Abstract:
A device used to remove impurities from raw material is disclosed. The device comprises a conveying unit and an impurity removing unit. The conveying unit is used to convey raw material along a conveying line. The impurity removing unit is in a location where the raw material in the conveying line must pass and is used to remove the band-like light impurities from the raw material conveyed along the conveying line. As the device has an impurity removing unit installed in a location where the raw material in the conveying line must pass, the impurity removing unit may retain the impurities of the raw material containing soft and light impurities when the raw material is being conveyed along the conveying line, thereby playing a role of removing impurities. An ethanol preparation system and method are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for preparing citric acid comprising the following steps: (1) contacting and reacting the fermentation liquid of citric acid with calcium carbonate and/or calcium hydroxide under the condition that the citric acid in the fermentation liquid can be converted into calcium hydrogen citrate, and subjecting the obtained slurry to a solid-liquid separation to obtain solid calcium hydrogen citrate and a first liquid phase; (2) subjecting the solid calcium hydrogen citrate obtained in step (1) to acidolysis to obtain citric acid; (3) contacting and reacting the first liquid phase obtained in step (1) with calcium carbonate and/or calcium hydroxide under the condition that the calcium hydrogen citrate dissolved in the first liquid phase can be converted into calcium citrate, subjecting the obtained slurry to a solid-liquid separation to obtain solid calcium citrate, and recycling the solid calcium citrate to step (1).
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a skin-removing method for root and tuber crops by using a skin-removing device which comprises a pedestal; a rotary drum rotatably fitted on the pedestal and having an inlet and a outlet; a helical screw feeder provided in the rotary drum and fixedly connected with the inner wall of the rotary drum; and a driving unit for driving the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder to rotate together, wherein the method includes feeding raw material of root and tuber crops into the rotary drum via the inlet, allowing the driving unit to drive the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder to rotate together. In the method according to the present invention, raw material of root and tuber crops is fed into the rotary drum via the inlet, and the driving unit drives the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder to rotate together. Under push action of the helical screw feeder, the raw material is continuously moved forward, and at the same time the raw material rotates along with the rotary drum and the helical screw feeder. During rotation, friction is generated not only among the raw material, but also between the raw material and the rotary drum wall and the helical screw feeder, so as to remove the skin of the raw material without damaging the flesh of root and tuber crops, such that the loss of raw material is low.
