Microbiological treatment of thickened sulphite liquors.Peer-reviewed article

K. ŠESTAUBER

A microbiological treatment of thickened sulphite liquors that were deprived of lime is described. The following microorganisms were used: Escherichia coli, Enterobacter agglomerans, Erwinia amylovora and Erwinia carotovora. Sulphite liquors contain a mixture of arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose and glucose in 25 % w/w of the dry matter. Using the procedure, a lignosulphonan product with a low monosaccharides suitable especially for a production of the plastic ingredient for concretes and mortars with a cement binder can be obtained. An adapted procedure for the determination of monosaccharides in sulphite liquors using the GLC method is described in details.
