Electrolysis system for preparing reduced glutathione

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrolysis system for preparing reduced glutathione. The electrolysis system comprises an electrolytic cell (1), a cathode bar (2), an anode bar (3) and a diaphragm (7). The electrolytic cell (1) is in a cylindrical shape. Diaphragm grooves (6) are formed in the inner wall of the electrolytic cell (1). Two side edges of the diaphragm (7) are inserted in the diaphragm grooves (6). The electrolytic cell (1) is divided into a cathode cell (8) and an anode cell (9) through the diaphragm (7). The electrolysis system further comprises an electrode stand (5) which comprises two guide rails and moving pieces. A distance exists between the two guide rails. Grooves are formed in the inner sides of the guide rails, the two ends of each moving piece are embedded in the grooves, and the moving pieces move between the two guide rails. The multiple sets of moving pieces are arranged, the guide rails stretch and contract, and the distance between the guide rails is adjusted. The electrode stand (5) is an insulator. Bends are arranged at the two ends of the electrode stand (5), and the bends can stretch and contract. The electrolysis system is used for preparing the glutathione.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chemical process device, particularly a process device for preparing glutathione. Background technique [0002] Glutathione (glutathione, GSH) is a tripeptide containing γ-amide bonds and sulfhydryl groups, composed of glutamic acid, cysteine ​​and glycine. Exist in almost every cell of the body. Glutathione can help maintain the normal immune system function, and has anti-oxidation and integrated detoxification effects. The sulfhydryl group on cysteine ​​is its active group (so it is often abbreviated as G-SH), the raw material of glutathione Production is almost monopolized by Japan's KYOWA fermentation, so the price of glutathione has remained high. There is a lack of mass production capacity in China, and there are only two nationally approved API manufacturers. Stepping up to develop, develop and realize the industrialization of glutathione production will have significant social and economic benefits for my country's phar...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, GSH is mainly produced by fermentation, and the post-treatment mainly adopts copper salt method, that is, cuprous oxide is used to form copper salt precipitation with GSH in the fermentation broth, and then reduced with hydrogen sulfide to obtain GSH. Development of greener production processes

The existing electrolytic process for preparing glutathione generally adopts rod-shaped electrodes, which have limited effective electrolytic area and low efficiency, and are easily corroded after long-term use, which affects the continuous progress of the electrolytic process and improves the efficiency of the electrolytic process for preparing glutathione.
