Abstract: | More than 25 sorbents were tested for uptake of succinic acid from aqueous solutions. The best resins were then tested for
successive loading and regeneration using hotwater. The key desired properties for an ideal sorbent are high capacity, complete
stable regenerability, and specificity for the product. The best resins have a stable capacity of about 0.06 g of succinic
acid/g of resin at moderate concentrations (1–5 g/L) of succinic acid. Several sorbents were tested more exhaustively for
uptake of succinic acid and for successive loading and regeneration using hot water. One resin, XUS 40285, has a good stable
isotherm capacity, prefers succinate over glucose, and has good capacities at both acidic and neutral pH. Succinic acid was
removed from simulated media containing salts, succinic acid, acetic acid, and sugar using a packed column of sorbent resin,
XUS 40285. The fermentation byproduct, acetate, was completely separated from succinate. A simple hot water regeneration successfully
concentrated succinate from 10 g/L (inlet) to 40–110 g/L in the effluent. If successful, this would lower separation costs
by reducing the need for chemicals for the initial purification step. Despie promising initial results of good capacity (0.06
g of succinic/g of sorbent), 70% recovery using hot water, and a recovered concentration of >100 g/L, this regeneration was
not stable over 10 cycles in the column. Alternative regeneration schemes using acid and base were examined. Two (XUS 40285
and XFS-40422) showed both good stable capacities for succinic acid over 10 cycles and >95% recovery in a batch operation
using a modified extraction procedure combining acid and hot water washes. These resins showed comparable results with actual
broth. |
