Recovering L-malic acid from a beverage industry waste water: Experimental study of the conversion stage using bipolar membrane electrodialysis

Résumé

Recovery of L-malic acid from a by-product of alcoholic fermentation process containing mainly sugars, alcohols, minerals, malate and other organic salts was investigated in order to ensure a cost-effective valorisation. Environmental-friendly process could consist in a two-stage electrodialysis process associating concentration electrodialysis (CED) and bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED). The feasibility of the CED stage has been assessed in a previous study [1]. BMED with two-compartment cell (BP/C) was investigated on a model potassium malate solution over the range 0.4-1.2 equiv. L-1 giving current efficiency, L-malic acid recovery and specific energy consumption of 87-97%, 93-97% and 1.15-1.27 kWh kg(-1) L-malic acid, respectively. These performances were confirmed by runs on real concentrate obtained from the previous CED stage. However, specific energy consumption was significantly increased (50%) by the presence of anionic impurities, stressing the importance of a very efficient preliminary purification step. At last, the two-stage electrodialysis process allowed malate purity to be raised from 9% in the initial effluent to more than 70%. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
