[0004] CN101265185B discloses a preparation method for separating docosapentaenoic acid methyl ester and docosahexaenoic acid methyl ester with a silver nitrate coated silica gel column, obtaining 99.02% DHA methyl ester and 99.61% DPA methyl ester respectively Ester, the yield is greater than 90%, but expensive silver nitrate is used, and it is easy to introduce heavy metal pollution
[0010] The C18 bonded silica gel used in the above method has the problem that the bonded groups are constantly falling off, so that the purification effect is continuously reduced, and frequent renewal of expensive C18 packing will push up the price of the product
Moreover, C18 has limited ability to separate different types of unsaturated fatty acids. In order to improve the resolution, a certain proportion of water needs to be added to the mobile phase. However, the introduction of water will lead to difficulties in solvent recovery, high energy consumption, and the concentration of the raw material solution low, low production capacity

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating an eicosapentaenoic acid ester (EPA) ester from a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ester by virtue of simulated moving bed chromatography. According to the method, a polystyrene/divinylbenzene type reverse-phase resin is taken as a stationary phase and pure ethanol is taken as an eluent; mixed poly-unsaturated fatty acid esters are continuously separated by virtue of 4-area simulated moving bed chromatography; the ethanol solution of the DHA ester is continuously collected from an extract outlet, while the ethanol solution of the EPA ester is continuously collected from a raffinate outlet; finally, the monomers of the EPA ester and the DHA ester are obtained by virtue of vacuum concentration. The method has the characteristics of high yield, low solvent consumption and no toxic solvent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of chemical separation technology, in particular to a method for preparing high-purity EPA ester and DHA ester monomers by using simulated moving bed chromatography Background technique [0002] EPA and DHA are mainly biosynthesized by marine microalgae such as red algae, brown algae, and chlorella, and are ingested and accumulated in marine animals through the food chain. At present, the main source of EPA and DHA is deep-sea fish oil, which has various physiological effects on human health: (1) preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, EPA and DHA mainly inhibit the formation of thrombus, reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, etc. Effectively avoid the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; (2) prevent cancer, EPA and DHA can be used for the prevention and adjuvant treatment of malignant tumors; (3) anti-inflammation, EPA and DHA reduce the inflammatory mediator PGE2 by inhibi...
