Abstract
The work aims to develop an ion exchange-based purification process to improve product recovery and purity, so as to address the problems of low recovery and insufficient purity in the separation and purification of L-malic acid from fermentation broth. D380 ion exchange resin was selected through static adsorption and elution experiments, and the adsorption mechanism was analyzed with kinetic models and the Yoon-Nelson model. Key parameters including sample concentration, flow rate, column height-to-diameter ratio, eluent concentration, and flow rate were optimized by dynamic column chromatography. The optimal adsorption conditions were: sample concentration 40 g/L, sample volume 60 mL, height-to-diameter ratio 1∶5, and flow rate 2 BV/h. The optimal elution conditions were 0.4 mol/L ammonia water at a flow rate of 1 BV/h. After 6.3-fold scale-up, the separation resolution between L-malic acid, fumaric acid, and succinic acid was significantly improved, achieving a yield of 93.24%. Combined with subsequent desalination and crystallization steps, the final product exhibited a mass purity of 97.45% and chromatographic purity greater than 99.70%, with an overall process yield of 79.40%. The ion exchange purification process established in this study enables efficient separation of L-malic acid and holds promising potential for industrial application.
