Problems solved by technology

[0005] U.S. patents US 3122565, US 3402183, and US 2005 / 131240 all use ion exchange resins to separate tocopherols, and obtain high-purity D-α-tocopherols, D-γ-tocopherols, and D-δ-tocopherols. Phenol homologues have very little structural difference, consume a large amount of resin and solvent, and the separation cost is too high to realize industrialization; U.S. Patents US 4480108, US 4602098, US 4607111, etc. are based on D-α-tocopherol, D-β-tocopherol , D-γ-tocopherol and D-δ-tocopherol ester derivatives have different degrees of difficulty in the deacylation reaction, and the deacylation reaction is combined with chromatographic separation or distillation to achieve the separation of each tocopherol homolog
This type of method does not directly use tocopherol as the raw material for separation, and the process is relatively complicated, so it is not easy for industrial application

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating D-alpha-tocopherol from mixed tocopherol, which comprises the following steps: an ionic liquid or a binary mixed solvent consisting of the ionic liquid and a polar solvent are taken as an extracting agent, and a fractional extraction method is adopted to efficiently separate the D-alpha-tocopherol from the mixed tocopherol containing the D-alpha-tocopherol, D-beta-tocopherol, D-gamma-tocopherol and D-delta-tocopherol. The method has the advantages of high separation efficiency, less solvent consumption, low production cost, safety, environmental protection, easy for industrialized production and so on.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating D-alpha-tocopherol from mixed tocopherols, in particular to a method for selectively separating D-alpha-tocopherol from mixed tocopherols by using ionic liquid or a composite solvent composed of ionic liquid and polar solvent as a medium. The method for α-tocopherol belongs to the technical field of chemical engineering. Background technique [0002] Natural vitamin E (Natural Vitamin E) is a commonly used medicine and health care product. It has become an important vitamin variety with a wide range of uses and a large production and sales volume in the international market. Together with vitamin C and vitamin A, it has become the three pillars of the vitamin series. product. Natural vitamin E is a mixture mainly composed of four tocopherol homologues derived from tocol, including: D-α-tocopherol, D-β-tocopherol, D-γ-tocopherol phenol and D-delta-tocopherol, both with saturated C 16 The side chains di...
