Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING CONCENTRATED AQUEOUS SUGAR SOLUTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/077698
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a concentrated aqueous sugar solution using cellulose-containing biomass as a raw material, the method comprising (1) a step for hydrolyzing cellulose-containing biomass to produce an aqueous sugar solution, (2) a step for filtering the aqueous sugar solution obtained in (1) through a microfiltration membrane and/or an ultrafiltration membrane and recovering the aqueous sugar solution from the permeated side, and (3) a step for filtering the aqueous sugar solution obtained in (2) through a nanofiltration membrane and/or a reverse osmosis membrane and collecting the permeated water from the permeated side and an aqueous concentrated sugar solution from the non-permeated side, wherein at least a part of the permeated water of the nanofiltration membrane and/or the reverse osmosis membrane is used as wash water in steps (1) and/or (2), thereby conserving water.
