Evaluation of esterification and membrane based solvent extraction as methods for the recovery of short chain volatile fatty acids from slaughterhouse blood anaerobic mixed fermentation
Evaluation of esterification and membrane based solvent extraction as methods for the recovery of short chain volatile fatty acids from slaughterhouse blood anaerobic mixed fermentation
Two routes, esterification and membrane based solvent extraction, were tested for their efficiency to extract volatile fatty acids (VFA) (acetic, propionic, butyric, iso-butyric, iso-valeric and valeric acids) produced from the anaerobic-mixed fermentation of slaughterhouse blood. A range of operational parameters and reagents were assessed to optimize each system. Esterification recovered VFA as methyl esters with the production of ammonium sulphate as a value-added by-product of the esterification reaction. A membrane extraction system, comprised of a hydrophobic membrane and extractant using octanol/TOA (trioctylamine), was efficient to separate butyric and iso-valeric acids in favour of acetic acid from the fermentation broth. These results provided important information for the development of a carboxylate-platform bio-refinery using high-protein wastes as substrate.

Abstract
Two routes, esterification and membrane based solvent extraction, were tested for their efficiency to extract volatile fatty acids (VFA) (acetic, propionic, butyric, iso-butyric, iso-valeric and valeric acids) produced from the anaerobic-mixed fermentation of slaughterhouse blood. A range of operational parameters and reagents were assessed to optimize each system. Esterification recovered VFA as methyl esters with the production of ammonium sulphate as a value-added by-product of the esterification reaction. A membrane extraction system, comprised of a hydrophobic membrane and extractant using octanol/TOA (trioctylamine), was efficient to separate butyric and iso-valeric acids in favour of acetic acid from the fermentation broth. These results provided important information for the development of a carboxylate-platform bio-refinery using high-protein wastes as substrate.
