The invention relates to a method for purifying a
penicillin production waste liquid and recycling
sodium sulfate. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, primarily evaporating the
penicillin production waste liquid; concentrating a
raw material liquid in desorbing residual solvents in the waste liquid; adding
activated carbon into the primarily concentrated
raw material liquid, wherein the
liquid phase obtained from separation is a destaining solution of which a part of organisms are removed; continuously evaporating the destaining solution to obtain a concentrated destaining solution; adding alkali into the concentrated destaining solution, reacting to remove the impurities, filtering and precipitating, wherein an obtained liquid is an alkali treated liquid; adding a
dilution agent for
dilution crystallization into the alkali treated liquid, performing
solid-liquid separation, and recrystalizing the
solid, thereby obtaining high-purity
sodium sulfate crystal; feeding a liquid into a
solvent recycling
tower for recycling the
dilution agent, and feeding a
tower kettle liquid to a biochemical
pool for treatment. Compared with the prior art, organisms such as
protein and
pigment in the
penicillin production waste liquid are reduced, at the same time
sodium sulfate is recycled, then circulation application of
sodium sulfate and water is achieved, the treatment difficulty and cost of the penicillin production waste liquid are remarkably alleviated and lowered, and great economic and environment benefits are achieved.
