Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical production equipment, and particularly relates to a norepinephrine bitartrate mother liquor recovery and utilization device. Background Art
[0002] Norepinephrine bitartrate is often used to treat hypotension caused by acute myocardial infarction, extracorporeal circulation or pheochromocytoma resection; as an auxiliary treatment for replenishing blood volume during emergency treatment; it can also be used to maintain hypotension during intrathecal blockade and blood pressure after cardiac arrest resuscitation.
[0003] There are several existing synthetic routes for noradrenaline bitartrate. A common production method involves salting tartaric acid with racemic noradrenaline, then separating the R-type noradrenaline by controlling the crystallization temperature in the presence of a solvent. While this method is simple and efficient, it produces a crystallization mother liquor containing isomers and some uncrystallized noradrenaline bitartrate. Directly discharging this mother liquor without treating and utilizing it can firstly complicate wastewater treatment and impact the environment, and secondly, reduce product yield, leading to increased production costs. Therefore, recycling this mother liquor is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

The isomers are split at 30°C, and the isomers are precipitated as solids. After splitting for one hour, the split reaction solution is transported to the crystallization kettle 4, stirred and cooled. When the temperature drops to 0-5°C, stirring is stopped and crystallization is started. The crystallization time is 1-3 hours.
