Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for clarification of substantially aqueous process streams, and more particularly to separation of biosolids, especially proteins, from food processing operations, such as animal processing, especially poultry processing.
- biosolids such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils
- aqueous streams are collected in aqueous streams during food processing operations, such as waste and wash waters from the slaughter of animals for food products and other food processing operations such as extraction of proteins during soybean processing, and the like.
- the aqueous stream must be clarified, i.e., have suspended solids separated and removed to recover valuable product or before being discharged from the processing plant to a municipal or public water system.
- the biosolids When separated and dried, the biosolids have value, for example, as animal feed, crop fertilizers, in pharmaceuticals and in personal care products.
- recovered protein from soybeans may be used in infant formula.
- biosolids are comprised of particles having surface charges.
- the particles typically have anionic surface charges at alkaline and neutral pH. The surface charge generates a repulsive force between particles to keep them apart.
- gravitational forces are insufficient to cause them to settle out of the aqueous suspension.
- Simple separation methods such as filtration, are ineffective to separate these protein solids due to blinding of filters or ability of the solids to pass through them. Thus separation and hence, recovery of the protein may be low and/or a waste stream may not be environmentally acceptable for discharge from the processing plant.
- the present invention provides a process, for example for use in clarification of aqueous streams comprising biosolids, the process comprising contacting an aqueous stream comprising biosolids with an effective amount of: (1) an anionic inorganic colloid; and
- organic polymer wherein the organic polymer is selected from the group consisting of cationic polymers and amphoteric polymers and mixtures thereof, and has a number average molecular weight of greater than 1,000,000; whereby flocculated biosolids are produced.
- the aqueous stream can be contacted with an acid, if desired, to reduce pH of the stream to less than pH 7.
- the aqueous stream is contacted simultaneously with the anionic inorganic colloid and an acid to reduce the pH. Subsequent contact of the organic polymer with the stream causes flocculation of the biosolids, such that the flocculated biosolids can be separated from the stream.
- Biosolids are typically suspended in aqueous streams due to surface charge effects. Surface charge will depend on pH.
- the present invention further provides a process which comprises contacting an aqueous stream comprising biosolids, wherein the biosolids possess surface negative charge sites, with an effective amount of:
- a second organic polymer wherein the second organic polymer is selected from the group consisting of cationic and amphoteric polymers, and mixtures thereof; to produce flocculated biosolids.
- the anionic inorganic colloid is a silica-based colloid
- the second organic polymer can be selected from the group consisting of cationic, anionic, and amphoteric polymers, and mixtures thereof.
- aqueous streams comprising biosolids such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and oils which must be treated to remove the potentially valuable biosolids products and/or before the stream can be discharged from the plant.
- biosolids such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and oils
- These aqueous streams are often derived from food processing plants and have solids contents of from about 0.01% to 5% on a weight basis.
- This invention provides a process for clarification of such streams, whereby the solids are flocculated, and optional separation therefrom of the biosolids, which can be subsequently used for example, in animal feeds.
- the aqueous stream to be treated can be from any processing plant that produces an aqueous stream comprising biosolids, such as food processing plants.
- animal slaughterhouses and animal processing plants and other food processing plants may produce aqueous streams comprising protein, fats and oil.
- Animal slaughterhouses and processing plants include those for cattle, hogs, poultry and seafood.
- Other food processing plants include plants for vegetable, grain and dairy food processing, for example, plants for processing soybeans, rice, barley, cheese, and whey; plants for wet-milling of starches and grains; as well as breweries, distilleries and wineries.
- Biosolids present in aqueous streams from these processes may include sugars, starches and other carbohydrates in addition to protein, fats, and oils.
- proteins are extracted into an aqueous stream from which they are subsequently recovered.
- the present invention is especially useful for treating streams from animal processing, and more particularly, from poultry processing.
- this invention is useful in conventional food processing operations, which produce aqueous suspensions of biosolids
