The invention discloses a method for separating
synephrine from
hesperidin waste liquid, which comprises the following steps: S1, loading a
hesperidin mother liquid to strongly acidic cationic resin, after loading is finished, eluting with water, after water
elution is finished, eluting with a strong alkali mixed liquid, collecting an eluate after
elution with the strong alkali mixed liquid, and adjusting the pH value of the eluent to 5-7 to obtain a neutralized solution; and S2, carrying out
ultrafiltration on the neutralized solution, then carrying out concentration through a
nanofiltration membrane, and carrying out cooling
crystallization,
filtration and
drying on the concentrated solution to obtain
synephrine. According to the method for separating
synephrine from the
hesperidin waste liquid, the hesperidin waste liquid is reused, novel poncirin is extracted from the hesperidin waste liquid, the problem of
sewage treatment is solved while
economic benefits are obtained, and
waste recycling is achieved. According to the method,
ion exchange is carried out through the strongly acidic cationic resin,
elution is carried out through the low-concentration strong alkali
mixed solution, no strong pungent smell exists, the requirements for production equipment and the environment are low, and the requirement for
green production is met.
