Description

A kind of preparation method of citric acid
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of citric acid.
Background technology
Citric acid is a kind of organic acid that is widely used in industries such as beverage, food and medicine, and the preparation of citric acid generally comprises: raw material is carried out pre-treatment and fermentation obtains fermentation clear liquid, and further purifying citric acid from fermentation clear liquid, and carry out aftertreatment.The method of purifying citric acid from fermentation clear liquid of prior art comprises calcium salt method, hydrogen calcium method and chromatography, because chromatography is carried out pre-treatment to material step more complicated, and the off-set facility investment is higher, and calcium salt method that general common employing is more traditional or hydrogen calcium method are purified to the citric acid that fermentation obtains.
For example, CN101117315A discloses a kind of production method of citric acid, and this method comprises the steps:
1) earlier adding lime carbonate and/or calcium hydroxide in the citric acid sterilization filament clear liquid are reacted, reaction end pH value is 3-9, separates waste water and obtains citrate of lime;
2) with citrate of lime and the reaction of citric acid sterilization filament clear liquid, regulating the pH value is 1.5-6, generates hydrogen citrate calcium and/or dihydrogen citrate calcium;
3) carry out solid-liquid separation and wash solid phase then, liquid phase is returned in the step 1), and solid phase is carried out acidolysis reaction, generates citric acid and calcium salt;
4) carry out solid-liquid separation and handle, the washing solid phase, liquid phase obtains the citric acid product through aftertreatment again.
But, adopt the yield of the citric acid that existing hydrogen calcium method prepares lower.
Goal of the invention
