[0043] Compared with traditional purification technology, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0044] (1) The chromatographic concentration membrane adopts the principle of reverse osmosis technology. Reverse osmosis is a reverse migration movement of osmosis. It is a separation method that separates the solute and solvent in the solution by means of the selective interception effect of the semipermeable membrane under pressure. Reverse osmosis technology has been widely used in the purification and concentration of various liquids. The most common application example is in the water treatment process, where reverse osmosis technology is used to remove impurities such as inorganic ions, bacteria, viruses, organic matter and colloids in the feed liquid to increase the concentration of the feed liquid;
[0045] (2) Since the heavy phase separated from the allulose chromatography is difficult to reuse, the use of a chromatographic concentration membrane can increase the allulose content in the liquid from 8% to 25%, reducing production costs;
[0046] (3) Under the action of reverse osmosis, impurities such as aldehydes and inorganic salts in the feed liquid can be intercepted, the output feed liquid has higher purity, more feed liquid can be reused, and the product quality and output are improved;
[0047] (4) Using chromatographic concentration membrane, six concentration columns work alternately, and the whole process is controlled by PLC automatic control device, which is simple to operate and reduces labor costs.
[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
