Abstract
Direct reutilization of condensate can inhibit ethanol fermentation, 2-phenylethyl alcohol and furfural existed in the condensate are considered to be inhibitors. To achieve the reutilization of the condensate, the ozonation combined with ion-exchange method was used. The results showed that the elimination rates of 2-phenylethyl alcohol and furfural reached 98.0% and 100.0%, respectively after ozonation, while the concentrations of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid and valeric acid increased by 14.9%, 7.7%, 35.3% and 25.5%, respectively. The fermentation results showed that the inhibition of the condensate after ozonation was alleviated but was not completely eliminated. When the effluent volume treated by the ion-exchange method reached 80 BV, the concentrations of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid and valeric acid decreased by 25.8%, 8.6%, 6.5% and 34.4%, respectively. The fermentation results showed that the inhibition of the condensate was completely eliminated after ozonation combined with ion-exchange treatment.
