The invention discloses a comprehensive water-saving process for producing
stevioside. Down-column water generated in a resin adsorption step is subjected to purification treatment and a waste acid, a waste alkali and waste water, which are generated in an adsorption resin and desalting and decolorizing resin regeneration step are subjected to treatment, in the production procedure of the
stevioside. According to the comprehensive water-saving process, a water extracting solution of a
stevia leaf is subjected to resin adsorption; down-column waste water is subjected to rough
filtration, primary
filtration,
ceramic film
filtration, resin adsorption treatment,
ozone treatment, adsorption filtration and
reverse osmosis treatment in sequence to obtain purifier water which is directly used for the
water extraction of the
stevia leaf; abundant waste acid, waste alkali and waste water, which are produced in a resin regeneration procedure, are recycled; a
water consumption is decreased by 70 percent or above; an acid consumption and an alkali consumption are decreased by 60 percent or above; meanwhile, by-products flavone and
chlorogenic acid are obtained. According to the comprehensive water-saving process, a new
pollutant does not be generated; no new chemical reagents are put; the quality of
treated water is high; part of indexes are superior to those of underground water and municipal water; the ash content of a
stevioside product can be decreased; the improvement of the purity and the yield of the product is facilitated; the industrial production value of the stevioside is improved.
