The invention discloses a method for synergistically preparing tea
saponin and a microbial flocculant, which comprises the following steps: preparing tea
saponin crude extract and oil-tea cake extract from oil-tea cake, preparing the extract into an oil-tea cake culture medium, inoculating a
flocculation functional
bacteria seed solution for culturing, and preparing a pure microbial flocculant product. Preparing the tea
saponin into a solution, mixing the solution with a tea saponin crude extract after oil removal and a coagulant aid solution for
flocculation, and standing to obtain liquid tea saponin; and carrying out primary concentration, extraction, decoloration and secondary concentration on the liquid tea saponin to obtain the
solid tea saponin. According to the method for synergistically preparing the tea saponin and the microbial flocculant, the microbial flocculant and the tea saponin which are high in yield and purity can be prepared at the same time, circulating sharing of water and an
organic solvent can be achieved, and
resource utilization of the oil tea cakes is achieved. The method also has the advantages of simple process, convenience in operation, low cost, environmental friendliness and the like, and is high in use value and good in application prospect.
