strains related to fatty acid composition and intracellular ethanol concentration for various fermentation temperatures. The maximum accumulation of ethanol in the cells was decreased by lowering the fermentation temperature, while unsaturated fatty acid content was increased by decreasing the fermentation temperature. Thus, we found that the increase of ethanol accumulation in cells resulted in the decrease of unsaturated fatty acid content. Therefore, it was suggested that the composition of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell membrane be strongly related to the diffusion of ethanol from cell to medium.

It was investigated that the influent sugar concentration and the dilution rate have an influence on the ethanol fermentation characteristics at steady state in a chemostat culture of K. fragilis using Jerusalem Artichoke juice as substrate. And also the optimum condition of high ethanol productivity and low residual sugar output in the ethanol production by K. fragilis, was clarified to be given at a dilution rate of 0.22/hr and at an influent sugar concentration of 85g/l.

The fermentation characteristics of ethanol production by the use of immobilized Zymomonas mobilis KCTC 1534 cells were investigated in terms of formation factors such as substrate and product concentration. In batch fermentation, the maximum values of specific ethanol productivity, specific substrate uptake rate, ethanol yield, and glucose conversion rate were $29.14g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$, $60.24g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$, 0.48g/g, and 98.4%, respectively, with 17% glucose medium, and its ethanol productivity was $2.91g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$ in the case of 25 hour fermentation time. Repeated batch fermentation was possible for 30 days with 2.24-$2.94g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$ ethanol productivity. In semicontinuous fermentation, the maximum ethanol productivity was shown to be $15.7g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$ at $0.36h^{-1}$ effective dilution rate with 17% glucose concentration. In this case, ethanol yield coefficient and glucose conversion rate were 0.39 g/g, 64.7%, respectively.

A cone-type tower fermentor packed with Sacchromyces uvarum was employed to examine the continuous ethanol fermentation process. The maximum yeast concentration in the cone-type tower fermentor was 37.5-39.5g/$\ell$, the maximum ethanol productivity at the dilution rate of $hr^{-1}$ was 16.3g/$\ell$ . hr and the average ethanol yield was 0.48g EtOH/g glucose, which was 94% of the maximum theoretical yield. It was concluded that a cone-type tower fermentor might offer better perspectives for continuous ethanol fermentation.

현재 국내에서 생산되는 에탄올은 원료나 연료용으로 사용되는 합성알콜과 주류의 원료로 사용되는 발효알콜이 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 휘발유 첨가제, 연료용 알콜의 수요가 늘어날 경우 발효공정을 이용한 에탄올 연료의 사용이 늘어날 전망이며 특히 기존의 휘발유 첨가제 중 옥탄가 향상을 위한 MTBE 대신 에탄올, ETBE의 사용이 환경적인 측면이나 경제적으로 유리하다. 연로나 첨가제로서 에탄올을 사용하기 위해서는 기존의 95%의 순도를 갖는 일반에탄ㅇ올 대신에 99.5wt%이상의 고순도 에탄올을 생산하여야 하며 에탄올 농축공정 중의 하나인 Pervaporation은 국내에서 1-2년 전부터 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 현재 국내에서 진행되고 있는 Pervaporation Test는 대부분 합성알콜을 이용하여 수행되었다. 이 실험에서는 주정공장에서 제조한 주정과 조주정을 이용, 현장 Pilot Test를 통해 PV System의 성능 검증, 에탄올 내 Trace 물질파악 및 필요 막면적을 이용하여 합성알콜과의 Performance비교를 수행하였다.
