Sustainable separation of bio-based cadaverine based on carbon dioxide capture by forming carbamate.

ABSTRACT: Bio-based cadaverine, manufactured by the decarboxylation of l-lysine, is an important raw material. However, the extractive-distillation separation and purification of cadaverine from bioconversion fluids require high energy consumption and leads to the loss of self-released carbon dioxide during the decarboxylation of l-lysine. This study focuses on the green and sustainable separation of bio-based cadaverine based on the capture of self-released carbon dioxide by cadaverine forming carbamate. Results showed that granular-activated carbon JK1 shows the best decolorization efficiency and achieves a higher cadaverine yield. After three times of solventing-out crystallization, refined cadaverine carbamate with 99.1% purity and total 57.48% yield was obtained. It was also found that the refined cadaverine carbamate consists of mixed crystals having numerous structural forms that can easily dissociate carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the amine carbamate strategy may be of great value for the development of a green and sustainable separation mode of bio-based amines and carbon dioxide capture.
