Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for removing, isolating and purifying dicarboxylic acid from fermentation broths, which includes the following steps: 1) removal of the biomass and any solids present from the fermentation broth in two successive stages, 2) removal of the dicarboxylic acid solution from the biomass-free fermentation broth by simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography, 3) fine purification of the dicarboxylic acid solution, 4) multistage evaporative concentration and crystallization, and 5) separation and drying of the crystals.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for separating, recovering, and purifying dicarboxylic acids from a fermentation broth containing biomass, comprising the following steps: a) separating biomass from a dicarboxylic acid moiety-containing fermentation broth in at least two steps, by a)1) continuously separating coarse biomass components from the fermentation broth to produce a liquid dicarboxylic acid moiety-containing separation stream having a biomass concentration of 1 g/l…
