Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods for separating at least one amine chosen from diamines and omega-aminoacids from a feed mixture using a simulated moving bed (SMB) adsorptive technology.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A process for separating at least one amine from a feed mixture comprising:
introducing a feed mixture comprising at least one amine chosen from diamines and ω-aminoacids into a simulated moving bed apparatus comprising a non-ionic resin to separate the at least one amine; and
recovering a composition comprising the at least one amine with a purity higher than that in the feed mixture from the simulated moving bed apparatus.

2. The process according to claim 1 further comprising:
subjecting the feed mixture to at least one solid-liquid separation prior to introducing the feed mixture into the simulated moving bed apparatus.

3. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one solid-liquid separation is chosen from cross-flow filtration, centrifugation, and dead-end filtration.

4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the feed mixture comprises a fermentation product.

5. The process according to claim 4 , wherein the fermentation product is produced by at least one organism chosen from Escherichia coli, Clostridium ljungdahlii, Clostridium autoethanogenurn, Clostridium kluyveri, Corynebacterium glutamicum,Cupriavidus necator, Cupriavidus metallidurans, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas oleavorans, Delftia acidovorans, Bacillus subtillis, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactococcus lactis, Rhodococcus equi, Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Yarrowia lipolytica, Issathenkia orientalis, Debaryomyces hansenii, Arxula adenoinivorans , and Kluyveromyces lactis.

6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the simulated moving bed apparatus comprises only one zone.

7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the simulated moving bed apparatus comprises more than one zone.

8. The process according to claim 7 , further comprising
collecting from a column in a zone a raffinate stream comprising the at least one amine, wherein a ratio of less polar to more polar components in the raffinate stream is increased or decreased relative to the feed mixture,
introducing the raffinate stream into another zone; and
recovering the at least one amine from said another zone.

9. The process according to claim 7 , wherein
collecting from a column in a zone an extract stream comprising the at least one amine, wherein a ratio of less polar to more polar components in the extract stream is increased or decreased relative to the feed mixture,
introducing the extract stream into another zone; and
recovering the at least one amine from said another zone.

10. The process according to claim 8 , wherein the raffinate stream is introduced into a column nonadjacent to the column from which the raffinate is collected.

11. The process according to claim 9 , wherein the extract stream is introduced into a column nonadjacent to the column from which the extract is collected.

12. The process according to claim 7 , wherein part of an extract stream and/or a raffinate stream from one zone is/are recycled back into the same or different zone.

13. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the simulated moving bed apparatus further comprises one or more eluents comprising at least one solvent chosen from water and alcohol.

14. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the feed mixture comprises at least one diamine chosen from pentamethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, heptamethylenediamine, and 1,12-diaminododecane.

15. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the feed mixture comprises at least one ω-aminoacid chosen from 5-aminopentaoic acid, 6-aminocaporic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 11-aminounidecanoic acid, and 12-aminolauric acid.

16. The process according to claim 1 further comprising:
subjecting the composition recovered from the simulated moving bed apparatus to at least one separation step.

17. The process according to claim 16 , wherein the at least one separation step is chosen from evaporation, distillation, vacuum distillation, filtration, membrane separation, crystallization, evaporative crystallization, and cooling crystallization.

18. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the simulated moving bed apparatus comprises at least 4 columns.

19. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising:
introducing the feed mixture into at least one guard bed prior to introducing the feed mixture into the simulated moving bed apparatus.

20. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising:
feeding into at least one desorbent recovery process at least one raffinate stream and/or at least one extract stream.

21. The process according to claim 20 , wherein the at least one desorbent recovery process is chosen from evaporation, distillation, crystallization, vacuum crystallization, and cooling crystallization.

22. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising:
feeding into at least one water recovery process at least one raffinate stream.

23. The process according to claim 22 , wherein the at least one water recovery process is chosen from evaporation, distillation, vacuum distillation, filtration, membrane separation, crystallization, evaporative crystallization, and cooling crystallization.
