The invention provides a
crystallization method for concerting
cefotaxime acid to
sodium salt; the method comprises the steps: water,
acetone and
anhydrous sodium acetate are added into a three-necked
bottle;
cefotaxime acid is added into the three-necked
bottle after the temperature is lowered; then, the mixture in the three-necked
bottle is stirred to cause the mixture to dissolve; next, added with
active carbon, stirred, filtered and washed with
acetone; the filter liquor is combined, added with
acetone by dripping and added with
crystal seeds, crystallized, stirred, added with acetone by dripping again, cooled, crystallized, filtered, soaked and washed with acetone for twice and dried in vacuum to obtain
cefotaxime sodium crystal. The
crystallization method has the advantages of simple menstruum, simplicity and feasibility, low cost, good
crystal forms, good mobility, easy sub-
package, high
clarity and good color grade, thus being suitable for large-scale promotion and application and having obvious
economic benefits.
