Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system for extracting long chain dicarboxylic acid, the system comprising: a primary membrane filtration unit, a first crystallization unit, a first separation unit, a first dissolution tank, a secondary membrane filtration unit, a second separation unit, a second crystallization unit and a third separation unit. By the system for extracting long chain dicarboxylic acid of an embodiment of the present invention, the resulted long chain dicarboxylic acid product has a high purity, very low and even no residual alkane residue, and organic solvent-free.
Claims20
A system for extracting long chain dicarboxylic acid, comprising
- a primary membrane filtration unit, for a first membrane filtration of a long chain dicarboxylic acid fermentation broth to give a first filtrate;
- a first crystallization unit, for an crystallization by acidification or cooling for crystallization of a first filtrate obtained by the first membrane filtration to give a first solid-liquid mixture;
- a first separation unit, for a solid-liquid separation of the first solid-liquid mixture to give a first solid;
- a dissolution tank, for making the solid separated in the first separation unit into a solution;
- a crystallization by acidification unit, for crystallization by acidification of the solution formed by the dissolution tank to give a second solid-liquid mixture;
- a second separation unit, for a solid-liquid separation of the second solid-liquid mixture to give a second solid;
- a second crystallization unit, for mixing the solid separated in the second separation unit with water to form a mixture and subjecting the mixture to thermostatic treatment and cooling for crystallization to give a third solid-liquid mixture;
- and
- a third separation unit, for a solid-liquid separation of the third solid-liquid mixture.
