Background technology
Alcohol fuel is meant the ethanol power that acts as a fuel is used that ethanol is colourless, transparent, runny liquid, and direct oil fuels such as gasoline replacing, diesel oil are as domestic fuel or automotive fuel.Ethanol acts as a fuel to use and has many advantages: ethanol can be produced with reproducible biomass, does not have the resource exhaustion problem; Ethanol technology comparative maturity, technology is fairly perfect; It is big that ethanol has energy density as liquid fuel, stores easy to use; Alcoholic acid toxicity is lower, and can biological degradation; Ethanol is sulfur-bearing and ash content not, and burning back tail gas pollution is little; The alcoholic acid octane value is more much higher than gasoline, and ethanol is octane promoter, is again ignition dope, does not re-use additives such as tetraethyllead and just can become high grade oil fuel so make fuel with ethanol petrol, can eliminate the pollution of airborne lead.
The subject matter that alcohol fuel popularization at present faces comprises the higher and grain-production raw material anxiety of alcohol production cost, Brazil is raw material production ethanol with the sugarcane, it is the alcohol fuel industry of raw material with the corn that the U.S. has developed, Europe mainly is the raw material production alcohol fuel with the wheat, and it is the ethanol industry of raw material that China has also developed with corn and wheat.
In recent years, owing to being the alcohol fuel fast development of raw material with grain, cause domestic and international provision price to go up significantly, food problem center, Hudson Institute of the U.S. think tank whole world is thought, produces biofuel and can expend too many soil.Only stopping using biological grain is the alcohol fuel gasoline replacing of raw material, and world food and food price just can be stablized.
China clearly emphasizes, development biofuel ethanol must be followed " three must not "-must not occupy cultivated land, and must not consume grain, must not destroy ecotope.Therefore greatly develop biofuel, must make a breakthrough aspect Mierocrystalline cellulose or the non-grain raw material.
In furfural production (fibrous material boiling hydrolysis) process, produce with a large amount of furfuraldehyde waste slags, furfural product per ton is discharged residue more than 10 tons, nearly 30,000,000 tons of China's annual discharging furfuraldehyde waste slag.There is part enterprise that the fuel of furfural dregs as the steam supply boiler is fully utilized at present; also useful furfural dregs prepares the patent report of shaped fuel (CN200710180491.2) and preparation granulated active carbon (CN88101457) aspect; but most of enterprise is subjected to the restriction of technical qualification, realizes not that all the technical scaleization of furfural dregs is utilized again.Measure by analysis, contain Mierocrystalline cellulose more than 42% in the furfural dregs, contain 38% sour insoluble xylogen and a spot of hemicellulose (~1.85%), cellulosic degree of polymerization about 500.The weak acid hydrolysis method is adopted in the production of furfural mostly, when having separated most of hemicellulose, complicated reticulated structure between original Mierocrystalline cellulose of raw material and hemicellulose, the lignin suffers destruction to a certain degree, can save complicated plant fiber material preprocessing process, provide favourable condition for utilizing furfural dregs cellulose conversion ethanol.
It is that biomass are produced the easiest industrialized mode in the liquid fuel technology that fiber transforms ethanol, cellulose ethanol and fibre resources comprehensive development and utilization have good prospect, but the subject matter that its industrialization faces comprises: efficient, the low-cost preconditioning technique of (1) cellulosic material.(2) exploitation of high efficiency cellulose with genetic engineering means breeding high-yield cellulase, lignoenzyme bacterial classification, reduces enzyme process catalytic hydrolysis cost.(3) the comprehensive development and utilization aspect of plant cellulose raw material remains to be explored, particularly the clean separation of hemicellulose, xylogen and efficient the utilization.(4) product and by product have very big restraining effect to enzyme and yeast in the reaction process, how to alleviate or eliminate the restraining effect of product.(5) because the cellulose raw material specific volume is big, hydrolyzed solution sugar concentration is low, and alcohol concn is low in the fermented liquid, and it is the key that improves alcohol concn and cut down the consumption of energy that the product original position is separated.
Because Technical furfural residue resource amount is big, cheap, furfural dregs contains abundant Mierocrystalline cellulose, its cellulosic degree of polymerization is lower and loosely organized, furfural dregs transforms ethanol can save complicated plant fiber material preprocessing process, and the special construction of furfural dregs to determine that it is easy to by enzymic hydrolysis, hydrolysis cost low.Adopt simultaneous saccharification and fermentation to separate coupling process, can reduce even eliminate product inhibition, improve fermentation efficiency and reduce production energy consumption with ethanol infiltration vaporization original position.Report about the research of coupling process at present, the direct employing glucose that has is that raw material ferments and separates with ethanol infiltration vaporization original position, the direct employing full biomass that has is that raw material carries out simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and ethanol infiltration vaporization original position and separates (CN200710130936), but does not consider that xylogen and hemicellulose are to the influence of saccharification, fermentation and the sepn process of infiltration evaporation original position in the biomass.
Because there is lower azeotropic point in ethanol-water solution, so adopt the resulting ethanolic soln of usual way rectifying, its alcohol concn is not more than 95.57%.Prepare dehydrated alcohol, must use other separation methods instead.The production method of dehydrated alcohol is a lot, comprises unslaked lime evaporation, sequence of constant boiling and rectification method, extraction fractional distillation, molecular sieve preparing process, vacuum distillation method, starch absorption method, ion-exchange-resin process, membrane sepn etc.
The production method of present industrial dehydrated alcohol mainly contains methods such as sequence of constant boiling and rectification, extracting rectifying, absorption and membrane sepn.To use entrainer, extraction agent or sorbent material when sequence of constant boiling and rectification, extracting rectifying and absorption method prepare dehydrated alcohol, need the material that add further be separated, increase technological process.Membrane separation process mainly is meant osmotic, evaporating and dewatering, though can separate aqueous ethanolic solution when lower azeotropic point, its equipment input cost height, unit capacity are little.
