The invention discloses a method for crystallizing alpha-
cyclodextrin, and belongs to the technical field of
cyclodextrin production. The invention discloses an alpha-CD
crystallization method, which controls
crystal growth by regulating and controlling a
crystallization kinetic process, shortens a
crystallization period, can obtain higher alpha-CD crystallization yield in a shorter crystallization time, does not need to add an
organic solvent, and is simple in preparation process, easy to operate, short in crystallization period and suitable for industrial production. Meanwhile, the defect that alpha-
cyclodextrin generates fine crystals under the condition of high
supersaturation degree is overcome, the particle size of the crystals is greatly increased, the product quality and the crystallization yield are further improved, subsequent
centrifugal separation is facilitated, and the method is suitable for large-scale production. The obtained alpha-cyclodextrin
crystal is higher in purity, more uniform in particle, good in fluidity, stable in quality, needle-shaped, smooth and flat in
crystal face, high in
bulk density, small in
angle of repose, simple in process and convenient for industrial production.
