Liquid extraction with immobilized liquids for product recovery from fermentation broths
2022, Pérez, Alan, Gössi, Angelo, Riedl, Wolfgang, Schuur, Boelo, Fontalvo, Javier, Thatoi, Hrudayanath, Mohapatra, Sonali, Das, Swagat Kumar
Nowadays, many fermentation chemicals are produced at an industrial scale. Numerous technological improvements have been developed and implemented to achieve high quality and quantity of fermentation products. However, several drawbacks in fermentation processes still limit their application at an industrial level. In situ product removal (ISPR) is a potential alternative to overcome the conventional drawbacks of the fermentative processes, increasing the fermentation's productivity and reducing the separation steps for recovery and purification. Currently, liquid extraction has emerged as a promising separation technology for ISPR, with immobilized liquids such as membrane-assisted extraction and microchannel liquid membrane, due to the high mass transfer rates, scalability, easy integration, and efficiency. This chapter will discuss these technologies regarding their integration into fermentative processes.
In-situ recovery of carboxylic acids from fermentation broths through membrane supported reactive extraction using membrane modules with improved stability

Membrane supported reactive extraction (MSE) coupled to back-extraction (MSBE) using a new type of Teflon (PTFE) capillary membrane contactor was studied for the in-situ removal of carboxylic acids from aqueous streams, e.g. fermentation broths. The use of microporous membranes as extraction interface helps avoiding emulsification problems, allows the use of extreme phase ratios, and protects microorganisms, as they are less affected by solvent toxicity during in-situ extractions. The use of PTFE capillary membranes is suitable for long-term use due its high chemical and thermal stability. A simple toxicity screening identified n-decanol with tri n-octyl amine (TOA) as a suitable solvent. MSE experiments were performed using membrane contactors (0.005 m2 to 0.15 m2), working with solvent to feed phase ratios down to 1:40 (mass based). The in-situ removal of lactic acid out of fermentation broths using lactobacillus plantarum led to a glucose conversion rate of 80 mol%. Additionally, a concentration factor up to 7.8 could be shown during back-extraction.

Electrochemical membrane-assisted pH-swing extraction and back-extraction of lactic acid
2022, Gausmann, Marcel, Bertram, Franziska, Schuur, Boelo, Jupke, Andreas, Gössi, Angelo, Riedl, Wolfgang
Reactive extraction of carboxylic acids such as lactic acid with tertiary amines is a state-of-the-art process but suffers strongly from reduced extraction efficiency in buffered environments like fermentation broths. In order to increase the efficiency of in-situ product removal, we here propose the combination of a membrane-assisted reactive extraction with an electrochemical pH shift. Prior to extraction in the membrane module, the fermentation broth containing the lactic acid at neutral pH is treated by anodic electrolysis to reduce the pH and thereby improve the extraction yield. Additionally, the cathodic reaction is used to increase the pH of the aqueous stream used for back-extraction of the loaded organic phase. Model solutions were used to develop a mathematical model, capable of calculating the required membrane area for in-situ extractions, considering the effect of the aqueous pH on the extraction performance. Additionally, using electrochemical pH shift, we were able to concentrate lactic acid from 1 wt% in the dilute broth to 7 wt% in the back extract.
Industrial Upscaling of DOPO-Based Phosphonamidates and Phosphonates Derivatives Using Cl2 Gas as a Chlorinating Agent
2018-10, Salmeia, Khalifah A., Baumgartner, Georg, Jovic, Milijana, Gössi, Angelo, Riedl, Wolfgang, Zich, Thomas, Gaan, Sabyasachi
Herein, we report the industrial synthesis procedure of phosphonamidate and phosphonate derivatives via an efficient and simple chlorination of 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthren-10-oxide (DOPO) with Cl2 gas. The key step in the synthesis is the conversion of the P–H bond to P–Cl of DOPO by flowing Cl2 gas into a solution of DOPO in dichloromethane, affording the key intermediate 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-chloride (DOPO-Cl) compound which is industrially not available. DOPO-Cl was isolated, characterized, and used for this synthesis of DOPO-based phosphonamidates and phosphonates in relatively high yield by reaction with the corresponding amines and alcohols, respectively. The experimental results show that the chlorination reaction occurs in equimolar ratios of Cl2 gas to DOPO compound. Subsequently, the procedure developed in laboratory scale was industrially applied for synthesis of the 6,6′-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphinine-6-oxide) (EDA-DOPO) compound and 6-((1-oxido-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-4-yl)methoxy)dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphinine-6-oxide (DOPO-PEPA). All synthetic compounds thus obtainedwere characterized and found to be identical to the authentic laboratory scale products.

Mass transfer analysis and kinetic modeling for process design of countercurrent membrane supported reactive extraction of carboxylic acids
2021, Schuur, Boelo, Gössi, Angelo, Riedl, Wolfgang
Countercurrent membrane supported reactive extraction (MSRE) was studied for removal of carboxylic acids from aqueous streams with a PTFE capillary membrane. Analysis of the mass transfer rates was per- formed to support modeling of the process. Total mass transfer coefficients ranging from 2.0 10-7 to 4.0 10-7 m/s were obtained when extracting lactic acid with 20 wt% tri-N-octyl amine in 1-decanol with membrane thicknesses of 260 mm and 80 mm. The limiting mass transfer resistance in all experiments was in the membrane phase. The developed model based on mass transfer and reaction in parallel allows to predict countercurrent extraction. Experimental validation with 5, 7 and 12 m long membrane modules showed excellent accordance for two acids, validating the model simulations. Simulated membrane con- tactor lengths required for single, two and three countercurrent stages varied between 10 and 39 m/stage for lactic, mandelic, succinic, itaconic and citric acid, depending on acid, membrane, and diluent.

Enantioseparation with liquid membranes
2017, Gössi, Angelo, Riedl, Wolfgang, Schuur, Boelo
Chiral resolution of racemic products is a challenging and important task in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, flavor, polymer and fragrances industries. One of the options for these challenging separations is to use liquid membranes. Although liquid membranes have been known for almost four decades and have been used for optical resolutions, no comprehensive review has been published about the use of this technology for enantioseparations. In this review, the various liquid membrane-related technologies are described and compared, including bulk liquid membranes, emulsion liquid membranes, micelle-extraction and micellar enhanced ultrafiltration, as well as supported liquid membranes. Next to technological advances, an overview of recent developments in chiral recognition chemistry in liquid–liquid equilibria is presented. The following extractant classes have recently been reported in conjunction with chiral separation: cyclodextrines, BINOL's, calixarenes, crown ethers, BINAP's, tartaric acids and ionic liquids. The use of two supported (non-liquid) membranes with an inner loop of extract phase appears to be the most stable liquid membrane configuration, allowing for a large degree of freedom in operational conditions such as solvent to feed ratio. The library of solvents still needs broadening to make the technology more versatile and based on the variety of successes with catalytically active organometallic complexes, development of new chiral selector systems based on asymmetric catalysis literature is suggested for future selector screening studies. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry
