Their recycling is currently done either by regaining the oil via organic solvent extraction or by using the spent bleaching earth (SBE) as additive for animal feed, etc. As a new method, the reutilization of the by-product SBE for the microbiologic formation of acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) is presented as proof-of-concept. The SBE was taken from a palm oil cleaning process. The recycling concept is based on the application of lipolytic clostridia strains. Due to considerably long fermentation times, co-fermentation with Candida rugosa and enzymatic hydrolyses of the bound oil with a subsequent clostridia fermentation are shown as alternative routes. Anaerobic fermentations under comparison of different clostridia strains were performed with glycerol media, enzymatically hydrolyzed palm oil and SBE. Solutes, side product compositions and productivities were quantified via HPLC. A successful production of ABE solutes from SBE has been done with a yield of 0.15 g butanol per gram of bound glycerol. Thus, the biotechnological recycling of the waste stream is possible in principle. Inhibition of the substrate suspension has been observed. A chromatographic ion-exchange of substrates increased the biomass concentration.}, language = {en} } @article{UlberPothMonzonetal.2010, author = {Ulber, Roland and Poth, Sebastian and Monzon, Magaly and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Prozessintegration von Hydrolyse und Fermentation von Cellulose- Faserstoff}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {82}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {1-2}, issn = {1522-2640}, doi = {10.1002/cite.200900103}, pages = {135 -- 139}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Ein viel versprechender erneuerbarer Rohstoff f{\"u}r die Produktion von Chemikalien und Treibstoffen ist Lignocellulose aus pflanzlicher Biomasse.

Hefen und Enzyme haben mit 30 °C bzw. 50 °C zwar unterschiedliche Temperaturoptima, es konnte aber gezeigt werden, dass auch bei den niedrigeren Temperaturen eine Umsetzung der Cellulose zu Glucose erfolgt, wenn auch langsamer als bei optimalen Bedingungen.

The aim of this study is to examine the adsorption mechanism, using crude glycerol from plant oil esterification as a model system. Changes in the intercalation structure in relation to the amount of fatty acids adsorbed are monitored by X-ray diffraction and infra-red spectroscopy. Additionally, calcination of LDH is investigated in order to increase the binding capacity for fatty acids. Our data propose that, at ambient temperature, fatty acids can be bound to the hydrotalcite by adsorption or in addition by intercalation, depending on fatty acid concentration. The adsorption of fatty acids from crude glycerol shows a BET-like behavior. Above a fatty acid concentration of 3.5 g L-1, intercalation of fatty acids can be shown by the appearance of an increased interlayer spacing. This observation suggests a two phase adsorption process. Calcination of LDHs allows increasing the binding capacity for fatty acids by more than six times, mainly by reduction of structural CO32-.}, language = {en} } @article{WiesenTippkoetterMuffleretal.2014, author = {Wiesen, Sebastian and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and Muffler, Kai and Suck, Kirstin and Sohling, Ulrich and Ruf, Nils and Ulber, Roland}, title = {Adsorptive Vorbehandlung von Rohglycerin f{\"u}r die 1,3-Propandiol Fermentation mit Clostridium diolis}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {86}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {1-2}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, doi = {10.1002/cite.201300080}, pages = {129 -- 135}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Bei der Gewinnung von Fetts{\"a}uren aus Pflanzen{\"o}len, z. B. zur Herstellung von Biopolymeren, oder bei der Biodiesel- und Seifenproduktion, f{\"a}llt Glycerin als Nebenprodukt an.
