Method for saccharification and separation of plant fibre material

Method for saccharification and separation of plant fibre material

Cellulose contained in plant fibre material is hydrolysed using a complex pseudo-molten acid catalyst to obtain saccharide, mainly glucose. A mixture containing an aqueous saccharide solution obtained at the hydrolysis step, a solution of a complex acid catalyst in an organic solvent and residues is divided into a solid portion which contains residues, and a liquid portion which contains an aqueous saccharide solution and a solution of complex acid in an organic solvent. The liquid portion is then dehydrated with a dehydrating agent which is capable of absorbing water via chemical absorption for precipitation of saccharide in the aqueous saccharide solution and separation of the solid portion containing saccharide from the liquid portion containing the complex acid catalyst and organic solvent. The dehydrating agent is an additive of a dehydrating substance, e.g., silica gel.

Invert syrup preparation method envisages dissolution of sugar sand in water (while stirring) at a ratio of 1:0.24-0.29. A citric acid solution is introduced in an amount of 0.35% of sugar sand and stirring is performed during 15-20 minutes at a temperature of 70-90°C to produce a solution with dry substances content equal to 78-80%. One proceeds with subsequent sucrose inversion inside an ultrasonic installation (with the working tool oscillation frequency and amplitude being 18-24 KHz and 1-3 mcm accordingly) by way of recirculated flow of the solution (during 55-60 minutes at a temperature of 95-100°C) through the gap formed between the inner wall of the ultrasonic installation and its working tool till reducing substances content is 78-80%. Then one proceeds with two-stage cooling, first - to 55-60°C during 25-30 minutes, then - to a temperature of 15-45°C.
