[0069] Example 6

[0070] Adjust the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of the milk-white tea tree in step (1) of Example 1 to fresh leaves (7-9 leaves) of the medium tea 108 tea tree, and the rest remains the same as Example 1.

[0071] Example 7

[0072] Adjust the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of the milk white tea tree in step (1) of Example 1 to the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of the golden leaf tea tree, and keep the rest the same as Example 1.

[0073] Example 8

[0074] Adjust the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of the milk white tea tree in step (1) of Example 1 to the fresh leaves (4-6 leaves) of the golden leaf tea tree, and keep the rest the same as Example 1.

[0079] Example 11

[0080] Adjust the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of the milk white tea tree in step (1) of Example 1 to the fresh leaves (4-6 leaves) of the Longjing 43 tea tree, and keep the rest the same as Example 1.

[0081] Example 12

[0082] Adjust the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of the milk white tea tree in step (1) of Example 1 to the fresh leaves (7-9 leaves) of the Longjing 43 tea tree, and keep the rest the same as Example 1.

[0083] The test results are as follows:

[0084] Figure 1 The test results of Examples 1-6; wherein a, b, c are the milk white tea tree varieties 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 leaves respectively; d, e, f are the Zhongcha 108 tea tree varieties 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 leaves respectively.

[0085] Figure 2 The test results of Examples 7-12; wherein a, b, c are the golden leaf tea tree varieties 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 leaves respectively; d, e, f are the Longjing 43 tea tree varieties 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 leaves respectively.

[0086] From Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be seen that a small amount of cationic fluorine aluminum complex is separated in four tea varieties, accounting for 0.6%-18%, and there is difference among the varieties, and the cationic fluorine aluminum complex in the leaves of Zhongcha 108 tea variety accounts for the highest proportion.

[0087] The following was used 19 F-NMR was used to determine the eluent collected in the resin separation process, and the determination samples included sodium fluoride standard solution, cationic fluorine and anionic fluorine in the fluorine aluminum mixed solution, and cationic fluorine and anionic fluorine in the leaf juice of Longjing 43 tea variety.

[0088] Figure 3 The content of anionic and cationic fluorine separated from 4-6 leaves of Longjing 43 tea variety 19 F-NMR spectrum. From Figure 3 It can be seen that the chemical shift of sodium fluoride standard solution is-120.13ppm, representing free fluorine ion, and the chemical shifts of-122.23 and-120.66ppm in fluorine aluminum mixed solution and leaf juice also represent fluorine ion; only free fluorine ion and complex fluorine exist in fluorine aluminum mixed solution, therefore, the peaks with chemical shifts of-156.13 and-156.63ppm must be fluorine aluminum complex, and combined with GEOCHEM-EZ analysis, it is speculated that they represent AlF 2+ and AlF2 + respectively. In addition, the peak with chemical shift of-156.63ppm and an unlabeled small peak are detected in the cationic fluorine of tea leaf juice, which represent AlF2 + and AlF 2+ respectively.

[0089] Example 13

[0090] In step (1) of Example 1, the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the stems of Nai Bai tea tree, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0091] Example 14

[0092] In step (1) of Example 1, the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the stems of Zhongcha 108, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0093] Example 15

[0094] In step (1) of Example 1, the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the stems of Longjing 43, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0095] Example 16

[0096] In step (1) of Example 1, the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the stems of Huangjin Ye, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0097] The test results are as follows:

[0098] Figure 4 The test results of Examples 13-16 are shown in Table 2, wherein a, b, c, d are Huangjin, Longjing 43, Nai Bai, Zhongcha 108, respectively. Figure 4 It can be seen that the contents of fluorine and aluminum in the four tea tree varieties are low, and there is no obvious peak of cationic fluorine, and the curves of fluorine ions and aluminum ions do not overlap significantly, indicating that fluorine mainly exists in the form of fluorine ions in tea stems, and fluorine-aluminum complex is not the main transport form in tea stems.

[0099] Example 17

[0100] In Example 1, step (1), the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the roots of Nai Bai tea tree, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0101] Example 18

[0102] In Example 1, step (1), the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the roots of Zhongcha 108, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0103] Example 19

[0104] In Example 1, step (1), the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the roots of Longjing 43, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0105] Example 20

[0106] In Example 1, step (1), the fresh leaves (1-3 leaves) of Nai Bai tea tree were replaced by the roots of Huangjin, and the others were consistent with Example 1.

[0107] The test results are as follows:

[0108] Figure 5 The test results of Examples 17-20 are shown in Table 2, wherein a, b, c, d are Huangjin, Longjing 43, Nai Bai, Zhongcha 108, respectively. Figure 5 It can be seen that the contents of fluorine and aluminum in the four tea tree varieties are low, and there is no obvious peak of cationic fluorine, and the curves of fluorine ions and aluminum ions do not overlap significantly, indicating that fluorine mainly exists in the form of fluorine ions in tea stems, and fluorine-aluminum complex is not the main transport form in tea stems.

[0109] Comparative Example 1

[0110] In Example 11, the grinding and crushing were omitted, and the others were consistent with Example 11.

[0111] It was found that most of the plant tissues were not damaged, and the tea leaf juice could not be completely separated, which affected the final separation result.

[0112] Comparative Example 2

[0113] Adjustment was made to the elution solution in Example 11 CH-32 strong base anion exchange resin is a chlorine type anion exchange resin, and the other conditions are the same as in Example 11.

[0114] It was found that the chlorine type anion exchange resin had poor selective adsorption effect on fluorine ions, and due to the interference of other adsorbed ions, the separation effect of the fluorine aluminum complex was not good.

[0115] Comparative Example 3

[0116] The mass concentration of the sodium chloride solution eluted in Example 11 was adjusted to 2%, and the other conditions were the same as in Example 11.

[0117] It was found that the cationic fluorine aluminum complex could not be separated, and the too low mass concentration of the sodium chloride solution affected the actual separation efficiency, resulting in prolonged separation time and elongated peak shape, which could not meet the actual demand.

[0118] Comparative Example 4

[0119] The mass concentration of the sodium chloride solution eluted in Example 11 was adjusted to deionized water, and the other conditions were the same as in Example 11.

[0120] It was found that only the cationic fluorine aluminum complex could be eluted, and the adsorbed anionic fluorine aluminum complex could not be eluted, which could not achieve the separation effect.

[0121] Example 21 Verification Experiment

[0122] Sodium fluoride and aluminum sulfate were used as fluorine source and aluminum source respectively to configure standard solutions with different fluorine aluminum ratios (fluorine aluminum ratio 100 / 0, 100 / 20, 100 / 50, 100 / 100, 100 / 200; mg / L), and the standard solutions were passed into CH-32 strong base anion exchange resin, and a gradient elution method was used to separate the fluorine aluminum complex, and the eluate was collected every 6 min to determine the fluorine content and aluminum content to draw a separation graph.

[0123] The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 6 From the results, it can be seen that the CH-32 strong base anion exchange resin has good separation effect on the fluorine aluminum complex. Figure 6It can be seen that when only sodium fluoride is added, the solution only has fluoride ions with a valence of -1, at this time the fluoride ions are completely adsorbed by the resin, after being separated by elution, the peak of the anion form of fluoride on the right side is formed; when the fluorine aluminum solution with a fluorine aluminum ratio of 100 / 20 (mg / L) is added, the fluoride ions and aluminum ions in the solution form various complexes, after being separated, the fluorine aluminum complexes of the cation type on the left side and the anion type on the right side are formed, wherein the cation type contains AlF 2+ , AlF2 + and AlF3, and the anion type contains F-, AlF4 - , AlF5 2- , AlF6 3- . Through the above results, the feasibility of the method of the present application can be verified from the side.

[0124] Although the present application has been disclosed in the above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application, and any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, therefore the protection scope of the present application should be defined by the claims.
