The invention relates to a purification method for sodium hyaluronate, comprising the following steps of: performing adsorption and filtration on comb enzymolysis solution once by active carbon, uniformly stirring and mixing the obtained filtrate with CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride) aqueous solution, performing complex-precipitation thoroughly, standing the precipitate, removing the supernatant, and stirring and dissociating the complex precipitate by dissociating solution; diluting the dissociated liquid to 2-8 folds of the volume thereof, performing complex-precipitation for the second time, removing the supernatant after the complex-precipitation is finished, washing the precipitate for 1-3 times, and stirring and dissociating the complex precipitate by the dissociating solution; and adsorbing the liquid dissociated for the second time by the active carbon, and then removing carbon and filtering, precipitating the filtrate by alcohol, dehydrating the obtained sodium hyaluronate, and vacuumizing. The sodium hyaluronate finished product prepared by the method is low in absorbance, few in impurities, high in yield, good in the physicochemical property of intermediate, and few in adverse reactions.
