Process for improving the separation efficiency of residual solid matter from the liquid phase of an aqueous acid hydrolysate of a naturally occurring polysaccharide comprising dissolved sugars, and residual acid wherein a flocculating agent(s) is added to the aqueous mixture in an effective amount,
Process for improving the separation efficiency of residual solid matter from the liquid phase of an aqueous acid hydrolysate of a naturally occurring polysaccharide comprising dissolved sugars, and residual acid wherein a flocculating agent(s) is added to the aqueous mixture in an effective amount, and a process of producing fermentation products comprising the steps of, (i) hydrolysing a particulate polysaccharide based plant derived material in an acid medium, and thereby forming an aqueous mixture comprising dissolved sugar and solid matter, (ii) subjecting the aqueous mixture to one or more separation stages in which solid matter are removed from the aqueous phase, (iii) adjusting the pH of the obtained aqueous phase to a pH of at least 4, (iv) fermenting the dissolved sugars of the aqueous phase by a microorganism to produce a fermentation product, (v) isolating the fermentation product, wherein in at least one separation stage in step (ii) a flocculating agent is added to the aqueous mixture in an effective amount.

The invention claimed is: 1. A process of producing fermentation product comprising the steps of, (i) hydrolysing a particulate polysaccharide based plant derived material in an acid medium using an acid having a pKa below 4 in a concentration of at least 10% by weight, and thereby forming an acidic aqueous mixture comprising dissolved sugar and solid matter, (ii) subjecting the acidic aqueous mixture to one or more separation stages in which solid matter are removed from the acidic aqueous mixture to obtain an aqueous phase, (iii) adjusting the pH of the obtained aqueous phase to a pH of at least 4, (iv) fermenting the dissolved sugars of the aqueous phase by a microorganism to produce a fermentation product, (v) isolating the fermentation product, characterised in that in at least one separation stage in step (ii) a flocculating agent is added to the acidic aqueous mixture in an effective amount to flocculate the solid matter and the flocculating agent is selected from the group consisting of water soluble polymers, water-swellable polymers, and charged microparticulate material and the separation stage includes mechanical means selected from the group consisting of a filter press, centrifuge, belt press, horizontal belt filter, and pressure filter, to separated the solid matter as cake solids. 2. A process according to claim 1 in which the plant derived material comprises components selected from the group consisting of herbaceous biomass, softwood biomass, hardwood biomass, sewage sludge, paper mill sludge and the biomass fraction of municipal solid waste. 3. A process according to claim 1 in which the solid matter are subjected to at least one wash cycle, which wash cycle comprises washing the solid matter and then repeating stages (i) and (ii). 4. A process according to claim 1 in which the flocculating agent is selected from the group consisting of water-soluble or water swellable natural, semi-natural and synthetic polymers. 5. A process according to claim 4 in which the polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylate salts, polyacrylamide, copolymers of acrylamide with (meth) acrylic acid or salts thereof, copolymers derived from acrylamide and dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate acid salt or quaternary ammonium salts, polymers derived from diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride, polyamines and polyethylene imines. 6. A process according to claim 1 in which the flocculating agent is a charged microparticulate material. 7. A process according to claim 6 in which the charged microparticulate material is selected from the group consisting of swellable clays, anionic, cationic or amphoteric microparticulate silica based materials and organic cross-linked polymeric microparticles. 8. A process according to claim 1 in which the flocculating agent is a water soluble or water-swellable polymer and a charged microparticulate material. 9. A process according to claim 1 in which the acid having a pKa below 4 is sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. 10. The process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of flocculating agent is in the range of from 0.002 to 1% by weight, based on the weight of solid matter.
