Recovery of Methyl Acetoacetate from Antibiotic Production Plant\'s Waste Streams (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Authors
Abstract:
Chemical recovery of methyl acetoacetate from the amoxicillin plant’s waste stream was investigated. In process of amoxicillin production for activation of amoxicillin molecule, hydrolysis takes place at final stage. As a result methyl acetoacetate is formed. Liquid-liquid extraction was employed for the recovery of methyl acetoacetate from the waste stream. Diluted alkaline solution was used as an extractive agent for the chemical extraction process. Extraction was carried out while the pH was adjusted to 9.5 by addition of alkaline solution. The extraction was repeated in three consecutive stages to enhance the process yield. Finally, distillation was carried out to remove the volatile compounds residues. Samples were taken from each stage of separation for GC analysis. The recovered methyl acetoacetate with purity of 93 % and yield of 75 % was obtained from extraction and distillation processes.

Biogas Production and Nutrient Recovery from Waste Streams
Waste streams such as municipal wastewater and animal manure contain organic materials and nutrients that can be converted and recovered for bioenergy and renewable fertilizer production. In the first part of this thesis, the anaerobic co-digestion of dairy manure with kitchen waste and chicken fat was studied for the purpose of increasing biogas production. The methane yields of co-digestion s...
