This invention relates to the field of
glycerol purification technology, specifically to a multi-stage
distillation purification method for pharmaceutical-grade
glycerol. Using industrially synthesized crude
glycerol as
raw material, the pretreated material is obtained through heating and degassing. Then, a first-stage molecular
distillation removes low-boiling-point impurities, yielding an
intermediate product. A second-stage molecular
distillation further refines the product, collecting the gaseous glycerol fraction. Finally, under
nitrogen protection, trace
colored substances and residual polar impurities are removed through an adsorbent
bed. After cooling, pharmaceutical-grade glycerol is obtained. Finally, the product is filtered and aseptically filled. This invention effectively removes aldehydes and ketones, residual solvents, and trace impurities from synthetic glycerol through the
coupling of two-stage molecular distillation and adsorption processes. The resulting product has a purity ≥99.7%, total
aldehyde and
ketone impurities ≤0.005%,
residual solvent ≤0.001%,
bacterial endotoxin <2.5 EU / g, and batch-to-batch RSD <1%, meeting the standards for injection and suitable as an
excipient in high-end pharmaceutical preparations.
