The invention belongs to the technical field of separation and purification of
artemisinin, and concretely relates to an
artemisinin separation and purification technology. The separation and purification technology comprises the following steps: S1, Sweet Wormwood
Herb extract is concentrated, and undergoes press
filtration to obtain first crude
artemisinin crystals and a first
mother liquor, thefirst
mother liquor is concentrated under a reduced pressure to obtain a first artemisinin extract; S2, the first artemisinin extract is added to an
alcohol-water solution, stirring is performed fordissolving and dispersing, and then separation is carried out to obtain a first
alcohol-water extract and a second artemisinin extract; S3, the second artemisinin extract undergoes processes in step S2 to obtain a second
alcohol-water extract and a third artemisinin extract; S4, the first alcohol-water extract and the second alcohol-water extract are mixed, and the obtained mixture is cooled and crystallized, and then undergo press
filtration to obtain second crude artemisinin crystals and a second
mother liquor; and S5, the first crude artemisinin crystals and the second crude artemisinin crystals are mixed, and are dissolved in an alcohol
solvent, the obtained solution is filtered, and the obtained filtrate is heated, and then undergoes reduced pressure concentration, cooling, press
filtration and
drying to obtain refined artemisinin. The product obtained by the separation and purification technology has the advantages of high
recovery rate, high purity and high
crystal form quality.
